Centric GCX Elemental Protection Rotors are engineered to restore OE performance and provide superior protection from rust and corrosion, even in extreme conditions. They feature Centric’s advanced RS200 Coating on the non-friction mating surfaces, leaving the friction swept area clean which results in a 20 percent faster pad bed-in and eliminates pad fouling and corrosion rings. A full coating on all non-mating surfaces inhibits rust formation and helps provide long-lasting corrosion resistance.
Features & Benefits:
2 Coating Types (Partial or Fully Coated) to match OE friction type for a road ready rotor right out of the box with no additional prep needed
An advanced RS200 coating on non-friction mating surfaces leaves the friction swept area clean, resulting in 20% faster pad bed-in and eliminating pad fouling and corrosion rings
Double disc ground to eliminate DTV issues
OE-style vane designs and machined non-friction surfaces to restore OE looks and performance
Installation Tips
Always replace Brake Pads and inspect Calipers and Brake Hoses when installing new rotors
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
After removing the old rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
Apply Brake Lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
