Centric Premium 120.40046 Automotive Replacement Front Brake Rotor Fits Select Acura, Honda

This review covers all parts - same review on each item.Centric 120.40046 (Front) ASIN: B000BZZPCCCentric 120.40068 (Rear) ASIN: B000IY4BIKBosch BC787 (Front) ASIN: B008HZOED4Centric 105.1336 (Rear) ASIN: B001KNYPR02 Honda Acura Disc Brake Screws ASIN: B00AEG15T0I recently did a full rotor / brake pad replacement job on my 2009 Acura TSX with the 5 speed automatic transmission.The Centric Brake rotors are a perfect fit for this car. It looks great and is very well machined. I rotors were nicely packaged in individually shrink wrapped boxes. Once you take them out, a bit of brake degreaser on the rotors and wiping off the residue got them ready to go. The baked on black enamel paint looks great. The rotors didnt need any adjustments and tolerances are fine!The Centric Brakepad was installed in the rear, they came with all the hardware and it stops pretty good. No squeals, the fit was easy. Hardly any dust that comes off them.The Bosch Brakepad was installed in the front, the go to favorite is Akebono, but Bosch is an OEM manufacturer and since most of the braking power is up front, I went with Bosch over Centric for the front brakes (in retrospect, the centric fronts are probably as good - going by the rear brake pads). The pads are quiet and initially the bite was not great (felt spongy) but after a few hard stops and breakin of the brake pads in the canyons, they settled in fine.Centric parts have come a long way from when they first came on the market. I remember centric making cheap blanks but people would complain about them. They seem to have gotten their act together making quality OE replacement parts. I'd buy them again in a heart beat.I'd highly suggest getting the honda acura disc brake screws (4 to a pack) - that would cover your front wheels. The screws can be re-used, but in my case since I bought them I didnt bother to try be careful removing the disc assembly screws.Note: Before buying parts on amazon check out places like rock auto to get the right part numbers. Amazon's catalog sometimes gets it wrong.

This brand was recommended by a seasoned mechanic on a YouTube video. I can see why. The finishing on the rotors is stellar. I changed all four rotors on my 2008 Honda Pilot with Brembo pads, and the stopping power is top notch. I bedded the new pads as per Brembo's website instructions.

2010 Honda Accord. What a nice rotor, I usually buy from autozone/advance/etc. I found these on amazon read reviews and purchased them. They are painted on the hat or center part and inside the cooling veins, I hope it works I am tired of rusty rotors. They went on easy after I broke the retention bolts loose from the old rotors, went right on now problem, pads were akebono again no problem, just a normal break job, for this car you have to take the caliper holder/mount off to get the rotors off but it's only two bolts, so it's a 4 bolt job, easy peazy. Please note they centric have different rotors for for the V6 and I4, so get the correct ones. Reason for replacement is that they were warped (almost since new), I have been driving them warped for 4 years, yep I am a patient man, I finally couldn't take it anymore and bought them, I've been looking at brakes for this thing for years and it appears to me the Centric rotor and Akebono pads were the top choices so I purchased them, what a difference I don't cringe when I hit the brakes now.

Rotors are Great. I reduced 1 star because this product (Model no: 120.40046) does NOT fit the 2009 Honda Accord LX-P trim even though Amazon's "select a vehicle" says it fits. This is what I have found out - Model 120.40046 only fits EX and EX-L and Model 120.40036 only fits LX and LX-P trims. The reason is, Model 120.40046 (EX, EX-L) has a thickness of 26mm whereas Model 120.40036 (LX, LX-P) has a thickness of 21mm.I let Amazon know of this problem (compatibility issue) and returned the rotors. I promptly escalated it to a Supervisor (hopefully they fix the "select a vehicle" and "it fits" portion of the product page).Man, that was very painful because I took the wheels off of my car and also the rotors, calipers and pads only to find out that this part does NOT fit my car. Had to scramble around town to find the right part!!!!

I purchased these rotors to replace my front, factory OEM rotors on my 2005 Acura TL. I think my OEM rotors would probably be good, but the car was 11 years old at this point with 130,000 miles. So, as inexpensive as new rotors are in the grand scheme of things, it was a good time to replace them since I was switching out my brakes. They arrived promptly from Amazon. The finish was very nice and painted black as shown in the photo. The exception was the interface between the brake pad and rotor.A couple of notes....- Screws: The rotors do not come with any mounting screws. At least on Honda's, there are two, small phillips screws that hold the rotor on. In my case, the bolts were completely seized over, and I had to drill them out. Fortunately, I had stopped by the Honda dealership and had replacements available. So, just keep that in mind if you own a Honda/Acura that is a bit older. Chances are, the bolts may be bad at this point.- Rust: I removed the first rotor from the package and cleaned it down with brake cleaner and a cotton cloth to remove factory oils. Then, I left it out to dry on my driveway. A quick summer sprinkle came through, and got my rotor a bit wet in terms of drops that were allowed to dry. I was busy drilling out the factory screws mentioned above on my old rotors. Sure enough, a little bit of rust appeared on the rotor. It was a bit of orange rust on the rotor that I had already cleaned up with brake cleaner. I don't fault the product nor consider this a defect. But, some readers may be absolutely Type-A about rust on their rotors so just a heads up...

Too early to detect any deficiencies, otherwise disc looked great, coating seemed good
