Quick Overview Wagner Rotors Wagner E-Shield rotors are engineered for maximum performance. Featuring an E-Shield protective coating to reduce corrosion and OE-specific vane design for effective braking power, Wagner E-Shield rotors are packaged in a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) bag, eliminating the need for an oil coating which reduces prep time. Wagner E-Shield rotors also feature a turned and smooth surface finish, aiding in the proper seating of the friction and requires less time for rotor break-in. Perfect Pairing: Features VCI bag eliminates the need for oil coating which reduces prep time Requires less brake pad break-in time and aids in proper bedding E-Shield protective coating is applied to non-braking surfaces for premium protection OE-specific vane design provides effective braking power and heat dissipation while controlling noise, vibration and harshness Tech Tips If you feel a vibration or pulsation in your brake pedal, vehicle or steering wheel, it’s time to have the rotors inspected to determine if they need to be replaced. Increased braking distances and grooves/scores in the rotor decrease braking power and are another telltale sign of failing rotors. If the warning signs are ignored, the rotor can become so damaged and can compromises your braking system. A road test is the best way to check your rotors. Accelerate to 30mph and safely apply the brakes firmly while coming to a complete stop. Look for a pulsation or vibration in the vehicle or on the brake pedal or steering wheel which can indicate that the rotors have a thickness variation problem. If no vibration is felt, drive to a remote area and increase your speed to 60mph and apply the brakes firmly as you did in the 30mph test. If a vibration or pulsation is felt in the brake pedal, there may be a problem with the rotor or caliper. When replacing the rotors, Wagner recommends changing the brake pads and hardware to maintain optimal braking power as changing both will provide even braking. If you install new rotors but keep the old brake pads, those pads will only grab the new rotors where the pads aren’t worn down. Don’t compromise your vehicle’s braking power – change the brake pads when replacing the rotors. A quick cleaning of the Wagner E-Shield rotor should be done before installing. Wagner E-Shield rotors arrive in a VCI bag, uncoated with any oils. A warm soapy rinse, with or without a scrub brush, is all that is required to ensure the rotor is free of particles, any hand oils and ready to install. Wagner doesn’t recommend the use of brake cleaners.
