Although this will add weight, I was thinking that the benefit in cleaner wheels (Being able to use ceramic pads) is a good trade off....

Any thoughts out there?

I came up with one possibility from Advance Auto Parts.
Wearever Part Number YH141533 so I ordered one and have it in my possession to this day.

It appeared to be "Close" to our O.E. rotors but I as of the moment I have not gotten around to actually taking a rotor off of my car and measured or compared them to say yes or no as to compatibility.

This evening when I saw this topic, it renewed my interest.

I went into the Advance site and it appears this part number is no longer "Available" so I went to a cross reference chart for Bendix and found the number noted as "Obsolete".

I dug a little further and wound up on the Raybestos site where I found a cross over number of 7993R

With that information, I was able to come up with a few vehicles that this rear rotor is intended to fit.

Chrysler Daytona 1989-1993
Chrysler LeBaron 1989-1995
Dodge Daytona 1989-1993
Dodge Shadow 1994
Dodge Spirit 1991-1995
Plymouth Acclaim 1991-1995

The specifications for these applications are as follows:

Part Number: 7993R
Part Description: Disc Brake Rotor
Sub-Brand: Professional Grade
Grade Description: Better
Brake Rotor Diameter, Outer: 11.2500 in
Brake Rotor Thickness, Discard: 0.7970 in
Brake Rotor Thickness, Nominal: 0.8650 in
Coating: Bare
Height, Overall: 2.0300 in
Performance Level: Standard Performance
Packaged Weight:14.0000 lb
Wheel Bolt Circle Diameter: 100.0000 mm
Wheel Bolt Holes, Primary: 5 Each
Country of Origin: CN

I then went to the NAPA website and looked up a 1992 Chrysler Lebaron with the 3.0 V6 and "Vented Rear Rotors" (NOT the Solid Rotors). These are the numbers for it:

Napa Part Number NB 4885993 as of June 14 2017 $32.85 each.

1992 Chrysler Lebaron w/vented rotors

Vane Configuration Reduces Temperatures & Improves Performance.

The Non-Directional Finish On NAPA Premium Rotors Reduces Noise & Braking Roughness.

Type K - Rotor Only. Wheel Studs Are Pressed Into The Hub Only. The Rotor Is A Loose Fit On The Hub & Is Retained By Either Machine Screws Or The Wheel Nuts.

UNSPSC 25171715
# of Bolt Holes 5
Bolt Circle Diameter: 100 mm
Brake Rotor Diameter: 11.25 in.
Brake Rotor Discard Thickness: .8 in.
Brake Rotor Thickness New: .87 in.
Brake Rotor Type: Disc Brake Rotor Only-dih Parking Brake
Center Hole Diameter: 2.26 in.
Height: 2.03 in.
Maximum Lateral Runout: .004 in.
Mounting Type: Type K - Rotor Only. Wheel Studs Are Pressed Into The Hub Only.
The Rotor Is A Loose Fit On The Hub & Is Retained By Either Machine Screws Or The Wheel Nuts.
Vented / Solid: Vented

If someone out there has the time and or inclination to further research the accurateness of this research, please be kind enough to post the results as it may be a benefit to us all. I hope this is of some help.

NOTE: These photo's were downloaded from the Raybestos site. http://www.brakepartsinc.com/raybestos/en-us/catalog-part-search.html

Once the site comes up, type in the number 7993R and these photo's and specs and cross reference of applications should become available if desired.

I sure hope someone solves the computer problems in the near future and makes my spares worth a lot less, also.

There will always be members here that want to keep their Prowlers stock, So selling them , most likely won't be a problem. I am taking the cast ones off my car today & having them drilled & slotted for a better look and will continue to use the stock ones until one cracks or wears out. Just glad ALRTG was able to come up with a part number to try. Make sure when you order them to use the NAPA number only as the other number is for a rotor 1/4 inch larger in diameter. If anyone decides to not use NAPA, most likely any good auto parts store will be able to cross this number to a different brand. This same rotor is made by many different manufactors under different names

What a Team!!!!!!!

alrtg... This started with you and your amazing persistence on this topic (Beyond measure the info you shared)!!!

Phil... Thanks so much for all the effort in confirming the replacement!!!!

This is a HUGE WIN for EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Hence my little story to Rich.....

Hello Rich.. Guess who...
The prowler has specific rear rotors. they are still available to purchase about 400 a side.
not suppose to use ceramic pads.
The only person that has duplicated a rotor is Bill the Parts guy.
They are your every day steel rotor that can be turned if desired. You can use ceramic pads on these. (where as originals should not be turned)
These are cheaper about 240 each?
There are no other off the shelf rotors that fit the prowler as of yet.

I am glad that the information I gathered proved to be of some use to those of us out there that are in the market for an alternative rear rotor.

Having just returned from a week's vacation, this is great news. I had deliberately left the laptop home and since my 15 year old cell phone only makes and gets phone calls, I was "off the grid" as well.

FYI,

The Prowler turned 52K today on the way home from South Carolina.
