Centric Parts introduces StopTech GCX disc brake rotors with elemental protection

Dec. 14, 2017
The new line of rotors is specially engineered to restore OE performance and provide superior protection from rust and corrosion, even in extremely harsh conditions.

Centric Parts, a division of APC Automotive Technologies, has introduced a new line of StopTech® GCX Disc Brake Rotors that is specially engineered to restore OE performance and provide superior protection from rust and corrosion, even in extremely harsh conditions.

These rotors feature a partial GEOMET® coating on the friction surface, resulting in a 10 percent faster pad bed-in while eliminating annoying corrosion rings. They also feature a full GEOMET coating on all non-mating surfaces, which inhibits rust formation and helps provide long-lasting corrosion resistance.

Centric Parts’ in-house engineering team has designed GCX rotors to match original equipment with fully machined non-friction surfaces improving rotor balance and eliminating vibrations. A double disc ground finish eliminates lateral run-out and DTV (disk thickness variation) issues on the rotor and improves pad-rotor bed-in.

StopTech GCX Disc Brake Rotors provide coverage for both import and domestic passenger vehicles and light trucks. The line offers over 475 SKUs and covers more than 80 percent of the vehicles on the road today.
