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 full protective coating to resist rust and corrosion, extending rotor life in harsh environments. The high carbon content enhances thermal conductivity and wear resistance, making these rotors suitable for commercial and heavy-duty applications such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter vans. This product line balances durability with consistent braking performance.

Technical Specifications and Features

This vented disc brake rotor features a smooth, fully coated braking surface and a coated hat to prevent corrosion. The rotor’s overall height measures 68.4 mm (2.693 inches), with a center hole diameter of 85.0 mm (3.346 inches) and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 130.2 mm (5.126 inches). It includes six stud/lug holes with a diameter of 15.3 mm (0.602 inches). The pillar vane style promotes efficient heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The floating disc mounting design helps maintain proper rotor alignment and reduces noise and vibration.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Dodge Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD models
• Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD models
• Volkswagen Crafter Van
