Performance Benefits

The EBC GD rotors are engineered with wider slots and blind-drilled dimples, which help prevent cracking and enhance the overall performance of your braking system. The wide aperture slots allow for improved cooling, effectively reducing temperatures and preventing brake fade during intense driving conditions.

With a sleek Thermic Black finish, these rotors not only look great but also resist corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability. The special coating does not need to be removed before installation, and it will wear away in the pad swept area after just a few stops, making setup a breeze.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance, do not upgrade the rear pads unless the same upgrades are installed on the front. The Thermic Black coating is designed to stay intact during installation, and using brake cleaner or other methods to remove it is not recommended and will void your warranty.
