Centric rotors. Anyone have issues with them? Had one fail today.

lol I have ran these on many cars in past no issue and I'd order them again. Just never ran the high carbon. The failure rate is prob so damn low and could happen to any brand.

What is the deal with all of the scratches on the area that the rim is bolted to? Also the center hub area looks to be chewed up. ( not the actual rotor the black painted are).
It almost appears the rim wasn't bolted down correctly, and the rim/rotor was a little sloppy. If that was the case, I can see a side load on the rotor itself causing it to crack.

Yes I'd suspect the rotor to wheel was sloppy after it broke and had to drive home on it causing the face to get some
Marks in it.

I have used Centric rotors for years with no issue.
When my brakes wore out on my FiST I decided to go with them again and wish I would have paid for OEM as Centrics have warped around 9k miles in. I have heard the FiST is hard on brakes so maybe that is why, but my stocks never had any issue. I know I will be going with Motorcraft on my next brake job.

I created an account just to reply to this thread. I drive a Ford Focus ST with the RS Brembo front calipers installed and used the Centric high carbon rotors (both when it was the stock ST calipers and with the upgraded Brembo calipers). At my last track day at Blackhawk Farms I had a front rotor snap in the exact same place as yours. I was coming into turn 6 at 90 mph, hit the brakes, and BANG! Braking didn't happen and I skidded off track. Once I got back into the pits I found my rotor broke like yours, only mine got wedged inwards. This was a new rotor with about 120 minutes of track time on them. I've been trying to get in contact with Centric for the last few weeks with no luck. Just wanted to chime in and make this post in case anyone else ever has a similar issue.

looks like a similar issue with the high-carbon ones on the track, like OP mentioned. Really odd. I have not had issues with these, but I don't track the car.

The funny thing is this is my third set of Centric's high carbons that I've used on track. The first two sets wore through beautifully with no issues. But maybe those were holdouts from before First Brands (Centric's owner) did all their consolidating and operations moving back at the end of 2023. Or maybe it was just luck. Who knows.
