AR8771SCR

Overview:

The PowerStop Semi Coated Rotor is a premium front brake rotor designed specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 (2006–2008), Ram 2500 (2003–2008), and Ram 3500 (2003–2008) models. Engineered to provide an easy and affordable brake upgrade, this rotor offers a direct bolt-on replacement for your original equipment. Its partial silver epoxy coating protects critical areas from corrosion, ensuring a clean, durable appearance behind modern alloy wheels. Ideal for drivers seeking reliable stopping power and long-lasting performance without compromising factory fitment or quality.

Whether you use your Ram for daily driving, towing, or heavy-duty work, the PowerStop Semi Coated Rotor delivers consistent braking performance with enhanced resistance to rust and wear. This rotor maintains original equipment specifications, including weight and vane count, for a seamless installation and dependable operation.

Key Features:

Designed to meet or exceed OE standards, the PowerStop Semi Coated Rotor combines corrosion resistance with precise engineering for optimal braking performance:

• Silver epoxy coating on the hat, outer edge, and vanes to prevent corrosion and maintain a clean look
• Manufactured to strict tolerances for Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) and runout, ensuring smooth and quiet braking
• Cross-hatched friction surface promotes optimal brake pad break-in and consistent stopping power
• Exact weight and vane count matching original equipment for guaranteed fitment and balanced performance
• 100% dynamically mill balanced to reduce vibration and noise during operation
• Direct bolt-on replacement requires no modifications or special tools
• Painted hat and edges extend rotor life by resisting rust in high-exposure areas
• Sold individually to allow for flexible brake service and replacement

Construction & Design:

PowerStop rotors are crafted from high-quality cast iron, providing excellent thermal conductivity and durability under demanding conditions. The semi-coated design focuses corrosion protection on the rotor’s hat, outer edges, and internal vanes—areas most vulnerable to rust—while leaving the braking surface uncoated for optimal pad contact. This balance preserves braking efficiency while enhancing longevity and appearance.

Precision manufacturing processes ensure tight tolerances for thickness and runout, minimizing brake judder and noise. The cross-hatched finish on the rotor surface facilitates rapid pad bedding, improving initial bite and overall brake feel. The rotor’s weight and vane count are engineered to match factory specifications, maintaining proper heat dissipation and structural integrity.

Installation & Fitment:

The PowerStop Semi Coated Rotor is designed as a direct replacement for front rotors on select Dodge Ram models, including the 1500 (2006–2008), 2500 (2003–2008), and 3500 (2003–2008) series. Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications, making it suitable for both professional mechanics and knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts. Simply remove the old rotor and bolt on the new PowerStop rotor using existing hardware.

This rotor fits a wide range of Ram trims such as Laramie, SLT, SXT, Power Wagon, Sport, ST, and TRX4, ensuring broad compatibility across popular configurations. Always verify fitment with your specific vehicle model and year before purchase.
