EBC 05-09 Ford Escape 2.3 Hybrid GD Sport Rear Rotors

The EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors are built from OE spec grey cast iron, the same material used on new car production lines. These rear rotors are designed for the 2005-2009 Ford Escape 2.3 Hybrid, offering an improved braking experience over stock. The wide slots cut into the rotor surface are key here; they help to sweep away dirt, dust, and debris from the braking zone, which in turn helps to reduce brake fade, especially under load or at higher speeds. This makes them a solid option for SUVs, towing, or even spirited sedan use.

These rotors are anodized for protection, with a black finish for domestic vehicles like your Escape. The anodizing not only looks good but also helps protect the rotor surface from corrosion. EBC manufactures many of their rotors in their own UK foundry, ensuring a high level of control over the casting process. When they do source rotors from elsewhere to complete their range, they rigorously test them for material composition, tensile strength, hardness, and ductility, and each rotor is checked for runout to ensure it meets their standards.
