Benefits

The GD rotors feature wider slots and blind drilled dimples that help to prevent cracking while also clearing away dirt and debris from the braking area. This design enhances cooling, reducing the chances of brake fade during intense driving, ensuring you can stop safely and effectively.

Thanks to the Thermic Black finish, these rotors not only look great but also resist corrosion, providing long-lasting durability. The black coating will wear off in the pad swept area within the first few stops, ensuring optimal braking performance without the need for removal prior to installation.

Fitment Information

These rotors are specifically designed for the front of the BMW 525i models from 2006 to 2007. Please remember that if you upgrade the pads, it’s best to do the same for the rear to maintain consistent braking performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Do I need to remove the Thermic Black coating before installation?

No, the Thermic Black coating does not need to be removed. It will wear off naturally in the pad swept area after a few stops.

2. Can I use brake cleaner on the rotors?

It's not advisable to use brake cleaner or any other method to remove the Thermic Black coating, as this is not covered under EBC's warranty.

3. What if I want to upgrade my brake pads?

When upgrading pads, ensure that the same upgrade is fitted to the rear of the vehicle for balanced performance.
