Product Line Details: Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line focuses on providing rotors with a complete protective coating on both the disc and hat surfaces. This full coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending rotor life and maintaining braking efficiency. The vented design with straight vanes enhances cooling, which is critical for maintaining performance during repeated braking events. This product line is suitable for drivers seeking durable, OEM-quality replacement rotors for their Mitsubishi Mirage.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 0.669 inches (17.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.606 inches (15.400 mm), ensuring it meets safety and performance standards. The rotor’s overall height is 1.654 inches (42.000 mm), with a center hole diameter of 2.524 inches (64.100 mm). It includes 4 stud/lug holes with a diameter of 0.496 inches (12.600 mm) and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 3.937 inches (100.000 mm). The rotor is vented with 40 straight vanes to optimize heat dissipation and reduce brake fade. The smooth surface finish and floating disc mounting contribute to consistent braking feel and reduced noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing corrosion and rust buildup on original equipment rotors
• Improving heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restoring braking performance on Mitsubishi Mirage models with 4 lug wheels
• Ensuring proper rotor thickness for safe braking operation

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor 320.46079F, ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard limit of 0.606 inches (15.400 mm). Clean the hub surface before mounting to prevent runout. Use proper torque specifications for the 4 lug nuts and verify the rotor is seated correctly on the hub. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, reuse existing components if applicable. The floating disc mounting design requires careful alignment to maintain optimal rotor performance.
