Standard Brake Rotor

The Centric Brake Parts Standard Brake Rotor (SKU CBP121.48006) is engineered for drivers who demand reliable stopping power and predictable braking response in their Suzuki Sidekick 1996–1998. This OEM-specification rotor serves as a direct replacement for aging or worn rotors, restoring your vehicle's factory braking performance without modification to caliper hardware or brake lines. Whether you're maintaining original stopping characteristics or upgrading worn components after years of street use, this cast-iron rotor delivers the thermal stability and friction consistency your Sidekick requires for safe daily driving and occasional off-road duty.

Manufactured from natural cast iron with a 310 mm outer diameter and 22 mm thickness, this standard brake rotor dissipates heat efficiently across its swept surface while maintaining dimensional stability under repeated braking cycles. The 5-bolt 139.7 mm bolt pattern matches Suzuki's original specifications precisely, ensuring zero-shimming installation and eliminating runout concerns that plague mismatched components. Cast-iron construction provides superior friction modulation compared to aftermarket semi-metallic pads, allowing you to control pedal feel and stopping distance predictably during both highway driving and technical off-road descents.

Sidekick owners upgrading aging brakes will appreciate the straightforward installation—no drilling, slotting, or cross-drilling required. At 14.9 lbs per rotor, weight remains minimal while thermal capacity stays sufficient for the vehicle's modest mass and modest power output. Pair this rotor with OEM or quality aftermarket semi-metallic pads to restore factory braking balance; avoid oversizing or cross-platform rotors that will introduce complexity and potential runout issues. This specification rotor is the intelligent choice for drivers prioritizing reliability, fade resistance, and hassle-free maintenance.
