Detailed Product Description

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating (part number 320.65138F) are engineered specifically for heavy-duty Ford trucks such as the F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty. These rotors feature a fully coated disc and hat finish that helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life in harsh environments. The vented rotor design includes 67 straight vanes, which enhance airflow and heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under heavy loads.

With a nominal thickness of 1.496 inches and a discard thickness of 1.433 inches, these rotors maintain structural integrity and performance throughout their lifespan. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight movement to accommodate thermal expansion, improving braking consistency. The smooth surface finish ensures even pad contact and wear, while the eight lug holes with precise diameters provide secure mounting compatibility.
