Detailed Product Description

This Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor (part number 320.65158F) is engineered specifically for the Ford Transit Connect. Featuring a fully coated disc and hat finish, it helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. The vented rotor design with 220 OEM vane count and pillar-style vanes enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor's floating disc mounting style allows for slight movement to accommodate thermal expansion and improve braking consistency.

With a nominal thickness of 0.980 inches and a discard thickness of 0.906 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for thickness and wear limits. The 12.590-inch outside diameter and 1.920-inch overall height ensure proper fitment and compatibility with the Ford Transit Connect braking system. The smooth surface finish provides a consistent contact area for brake pads, contributing to stable braking performance.
