Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating (part number 320.51018F) feature a nominal thickness of 1.102 inches (28.0 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.039 inches (26.4 mm), ensuring long service life before replacement is necessary. The rotor has an outside diameter of 11.929 inches (303 mm) and an overall height of 1.854 inches (47.1 mm). This vented rotor uses straight vane style to optimize airflow and cooling during braking. The disc and hat are fully coated to resist rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial in harsh weather conditions. The rotor includes two miscellaneous holes and a floating disc mounting design to maintain proper alignment and reduce brake judder. It is designed with five stud/lug holes, each 0.492 inches (12.5 mm) in diameter, and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm). The center hole diameter measures 2.705 inches (68.7 mm). The rotor weighs approximately 19.5 lbs (8.86 kgs), balancing durability and performance.

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors Product Line

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line focuses on providing rotors with enhanced corrosion resistance through a full coating process. This product line is engineered to extend rotor life and maintain braking efficiency by protecting critical surfaces from rust and environmental damage. The full coating on both the disc and hat surfaces helps maintain the rotor’s structural integrity and appearance over time, making it a practical choice for Hyundai and Kia vehicles that require dependable braking components.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Hyundai Amanti, Azera, and Kia XG350
• Addresses rotor corrosion and rust issues in humid or salty environments
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Eliminates brake judder caused by rotor misalignment or uneven wear
• Restores smooth braking performance with a solid, smooth surface finish

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.039 inches (26.4 mm) before installation. The floating disc mounting requires proper alignment to avoid brake noise or vibration. Verify the 5-lug bolt pattern and mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm) match the vehicle specifications. No ABS tone ring or bearings are included, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s braking system. Clean the hub surface before mounting the rotor to ensure a secure fit.
