What is the main benefit of the slots on these EBC rotors?

The wide slots on these EBC 3GD Series rotors are designed to help clear away brake dust, dirt, and hot gases from the rotor surface. This helps keep the braking zone clean and allows the brakes to run cooler, which can reduce brake fade during heavy use.

Are these rotors made in the USA?

EBC manufactures many of their rotors in their own UK foundry using OE spec grey cast iron. While some designs for overseas markets may be sourced from approved suppliers, EBC emphasizes their British manufacturing for a majority of their rotor range.

What type of brake pads are recommended for these rotors?

These EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors are designed for use with FMSI pad number D700. It's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal performance and compatibility.

About this part

Product Details

You're looking at a set of EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors for the front of your 2002 or 2003 Hyundai Sonata. These aren't just plain rotors; they're designed with wide slots that help clear out dirt, dust, and gas from the braking surface. This means your brakes can work more effectively, especially when you're putting them to the test, like during towing or just spirited driving. They're made from OE spec grey cast iron, the same material used on new cars, and are built in the UK. The gold anodized finish on these rotors is specifically for import vehicles like yours, offering protection and a clean look.

The slotting pattern on these rotors does more than just look good. It helps to vent hot gases and debris away from the pad surface, which can reduce brake fade under heavy use and at higher speeds. This makes them a solid option if you're looking for improved braking performance over stock, whether you're hauling a load or just want more confidence on the road. They are vented rotors with a 257mm diameter and are designed to fit with FMSI pad number D700.
