Product Line Details

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line focuses on providing rotors with a complete protective coating to combat rust and corrosion. This product line is designed for vehicles requiring durable, vented rotors with a smooth braking surface and coated hats to maintain structural integrity and appearance over time. The full coating helps maintain rotor performance in harsh environments, making it suitable for a variety of vehicle applications.

Technical Description and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with straight vanes that facilitate efficient heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The smooth surface finish ensures consistent pad contact and braking performance. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 1.437 inches (36.5 mm), with a discard thickness of 1.320 inches (33.53 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary. The rotor mounts behind the hub with 10 bolt holes arranged on a 7.252-inch (184.2 mm) bolt circle diameter. The hat is coated and shaped to accommodate an ABS tone ring, although the tone ring itself is not included. Overall dimensions and weight are optimized for compatibility with specific vehicle models requiring these specifications.

Compatible Vehicle Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Upgrading corroded rotors to fully coated versions for improved longevity
• Addressing rotor thickness below discard limits to restore safe braking
• Suitable for vehicles requiring vented rotors with 10 mounting bolts and specific diameter dimensions
• Ideal for applications needing rotors compatible with ABS systems (tone ring tapped)

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets nominal specifications. The rotor mounts behind the hub using 10 bolts on a 7.252-inch bolt circle diameter. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid warping. Since the ABS tone ring is not included, verify the existing tone ring condition or source separately if needed. Clean the rotor surface before installation to remove any protective coatings or residues that may affect braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Centric rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The full coating process provides corrosion resistance to extend rotor life. While specific warranty details are not provided here, Centric typically offers limited warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship.
