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

The angled slots on these EBC Ultimax rotors help to pull in cooler air, which keeps your brakes from overheating during use. They also help to clear away brake dust and debris, which maintains better pad grip and can extend the life of your brake pads.

Are these rotors noisy like other slotted rotors?

EBC specifically designed the progressively angled slots on the Ultimax rotors to minimize the air noise that is commonly associated with slotted rotors. You get the performance benefits without the excessive noise.

What else might I need to install these front rotors?

When replacing your brake rotors, it's highly recommended to also replace your brake pads. Ensure you have the correct FMSI pad number D1061 for compatibility. You may also need brake cleaner and appropriate tools for the job.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to replace the front brake rotors on your 2004-2007 BMW 525i, this set from EBC is a solid option. You get a pair of Ultimax OE-style vented rotors designed specifically for your car. These aren't just plain replacement discs; they feature a unique slotted design that helps your braking system perform better, especially during harder stops.

The progressively angled slots on these EBC rotors do a couple of important things. First, they help pull in cooler air to keep your rotors and pads from getting too hot, which means more consistent braking performance. Second, the slots act like little squeegees, clearing away brake dust and road debris. This keeps the pad surface cleaner, which helps maintain maximum grip and can even extend the life of your brake pads. Plus, EBC engineered these slots to minimize the air noise often associated with slotted rotors, so you get the performance benefits without the extra sound.

This set includes the front rotors, which are a vented type with 5 bolt holes, measuring 310mm in diameter. They are designed to work with FMSI pad number D1061, so make sure you have the correct pads to go with them for optimal performance.
