Solid Rotors - Centric Premium

[Daeric23]

Hello,

I’m about to do a brake job and I’m looking to land some solid rotors (not drilled or slotted). I don’t do track so I don’t see the point, even tho they look cooler lol.

Is anyone rocking centric premium rotors? The one thing I’m kinda confused on is why the rears are high carbon and the fronts are not. Any reason why? Is this normal?

Part # 125.50041 (Rear 340mm) high carbon
Part # 120.50042 (Front 350mm)

Thanks

This is an old post but I'm wondering the same thing. Any updates here? Did you end up going with the Centrics?

I actually ended up going with EBC solid rotors - RK7794 & 95. I think it’s a good comparable to the OEM and I don’t street race. Just spirited driving. Also got EBC red pads and like em a lot. I haven’t chance to really get on them cause the official break in is 2k miles and I’m at 1.5k. I’d recommend them

Appreciate the info!

Centric is generally trustworthy. They make a whole bunch of stuff white-label for other companies and their QA is typically good. Better than true no-name parts, cheaper than performance parts.

Figured I would ask Centric support just out of curiosity but it wasn't much help. Their response was:
"Like I have said - our engineering has said they offer like OE, and that is why some are high carbon and others not. Sounds like the OE had a high carbon rear rotor option."

Centrics are good. But they don't have the same venting around the hub as the OEM rotors.

The Brembos are a bit different, but it depends on how you drive I suppose. In the end stopping

in a manner that is safe is all that matters.
