The full coating on both the disc and hat surfaces extends rotor life and maintains appearance under harsh driving conditions.

Technical Specifications and Features

This Centric disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.268 inches (32.2 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.209 inches (30.7 mm), ensuring precise wear limits for safe operation. The rotor has an outside diameter of 12.717 inches (323 mm) and an overall height of 2.051 inches (52.1 mm). It is a vented rotor with pillar-style vanes to optimize heat dissipation during braking. The rotor includes a floating disc mounting system and three miscellaneous holes for proper fitment. It is designed for vehicles with a 5-lug wheel pattern, 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, and stud/lug hole diameter of 0.563 inches (14.3 mm). The center hole diameter measures 2.783 inches (70.7 mm). The rotor surface is smooth and fully coated, while the hat is also coated to prevent corrosion.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Cadillac CTS (specific model years)
• Cadillac STS (specific model years)
• Pontiac Bonneville (specific model years)

This rotor is designed to replace worn or damaged disc brake rotors on these vehicles, restoring braking performance and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor corrosion and rust buildup
• Brake noise and vibration due to uneven rotor wear
• Reduced braking efficiency from warped or worn rotors
• Overheating caused by insufficient rotor cooling
• Premature rotor wear from low-quality materials

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor discard thickness of 1.209 inches (30.7 mm) is not exceeded before installation. Clean the hub surface thoroughly to prevent runout. Use proper torque specifications for the 5-lug mounting bolts on the 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter. This rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, so verify compatibility with your vehicle’s braking system. The floating disc mounting requires careful alignment during installation to maintain optimal rotor performance.
