Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake rotor features a vented design with straight vanes that promote effective heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The smooth surface finish ensures even pad contact and wear. With a nominal thickness of 0.787 inches (20 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.709 inches (18 mm), this rotor meets strict specifications for safe operation. The floating disc mounting style allows for slight movement to accommodate thermal expansion and improve rotor longevity. The rotor’s dimensions, including a 10.039 inch (255 mm) outside diameter and a 2.165 inch (55 mm) center hole diameter, are tailored for the Scion iQ’s brake system. The four stud/lug holes with a 3.937 inch (100 mm) bolt circle diameter ensure secure installation.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Scion iQ vehicles
• Resolves brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Addresses reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Improves heat management in braking systems prone to overheating
• Suitable for restoring original braking performance after rotor damage

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor dimensions and bolt pattern compatibility with your Scion iQ before installation
• Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of contaminants prior to mounting
