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

The progressively angled slots on these EBC Ultimax rotors are designed to pull in cool air, which helps keep your brakes cooler during operation. This improved cooling can lead to more consistent performance and reduce brake fade. The slots also help clear dust and debris from the pad surface.

Do these rotors come as a pair, and what else might I need for installation?

Yes, this kit includes a pair of front brake rotors. For installation, you will typically need new brake pads (these are designed for FMSI pad number D983), brake cleaner, and potentially new brake hardware or clips depending on your vehicle's condition. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details.

Are these rotors noisy compared to standard slotted rotors?

EBC designed the Ultimax Slotted Rotors to offer the performance benefits of slotted discs without the excessive air noise often associated with them. The specific slotting pattern aims for quieter operation while still providing the cooling and cleaning advantages.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to replace the front brake rotors on your 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG, EBC's Ultimax Slotted Rotors offer a solid upgrade. These aren't just standard replacements; they're designed to help your braking system perform better, especially under demanding conditions. The key feature here is the unique slotting pattern, which is engineered to pull in cooler air to help manage heat buildup. This means your brakes can work more effectively for longer periods, reducing the risk of fade.

Beyond cooling, the progressively angled slots on these EBC rotors play a crucial role in clearing away brake dust and debris. This constant cleaning action helps maintain maximum grip between your brake pads and the rotor surface. It also contributes to increasing the longevity of your brake pads, meaning you might get more miles out of them before needing a replacement. The rotors themselves are vented, which further aids in heat dissipation, and they are precisely machined to a 360mm diameter with a 36mm thickness, ensuring they fit right onto your CL55 AMG.

This kit includes a pair of front rotors, ready to be installed. They are designed to work with FMSI pad number D983, so make sure you have the correct pads to pair with these premium rotors. With their thoughtful design, these EBC Ultimax rotors aim to provide quiet operation while still delivering the performance benefits of slotted discs.
