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

The wide slots on these EBC GD Sport rotors are designed to help clear out dirt, dust, and debris from the braking surface. This also helps the rotors run cooler, which can reduce brake fade during hard braking or when the vehicle is under load.

Are these rotors made by EBC in their own facility?

EBC manufactures a significant portion of their rotors in their own UK foundry, using OE spec grey cast iron. For designs specific to overseas markets, like many in the USA, they are also often British-made. When EBC sources rotors from approved external suppliers, they are rigorously tested for material quality and dimensional accuracy.

What is the difference between the black and gold anodized finishes?

The anodized finish on these rotors provides protection against corrosion. The black finish is typically used for domestic applications, while the gold finish is often seen on imported vehicles, though both offer the same protective benefits.

About this part

Product Details

These EBC 3GD Series Sport rotors are built from OE spec grey cast iron, the same material used on new cars right off the assembly line. They feature wide slots designed to help clear out dirt, dust, and debris from the braking surface, which also helps the brakes run cooler, especially under load or at speed. This can make a notable difference for sedans, trucks, SUVs, and any vehicle used for towing.

EBC makes a majority of their rotors in their own UK foundry, ensuring a high level of control over the manufacturing process. When they do source rotors from outside suppliers to complete their range, they rigorously test them for material composition, tensile strength, hardness, and ductility, and check each one for runout. The GD728 rotors are solid, measuring 266mm in diameter with a 10mm thickness, and have 5 bolt holes. They are anodized for protection, with a black finish for domestic applications and gold for imports.
