Product Line Details: Centric GCX Elemental Protection

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating, High Carbon Content line focuses on providing rotors with a fully coated surface and hat to resist rust and corrosion. The high carbon content enhances rotor strength and thermal stability, which helps maintain consistent braking performance under demanding conditions. This product line is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, making it suitable for vehicles requiring reliable and long-lasting brake components.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 27.9 mm (1.098 inches) and a discard thickness of 25.4 mm (1.000 inch), ensuring precise wear limits for safe operation. The rotor has an outside diameter of 300 mm (11.811 inches) and an overall height of 46.5 mm (1.831 inches). It is vented with pillar-style vanes to promote airflow and heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade. The smooth surface finish supports consistent pad contact, while the floating disc mounting system helps minimize noise and vibration during braking.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chrysler Crossfire
• Mercedes-Benz C230, C240, C280, C320, C350
• Mercedes-Benz CLK320, CLK350, CLK430
• Mercedes-Benz E300, E320, E420, E430
• Mercedes-Benz SLK280, SLK300, SLK320

This rotor is designed specifically for these models, ensuring proper fitment and performance when replacing worn or damaged rotors.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor corrosion and rust buildup
• Uneven rotor wear causing vibration or noise
• Brake fade due to insufficient heat dissipation
• Warped rotors leading to pulsation during braking
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or damaged rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 25.4 mm before installation. Clean the hub surface to prevent uneven mounting. Use proper torque specifications for the 5-lug, 112 mm bolt circle diameter mounting. Since bearings and ABS tone rings are not included, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s existing components. It is recommended to replace brake pads when installing new rotors to maintain optimal braking performance.
