Product Line Details: Centric GCX Elemental Protection

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line focuses on providing rotors with a full protective coating to resist rust and corrosion. This coating extends the rotor's service life and maintains a clean appearance, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt. The full coating covers both the disc surface and the hat, offering comprehensive protection compared to standard rotors.

Technical Specifications and Features

This rotor features a vented design with 54 OEM-style vanes to enhance airflow and heat dissipation during braking. The nominal thickness is 0.984 inches (25.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.000 mm), ensuring safe replacement intervals. The rotor's outside diameter measures 12.283 inches (312.000 mm), and it has an overall height of 1.862 inches (47.300 mm). The floating disc mounting style helps accommodate thermal expansion and reduces stress on the rotor. The hat ID is 6.008 inches (152.600 mm), and the mounting bolt hole circle diameter is 4.496 inches (114.200 mm) with 5 lug holes sized at 0.496 inches (12.600 mm).

• Acura Integra
• Honda Accord
• Honda Civic
• Honda CR-V
• Honda HR-V

This rotor is designed to replace original equipment parts on these models, providing a direct fit and maintaining factory braking performance.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor corrosion and rust buildup
• Uneven rotor wear causing brake pulsation
• Overheating due to insufficient heat dissipation
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or warped rotors
• Noise and vibration during braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it is above the discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.000 mm). Clean the hub surface to prevent runout and ensure proper rotor seating. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts to avoid warping. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s existing components.
