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 full protective coating on both the disc and hat surfaces. This coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial for vehicles exposed to harsh weather conditions or road salts. The rotors feature a vented design with straight vanes to aid in heat dissipation, maintaining braking efficiency and rotor longevity.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is engineered with a vented design that includes straight vanes to optimize airflow and cooling during braking. The fully coated disc and hat finish protect against corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. The rotor has a nominal thickness of 0.945 inches (24.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm), ensuring safe replacement intervals. The outside diameter measures 10.945 inches (278.000 mm), and the rotor features a floating disc mounting system for improved performance. It includes five lug holes with a diameter of 0.543 inches (13.800 mm) and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.252 inches (108.000 mm). The smooth surface finish supports consistent brake pad contact and wear.
