Centric Parts Premium rotors are identical in dimensions and internal vane design to the factory originals.  During assembly, rotors are straddle cut for the most accurate machining, then double disc ground for optimum parallelism, minimal runout, and near zero thickness variation.  A non-directional finish is applied for better initial pad bedding.  All surfaces, including the hat, are machined and non-swept surfaces are electrostatically coated with a durable, black finish (unless noted otherwise below) for corrosion protection and good looks.  Finally, all rotors are computer mill balanced to incredibly tight tolerances.  You won't find a better replacement rotor anywhere.  Click here for more details. 

New!  Centric Parts High Carbon rotors contain an advanced metallurgy that reduces pad squeal. The proprietary Molybdenum and Chromium alloy resist rotor cracking during heavy track use or repeat-stop situations and increases the friction level, improving brake performance and stopping power. Increased Chromium and Carbon content is also more resistant to surface oxidation.  For some applications, directional internal cooling vanes are used for improved cooling over the straight-vane factory rotors.

Power Slot slotted rotors are available for all applications, offering the advantages of Centric High Carbon rotors, with the addition of slotting for higher bite and friction.

StopTech SportStop rotors are available for many applications, offering the advantages of Centric Premium rotors, with the addition of slotting and/or drilling for higher bite and friction.

How to choose between them?  Slotted rotors provide additional bite and maintain consistent friction level over the life of your pads.  These are ideal for aggressive street and even road racing applications.  Slotted and drilled rotors offer even more bite and stunning looks, but should be used on the street and not for racing.  If you want slotted or slotted and drilled rotors and there is no pricing listed below, send an inquiry to orders@zeckhausen.com and we can let you know if they are available.  Or check our on-line store, which has many more vehicle listings:  STORE

Make sure you install your rotors properly.  See: How to Properly Install Plain, Slotted or Drilled Rotors

(Centric Parts is the parent company of Power Slot and StopTech .  Power Slot and StopTech rotors start as Centric blanks and are machined in the USA by Centric Parts on computer-controlled milling machines.)

To obtain information about any rotor, click on the part number (if a link is present) for details, including rotor drawings, replacement thickness, critical dimensions, and weight.  The term "floating" does not mean two-piece, floating rotor.  It is Centric's terminology for a rotor that can be removed without also removing the vehicle's wheel bearings or hubs.

High-Performance Brake Pads for Stock Calipers

Centric Posi Quiet Extended Wear pads offer a stable friction level across a wide temperature range. Low dust, long pad & rotor life, low noise, w/OE designed shims to reduce pad vibration and squeal.  Not a track pad.

F-$49

R-$43

63-106-0614

63-106-0628

Centric Posi Quiet Semi-Metallic pads offer a high friction level across a wide temperature range. Very low dust, low noise w/OE designed composite shims to reduce pad vibration and squeal.  Easy on rotors.  Better performance than typical low-dust pads.  Give up the dust without giving up the performance.

Front only.

F-$44

63-104-0614

Porterfield R4-S High Performance Street and Autocross pads are designed for heavy-duty street driving, with better fade resistance and lower dust than stock pads. Rotor friendly, low noise, good for autocross, rally, and light to medium duty track use in low to medium horsepower cars.

F-$79

R-$89

AP614-R4S

AP628-R4S

Hawk HPS high performance street pads have low dust, low noise, and low rotor wear.  Slightly higher in friction level than Hawk Ceramic pads with a similar MOT of around 750 degrees F.  Not recommended for track use, as their friction level falls off rapidly when the MOT is exceeded.

Front only.

F-$81

63-410-0614

Hawk HP SuperDuty pads are designed for heavy-duty trucks, large SUVs and pickups. They utilize a blend of organic, carbon fiber, and ceramic materials to perform well in severe applications, including towing.  Trades off slightly increased dust level for higher friction and fade resistance.

Front only.

F-$105

63-460-0614

Hawk DTC-70 is the most serious member of the "Dynamic Torque Control" race pad family, with an average level of friction among the highest available and an incredibly linear pressure to torque relationship. The result gives the driver an unparalleled ability to modulate brake torque at the limit of tire adhesion, while keeping pedal effort low.  Relatively low rotor and pad wear for such an aggressive pad.

Front only.

Replacement Brake Pads for Mov'it Equipped Impala SS

From early 1998 to 2002, Mov'it of Germany sold a big brake kit for the Impala SS, based on Porsche 993 Turbo front and rear calipers.  Front rotors are 322mm x 32mm from the 993 Turbo and rear rotors are 328mm x 28mm Brembos. (The factory Porsche rear rotors did not clear the Impala's parking brake.) 

If your Impala is equipped with a Mov'it system, it's likely that you will need replacement pads soon.  Zeckhausen Racing now carries street pads to fit the Mov'it front and rear system.

Hawk HPS high performance street pads have low dust, low noise, and low rotor wear.  Slightly higher in friction level than Hawk Ceramic pads with a similar MOT of around 750 degrees F.  Not recommended for track use, as their friction level falls off rapidly when the MOT is exceeded.

Performance, All-Season, and Winter Tires

Besides brakes, tires are the most important component in determining stopping distance.  It's literally where the rubber meets the road.  Selecting the right tire for your driving conditions can make a tremendous difference.  For example, if you live in Florida or southern California and are driving on all-season tires, you are leaving huge performance gains on the table!  A good set of summer-only performance tires can literally transform the handling and braking capabilities of your car.  In fact, if your goal is to minimize stopping distance, you're better off going to Tire Rack's web site and buying tires first, before spending any money here on better brakes!

For the best selection and prices, we recommend Tire Rack.  From Maximum Performance tires to All Season tires to Snow Tires, Tire Rack has it all.  Tire Rack also offers wheel and tire packages and can even tell you which wheels will clear your StopTech big brake upgrade.  Click the Tire Rack icon below for your best deal on wheels and tires. 

For wheel fitment information for cars equipped with StopTech or other big brake kits, contact Luke Pavlick at (888)541-1777 x362.
