Important Note:

Brakes are a safety critical part of a motor vehicle. Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.


Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.

Utilizing the same split core symmetric molding process used by Original Equipment manufacturers, Centric's High Carbon Plain 125 Series Rotors dissipate heat efficiently and provide better stopping power especially in repeat stopping situations. Containing an advanced metallurgy containing proprietary Molybdenum and Chromium alloys, the rotors resist cracking during high performance use or repeat stop situations. The alloys also greatly reduce the pad squeal associated with higher friction, European-style brake pad compounds and increases the friction couple to improve brake performance and stopping power.

The Centric High Carbon Plain 125 Series Rotor features a double disc ground finish that virtually eliminates run out and any disc thickness variation (DTV) issues. The non-directional, double disc ground finish also provides improved rotor and pad break-in while a directional vane design improves airflow and cooling. Rotors are mill-balanced, as well, to ensure smooth operation regardless of speed.

Features

  • Premium black E-coating finish to combat corrosion on the rotor hat and between the cooling vanes
  • Center split castings for increased strength and stability
  • Superior cooling fin designs
  • Double disc ground finish
  • 100% fully machined finish including rotor hats
  • 100% inspected and mill-balanced for smooth operation regardless of speed
  • Lateral run out held to 0.002" or less
  • Meet or exceed rigidity quality specifications, including cooling vane designs

A center split casting increases strength and stability, but to further promote longevity, the rotors feature Centric's exclusive black E-coating finish. Engineered to withstand 400 hours of salt spray testing without corroding, it is applied on all non-friction surfaces to prevent premature rusting.

E-Coating Advantages

  • Uniform coating thickness over all areas including sharp corners, recesses and areas that are hard to reach with spray painting
  • Nontoxic and water-based paint material
  • Approximately 95% utilization of paint with no overspray, drip or drain losses
  • Complete paint coverage — no touchup of paint ever required

    The stock rotors and pads on the rear brakes were still good. But once changed to new ones, I do sense greater stopping power. I left my front brakes unchanged. I don’t plan on hammering them. But have to say it looks good

    The High Carbon rotors didn’t last any longer than cheaper rotors. I had put these on expecting longer life but after 25k they had stress cracks worse than the previous rotors I had on the car. I did use a more aggressive pad but I wouldn’t buy these again for the price difference. I’m trying the Raybestos high Carbon this time.
