This part cross-references Wagner Brake BD125257E for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pulsation caused by worn or out-of-spec front rotors
• Rust buildup on the rotor hat and non-friction surfaces
• Uneven braking feel from rotor wear or heat cycling
• Noise related to rotor surface condition
• Service replacement needs on Honda Accord and Acura CL front brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, center bore, bolt pattern, and thickness before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly so the coated hat seats flat and the rotor runs true. Always inspect pads, calipers, and wheel bearings during brake service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications during reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Centric Premium Disc Brake Rotors are built with an electrocoating finish designed to provide long-term corrosion protection. The finish is engineered to withstand extended salt-water exposure, helping the rotor maintain its appearance and serviceability after installation.
