Centric Premium Rear Brake Rotor Overview

The Centric Premium High Carbon Alloy Disc Brake Rotor, part number 125.33072, is built for rear brake service on select Audi and Volkswagen applications. It combines a high-carbon alloy casting with a coated hat finish and vented rotor design to support consistent braking performance and reduced noise in demanding street use.

Fits 2000-2004 Audi A6 Quattro, rear. Fits 2002-2004 Volkswagen Passat, rear. Fits 2002-2003 Audi S6, rear.

Key Features

• High carbon alloy metallurgy for improved resistance to cracking during repeated stops
• Helps reduce pad squeal with higher-friction European brake pad compounds
• Chromium and carbon content improves oxidation resistance
• Vented rotor design with straight vanes for heat management
• Coated hat finish for added corrosion resistance at the hub area
• 5-bolt pattern with 112 mm bolt circle and 68 mm center hole diameter
• Outside diameter: 269 mm; nominal thickness: 22 mm; discard thickness: 20 mm

Product Details

Centric’s 125 Series High Carbon Alloy Brake Rotors are engineered for drivers who want stable rear braking performance and OE-style fitment. The advanced alloy formulation is intended to improve friction characteristics, support smoother pad interaction, and resist thermal stress in stop-and-go driving or repeated braking events. For Audi A6 Quattro rear brake rotor replacement, Volkswagen Passat rear brake rotor service, or Audi S6 rear brake maintenance, part number 125.33072 provides a direct-fit solution with the correct dimensions and vented construction.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 980003 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Rotor Can Address

• Brake noise caused by rotor and pad interaction
• Heat-related rotor stress during repeated stops
• Corrosion at the hat area
• Reduced braking consistency from worn rear rotors
• Vibration or uneven braking feel from rotor wear beyond discard thickness

Installation Notes

Verify rotor thickness, center hole diameter, bolt pattern, and rear position before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly and inspect pads, caliper hardware, and wheel bearings for wear before fitting the new rotor. Always confirm the rotor meets the vehicle’s rear brake specifications for the Audi A6 Quattro, Volkswagen Passat, or Audi S6 application.

Quality Assurance

Centric Premium High Carbon Alloy Disc Brake Rotors are manufactured with advanced metallurgy and corrosion-resistant features to support dependable brake service. Part number 125.33072 is built to match the listed fitment and dimensional requirements for the confirmed rear applications.
