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 comprehensive protective coating that covers both the braking surface and the rotor hat. This full coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life and maintaining optimal braking performance. The 320.61062F rotor is part of this line, offering a vented design with straight vanes to enhance cooling and reduce brake fade in vehicles such as the Ford Thunderbird and Jaguar XJ8.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake rotor features a vented design with straight vanes that promote efficient airflow and heat dissipation during braking. The rotor's smooth surface finish ensures consistent pad contact and braking performance. With a nominal thickness of 0.787 inches (20.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.728 inches (18.500 mm), this rotor meets precise specifications for safe and effective use. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight movement to reduce stress and improve rotor longevity. The rotor's overall height is 1.287 inches (32.700 mm), and it has an outside diameter of 11.339 inches (288.000 mm), making it compatible with specific Ford, Jaguar, and Lincoln models.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

• Ford Thunderbird
• Jaguar S-Type, XJ8, XJR
• Lincoln LS, Vanden Plas

This rotor is designed to address common braking issues such as:

• Brake rotor corrosion and rust buildup
• Brake fade due to overheating
• Uneven rotor wear causing vibration
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or damaged rotors
• Noise and rough braking caused by surface imperfections

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Centric 320.61062F rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of contaminants before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness specification to maintain safety. Use proper torque specifications on the five lug studs to avoid warping. This rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle's braking system. The floating disc mounting requires careful alignment to prevent uneven wear.
