Detailed Product Description

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating (part number 320.40080F) are engineered to meet the braking demands of Acura ILX and RDX models. Featuring a fully coated disc surface and coated hat, these rotors resist rust and corrosion, extending rotor life and maintaining consistent braking performance. The vented rotor design with straight vanes enhances airflow, helping to dissipate heat effectively during braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains optimal stopping power under various driving conditions.

With a nominal thickness of 0.984 inches and a discard thickness of 0.906 inches, these rotors provide a balance between durability and performance. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight movement to reduce stress and improve rotor longevity. The rotor’s outside diameter measures 12.276 inches, and it features a 5-lug hole pattern with a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on compatible Acura models.
