120.67038

Overview:

The StopTech Performance Brake Rotor is engineered specifically for Dodge Dakota models from 1997 to 2002 and Dodge Durango models from 1998 to 2002. Designed to deliver reliable, consistent braking performance, these rotors are an excellent upgrade for drivers seeking enhanced stopping power and durability. Whether you’re replacing worn factory rotors or upgrading for improved heat dissipation and corrosion resistance, these rotors provide a dependable solution that meets or exceeds OEM standards.

Ideal for daily driving, towing, and light performance applications, the StopTech rotors ensure smooth, vibration-free braking with a focus on longevity and consistent pedal feel. Their advanced design helps maintain optimal braking efficiency under demanding conditions.

Key Features:

StopTech Performance Brake Rotors incorporate advanced technologies to maximize braking performance and durability. Key features include:

• Painted Hat and Outer Edge: A robust resin-modified paint coating provides superior corrosion resistance, outperforming typical competitor spray paints and withstanding up to 120 hours in salt chamber testing.
• Symmetric Vane Design: Precision-engineered symmetric vanes promote uniform heat distribution, reducing the risk of warping and brake fade.
• Split-Core Castings: Enhance heat dissipation and structural integrity for consistent performance.
• Double Disc Ground Friction Surface: Ensures a smooth, even contact surface for optimal braking efficiency and extended rotor life.
• Low Initial Lateral Run-Out and Disc Thickness Variation: Minimizes vibration and brake judder for a smooth, stable stopping experience.
• Advanced Metallurgy: Engineered for superior heat transfer and structural strength to withstand rigorous braking demands.
• Precision Balance: Balanced to reduce vibration and noise, contributing to a refined driving experience.
• OE Vane Design and Plate Thickness: Maintains original equipment heat capacity and strength for reliable, long-lasting performance.

Construction & Design:

Constructed from high-quality cast iron with advanced metallurgy, these rotors are designed to handle the thermal stresses of repeated braking cycles. The split-core casting technique improves heat dissipation, reducing the risk of rotor warping and extending service life. The painted hat and outer edge use a chemically resilient resin-modified coating that protects against corrosion far better than standard spray paints, ensuring the rotors maintain their integrity and appearance over time.

The friction surface is double disc ground to provide a smooth, consistent finish that promotes even pad wear and reliable stopping power from the first application. Precision balancing and strict manufacturing tolerances ensure minimal lateral run-out and thickness variation, which translates to vibration-free braking performance.

Installation & Fitment:

These rotors are designed as direct replacements for the factory rotors on Dodge Dakota (1997–2002) and Dodge Durango (1998–2002) models, including Base, R/T, SLT, SLT Plus, Sport, and SXT trims. Installation requires no modifications and fits standard OEM hardware and brake components. This makes upgrading straightforward for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

What's Included:

• One pair of StopTech Performance Brake Rotors (front or rear, depending on selection)
• Protective coating on hats and edges

Ideal For:

This product is ideal for Dodge Dakota and Durango owners seeking improved braking reliability and longevity over stock rotors. It suits daily drivers, light towing, and moderate performance use where consistent stopping power and resistance to corrosion are priorities. Enthusiasts looking for a quality OEM-style upgrade with enhanced durability will find these rotors a dependable choice.
