Detailed Product Description

This Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor 320.45063F is specifically designed for Mazda 6 vehicles, providing a direct replacement that meets OEM specifications. The rotor features a fully coated surface on both the disc and hat, which helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. The vented design with straight vanes enhances airflow, allowing for better heat dissipation during braking, which reduces the risk of brake fade. With a smooth surface finish, this rotor ensures even pad wear and consistent braking performance.

The rotor's dimensions include an overall height of 1.921 inches (48.800 mm), a center hole diameter of 2.823 inches (71.700 mm), and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm). It features five stud/lug holes with a diameter of 0.509 inches (12.930 mm), making it compatible with the Mazda 6's wheel hub assembly. The floating disc mounting design allows for slight movement to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, improving rotor durability.
