TL;DR Aluminum/zinc coated vented front rotor, 282mm, for the 2016-2021 Civic's base brake package. No disclosed iron grade, Bosch is not an OE supplier for Honda, so this reads as solid but unremarkable.
The 53011452 is a vented, aluminum/zinc coated cast-iron front rotor sized at 282mm for the 2016-2021 Civic's base brake package (LX, EX, Sport, Touring). Bosch publishes no iron grade or runout tolerance for this part, and is not Honda's OE brake supplier (Nissin, Akebono, and Brembo hold that role), so metallurgy and machining precision stay unconfirmed. The OEM-style vane design suits daily driving; owners broadly report quiet, pulsation-free service over tens of thousands of miles, alongside one out-of-box warp report on an older Civic part number. It ships factory balanced with an ABS tone ring.
Right pick for an LX, EX, Sport, or Touring owner wanting a standard rotor without OE-supplier provenance. Skip for a Civic Si or Type R, those use a larger rotor. Skip too if you need a documented iron grade or runout tolerance, neither is disclosed here.
No chemical exposure pathway, an inert cast-iron part with no SDS. Brake service stirs up dust: wear a dust mask and never blow it out with compressed air, that belongs to the brake system, not this rotor. It recycles as ferrous scrap through most parts stores.
It fits the base brake package used by the LX, EX, Sport, and Touring trims, which share the same 282mm front rotor across this generation. The Civic Si and Type R use a physically larger front rotor and are a different part entirely. The listing itself notes that trim level and engine can affect fitment, so confirm your exact trim before ordering.
No. Honda's brake components come from Nissin, Akebono, and Brembo. Bosch QuietCast is an aftermarket replacement line built to fit the OE brake package, not a part sourced from Honda's own supplier chain.
Bosch discloses an aluminum/zinc coating on the non-friction surfaces. Owners report it holding up well against surface rust in most conditions, with an occasional report of rust appearing sooner in a harsh, salty climate. It is a standard single-layer coating class, not a premium multi-layer or geomet coating.
No. This listing is the front rotor only, sold as a single unit. Pads, hardware, and a rear rotor are separate purchases.
Vented. Bosch describes an OEM-style vane configuration for heat dissipation, matching the standard Civic front brake package, which uses a vented rotor.
The Amazon listing for Bosch 53011452 QuietCast Premium Front Brake Rotor carries a California Prop 65 warning. California requires this warning on a very wide range of manufactured goods — including rubber, vinyl, plastic, and metal automotive parts — whenever trace exposure to any of roughly 900 listed substances (commonly phthalates or heavy metals) is possible, regardless of whether the specific product poses a meaningful health risk. As a passive accessory, Bosch 53011452 QuietCast Premium Front Brake Rotor has no Safety Data Sheet, so there's no chemistry breakdown to translate beyond that.
