Metrix Premium Chassis Parts 11.94 in Front Vented Rotor - Smooth

In this review the Metrix Premium Chassis Parts 11.94 in 2 PC front coated vented brake rotor is evaluated for drivers who need a direct-fit replacement for mid-2000s compact SUVs. The single biggest reason to buy is reliability: these rotors are factory mill-balanced and ECE R 90 certified, which addresses common concerns about vibration and safety. For owners of compatible Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner models looking to restore braking performance without guessing fitment, this rotor kit offers a straightforward, quality-focused option.

Key Features

• Vehicle compatibility: Fits a range of 2005-2012 Ford Escape, 2005-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner applications so buyers can be confident in fit for listed models.
• Balanced construction: Factory mill-balanced rotors ensure equal mass distribution, delivering smoother stops and reducing pedal pulsation during braking.
• Certified quality: ECE R 90 certification and multiple ISO certifications indicate the rotors meet recognized standards for performance and manufacturing consistency.
• Coated finish: The protective coating helps resist rust and maintain a clean appearance over time, improving corrosion resistance compared with plain rotors.
• Kit contents: Supplied as a pair (2x front brake rotors 680272FZN), so both sides are replaced together for balanced braking and convenience.

Who It's For

The Metrix rotor is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on 2005-2012 Ford Escape, 2005-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner models who want a reliable OE-matched replacement that reduces vibration and offers corrosion protection. It is also suitable for drivers seeking a cost-effective upgrade from worn or rusted factory rotors while retaining factory braking feel.

Drivers needing sport or track-specific rotors, specialized coatings, or sizes outside the listed 11.94 in diameter should look elsewhere, since this kit is intended as a direct-fit replacement for the specified models and not a performance racing part.
