• Fully coated disc and hat finish for enhanced corrosion protection
• High carbon content for improved heat dissipation and durability
• Vented rotor design with pillar-style vanes for efficient cooling
• Floating disc mounting with one miscellaneous hole for precise fitment
• Compatible with Audi A6 Quattro models requiring 5 lug holes and 13.661 inch outside diameter

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.177 inches (29.9 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.102 inches (28.0 mm), ensuring optimal rotor life and safety margins. The rotor's outside diameter measures 13.661 inches (347 mm), with an overall height of 2.343 inches (59.5 mm). It includes a center hole diameter of 2.677 inches (68 mm) and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.433 inches (112.6 mm), designed to fit securely on the Audi A6 Quattro hub assembly. The rotor weighs approximately 25.35 lbs (11.52 kgs), balancing strength and weight for effective braking performance.

The smooth surface finish and fully coated disc and hat surfaces help resist rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. The vented design with pillar-style vanes promotes airflow to dissipate heat during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight movement to accommodate thermal expansion and improve rotor longevity.

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Product Line

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating, High Carbon Content line focuses on delivering rotors with enhanced corrosion resistance and thermal management. This product line utilizes a full coating process on both the disc and hat surfaces to protect against rust, while the high carbon content material improves heat dissipation and rotor durability. The 320.33100H rotor exemplifies these features, making it suitable for vehicles like the Audi A6 Quattro that demand reliable braking under various driving conditions.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Audi A6 Quattro models
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake fade during extended or heavy braking
• Prevents premature rotor corrosion in humid or salty environments
• Restores braking performance compromised by rotor thickness below discard limits

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.102 inches) before installation
• Verify compatibility with Audi A6 Quattro 5-lug wheel hubs and mounting bolt pattern
• Clean hub surface and mounting area to prevent rotor runout
• Torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor distortion
• Check brake pads for wear and replace if necessary during rotor installation
