What is the main benefit of the slotted design on these EBC rotors?

The progressively angled slots on these EBC Ultimax rotors help to pull in cooler air for improved brake cooling. They also help clear dust and debris from the rotor surface, which maintains pad grip and can increase pad longevity.

Are these rotors noisy like other slotted rotors?

EBC designed these Ultimax slotted rotors to offer the performance benefits of slots without the excessive air noise commonly associated with them. The progressive angle of the slots contributes to quieter operation.

What type of brake pads are recommended for these rotors?

These EBC rotors are designed for use with FMSI pad number D917. It's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal performance and compatibility.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the front brake rotors on your 1998-2009 Porsche 911 (996), these EBC Ultimax slotted rotors are a solid option. They're designed to give you the benefits of slotted rotors without the common air noise, making for a more comfortable driving experience. The progressive angle of the slots is key here; they help pull in cooler air to keep your braking system performing at its best, especially during spirited driving or repeated stops. This improved cooling helps prevent brake fade and keeps your pads working more effectively.

Beyond cooling, these slots also play an important role in keeping your braking surfaces clean. They help to sweep away dust and debris that can build up on the rotor face. This not only helps maintain maximum pad grip but also contributes to longer pad life. These are vented rotors, meaning they have internal passages to help dissipate heat, and they fit directly onto the cast iron rotor setup for your 3.6 Carrera 4S. The rotor diameter is 330mm.
