What is the purpose of the drilled holes on this brake rotor?

The drilled holes help to vent hot gases and heat away from the rotor surface. This can lead to more consistent braking performance, especially during repeated stops or heavy braking situations.

Will this rotor fit my 1989 Dodge Dakota 4WD?

This specific rotor is listed for 1987-1990 Dodge Dakota RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive) models. Fitment for 4WD models may differ, so it's important to confirm compatibility for your vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

This R1 Concepts drilled brake rotor is made from a solid cast iron construction, a common material chosen for its balance of durability and heat handling. The drilling pattern on the rotor surface isn't just for looks; it helps gases and heat escape from between the pad and rotor surface. This is particularly helpful during hard braking or repeated stops, where excess heat can reduce stopping power. This rotor is specifically for the front left side of your 1987-1990 Dodge Dakota with rear-wheel drive.

The black coating on this rotor is applied to protect it from rust and corrosion during shipping and storage, and it will wear off after the first few brake applications. It's important to note that while this rotor is drilled, it's designed to be a direct replacement for your stock rotor, meaning no modifications are needed for installation. Just be sure to properly bed in your new pads and rotors according to the pad manufacturer's instructions for optimal performance and longevity.
