Detailed Product Description

This Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor 320.44135F is designed specifically for Toyota Prius models, providing a precise fit and reliable braking performance. The rotor features a fully coated disc and hat finish that helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. Its vented design with straight vanes enhances airflow to dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The smooth surface finish ensures consistent brake pad contact, contributing to stable stopping power and reduced noise.

The rotor's dimensions include a nominal thickness of 0.862 inches (21.9 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.787 inches (20 mm), which are critical for maintaining safe braking performance. The outside diameter measures 10.039 inches (255 mm), and the overall height is 1.941 inches (49.3 mm). This rotor mounts using a floating disc system with five lug holes sized at 0.571 inches (14.5 mm) on a 3.937 inch (100 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring compatibility with the Toyota Prius hub assembly.

About the Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating Line

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating product line focuses on providing rotors with comprehensive corrosion resistance through full coating on both the disc and hat surfaces. This coating technology is designed to protect the rotor from environmental elements, which is especially beneficial for vehicles like the Toyota Prius that may be exposed to varying weather conditions. The full coating helps maintain rotor integrity and appearance over time without compromising braking performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Toyota Prius models
• Addressing brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Reducing corrosion-related rotor damage in humid or salty environments
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during extended braking
• Ensuring consistent braking performance with a smooth rotor surface

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below discard thickness of 0.787 inches (20 mm)
• Ensure proper cleaning of hub surface to prevent rotor runout
• Use correct torque specifications for lug nuts on the 5-lug, 3.937 inch bolt circle
• Check compatibility with ABS sensors as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to optimize rotor performance
