Product Line Details: C-TEK Standard Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors

The C-TEK Standard Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors by Centric are designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for performance and durability. Featuring a cross-drilled surface, these rotors help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve rotor life and braking consistency. The vented design with curved vanes enhances airflow to maintain optimal operating temperatures, making them suitable for daily driving and moderate performance demands.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented construction with curved vanes that promote efficient heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The cross-drilled surface improves water and gas evacuation from the rotor surface, enhancing braking response in wet or demanding conditions. The rotor measures 13.78 inches (350 mm) in outside diameter with a nominal thickness of 1.256 inches (31.9 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.181 inches (30 mm), ensuring proper wear limits are maintained. The overall height is 2.543 inches (64.6 mm), and it mounts using a floating disc system with a 5-lug hole pattern on a 4.409 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter. The center hole diameter is 2.638 inches (67 mm), and the rotor weighs approximately 28.2 lbs (12.82 kgs).

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Mercedes-Benz CL550, CL600, S350, S400, S450, S550, S600, and SL550
• Addresses brake fade caused by excessive heat buildup
• Improves braking performance in wet conditions through cross-drilled design
• Restores proper rotor thickness and surface integrity for consistent stopping power
• Reduces vibration and noise associated with damaged or uneven rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor discard thickness of 1.181 inches (30 mm) is not exceeded before installation
• Verify compatibility with vehicle lug pattern: 5 lug holes on 4.409 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal rotor performance
• Clean rotor surface before installation to remove any protective coatings or debris
