Front G-Coated Performance Drilled & Slotted Rotor Set

High-Performance Thermal Management for 1994–1999 Dodge Ram 1500

Revitalize the braking response and heat-handling capabilities of your truck with this 2-Piece Premium G-Coated Performance Rotor Set. Engineered specifically for the heavy-duty requirements of the second-generation Dodge Ram 1500, these rotors feature a precision Drilled and Slotted design. The cross-drilled holes allow for rapid cooling and gas evacuation, while the slots continuously clear brake dust and moisture from the friction surface, ensuring a consistent contact patch and significantly reducing brake fade during towing or hauling.

Each rotor is finished with a Premium G-Coated treatment. This specialized rust-resistant coating protects the hub, vents, and edges from corrosion, maintaining a clean appearance and preventing the "frozen rotor" issues common in high-moisture or salt-heavy environments. Constructed from high-strength cast iron, these rotors are 100% precision balanced to eliminate the pedal pulsation and steering wheel vibration often found in standard replacement parts.

Fitment Verification and Vehicle Applications

This set services the Front Axle (Driver and Passenger Side) for the following 5-lug configurations:

• Dodge Ram 1500 4WD: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999.

• Dodge Ram 1500 (All Drive Types): 1997.

• Important Note: These are slip-on rotors designed for 4-Wheel Drive models (and 1997 2WD/4WD). They do not include internal wheel bearing races. Please verify your outside diameter (295mm) and lug count (5-Lug) before purchase.

Installation and Technical Tips

• Hub Surface Preparation: Use a wire brush or hub cleaning kit to remove all rust and debris from the vehicle's wheel hub. Because these are performance rotors, even a microscopic layer of rust between the hub and the rotor can cause "lateral run-out," leading to premature vibration.

• Remove Protective Residue: While G-Coated rotors are protected from rust, it is best practice to wipe down the friction surfaces with a dedicated brake cleaner to remove any oils or fingerprints before installing your brake pads.

• Caliper Inspection: When upgrading to performance rotors, always inspect your caliper slide pins. Ensure they are properly lubricated with high-temperature silicone brake grease to prevent uneven pad wear and sticking.

• The Break-In Procedure: To properly "bed" these rotors, perform 5 to 8 moderate stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph. Allow the brakes to cool for several minutes while driving without coming to a complete stop. This process seasons the cast iron and establishes a proper friction layer with the pads.
