Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Centric GCX Elemental Protection rotor features a fully coated disc finish and coated hat finish to resist rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. The high carbon content in the rotor material enhances thermal conductivity and reduces the risk of brake judder and noise. The vented rotor design with curved vanes improves airflow, helping to dissipate heat more effectively during braking. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight movement between the rotor and hub, which helps maintain proper alignment and reduces stress on the braking components.

With a smooth surface type and solid construction, this rotor is designed to provide consistent braking performance. The rotor measures 14.173 inches in outside diameter and 2.701 inches in overall height, fitting precisely on Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg models. It includes five lug holes with a 0.610 inch diameter and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 5.118 inches, ensuring compatibility with the specified vehicles.

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 performance. This product line utilizes a full coating process on both the disc and hat, combined with high carbon content material, to provide rotors that maintain structural integrity and braking efficiency over time. The 320.33142H rotor is a part of this line, offering these benefits specifically for Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg applications.

Common Applications and Problem Solving
