Product Line Details: Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line focuses on providing rotors with a full protective coating on both the disc surface and the hat. This coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life and maintaining consistent braking performance. The vented design with straight vanes enhances cooling efficiency, which is critical for maintaining rotor integrity under demanding driving conditions.

Technical Description and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with straight vanes to optimize airflow and heat dissipation during braking. The rotor has a nominal thickness of 0.827 inches (21.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.748 inches (19.000 mm), ensuring safe replacement intervals. The outside diameter measures 9.449 inches (240.000 mm), with an overall height of 1.772 inches (45.000 mm). The rotor is fully coated, including the hat, to resist corrosion and wear. It mounts using a floating disc system with four mounting bolt holes arranged on a 100 mm bolt circle diameter, compatible with vehicles requiring a 4-lug pattern with 0.504 inch (12.800 mm) stud hole diameter. The smooth surface finish supports consistent pad contact and braking performance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Honda Civic, Civic del Sol, and CRX
• Addresses rotor corrosion and rust issues with full coating protection
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restores braking performance affected by uneven rotor wear
• Compatible upgrade for maintaining OEM braking specifications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.748 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with ABS systems; this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
