The rotor features a solid, smooth surface type that provides consistent contact with brake pads. Its fully coated disc and hat finish protect against rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life in various driving conditions. The floating disc mounting design allows for better thermal expansion management, reducing the risk of warping under heavy braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an outside diameter of 10.417 inches and a nominal thickness of 0.354 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for Mazda 3 brake systems. The discard thickness of 0.276 inches indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor includes five lug holes with a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, matching the Mazda 3 wheel hub configuration. Weighing approximately 8.1 lbs (3.68 kgs), it balances durability with manageable weight for efficient braking response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
