Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating (part number 320.34098F) are engineered to meet the specific braking requirements of BMW X5 and X6 vehicles. These rotors feature a vented design with straight vanes that facilitate efficient heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The fully coated disc and hat surfaces provide a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, extending rotor life and maintaining consistent braking performance.

With a nominal thickness of 30.000 mm and a discard thickness of 28.400 mm, these rotors ensure safe and reliable operation within manufacturer specifications. The rotor's outside diameter measures 332.000 mm (13.071 inches), and the overall height is 62.300 mm (2.453 inches), matching OEM dimensions for proper fitment. The floating disc mounting design allows for slight movement to reduce stress and improve braking smoothness.

About the Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating Line

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating product line focuses on providing rotors with comprehensive corrosion resistance through advanced coating technology. This full coating process covers both the braking surface hat and disc, helping to prevent rust buildup and maintain rotor integrity over time. This line is particularly suited for vehicles like the BMW X5 and X6 that may be exposed to harsh weather or road conditions.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on BMW X5 and X6
• Addresses brake noise caused by surface corrosion
• Improves braking consistency by reducing heat-related fade
• Prevents premature rotor rust and degradation
• Restores proper rotor thickness and surface smoothness

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor mounting surface and hub are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify that the rotor thickness is within the discard limits specified (minimum 28.400 mm) to maintain safe braking performance. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts on the 120 mm bolt circle diameter. Since this rotor does not include bearings or ABS tone rings, reuse existing components if applicable. Check for proper rotor alignment and clearance during installation.
