Which Centric rotors / Pads did you go with? Did you get them for a 200? I need new rotors and pads and am drawn to centric preferred due to price point (half of OEM) but I’m also leery because of the very same reason (half price) and this being such a heavy truck. I’m shopping Brakes for a 2013 LX.
I recently replaced the rear rotors on my truck, along with pads. I used Centric rotors. On the first test-drive, the truck had some pretty horrible scratching and grinding noise.
At first I thought it was the parking brake. Applying the parking brake even changed the noise slightly. However, long story short, the noise was coming from the inside of the rotor rubbing on the dust shield. Specifically, it was outside lip of the rotor part where the parking brake shoes touch the rotor. The new rotors were a hair deeper than the rotors I took off.
I fixed it with a couple whacks with a hammer to bend the dust shield away from the rotor by a hair.
