Why Choose EBC BSD Rotors?

The BSD rotors are engineered with a unique V-slot design that enhances heat dispersion.

Fitment

This rotor is designed specifically for the front of the Acura TL models from 2004 to 2008. Please note that if you decide to upgrade the front pads, it’s best to do the same for the rear to maintain balanced braking performance.

Installation Notes

The Thermic Black coating doesn't require removal before installation. Just a heads-up: the coating will wear off in the pad swept area after a few stops, so don’t worry if it looks a bit different after installation. Avoid using brake cleaners or other methods to remove it, as this will void your warranty.
