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

The angled slots on these EBC Ultimax rotors serve two main purposes. They help pull in cool air to keep the brakes operating at a lower temperature, and they also sweep away dust and debris from the rotor surface for consistent pad contact.

Will these slotted rotors make a lot of noise?

EBC specifically designed these Ultimax slotted rotors to minimize the air noise often associated with slotted designs. The progressive angle of the slots helps reduce noise while still providing the cooling and cleaning benefits.

What brake pads are recommended for these rotors?

These EBC Ultimax rotors are designed to be used with brake pads that match FMSI pad number D1322. It's important to ensure you have compatible pads for proper fitment and performance.

Product Details

These EBC Ultimax rotors feature a vented, 320mm diameter design with 30mm thickness, specifically for the front of many Audi models. The progressively angled slots are a key design choice here. Unlike some slotted rotors that can create extra noise, these are engineered to pull in cool air for better brake operation without that distracting air sound. This improved airflow helps keep your brakes from overheating, especially during spirited driving or when carrying extra weight.

Beyond cooling, the angled slots also play a role in keeping your braking surfaces clean. They help to sweep away dust and debris that can build up on the rotor face. This action ensures consistent contact between the brake pad and the rotor, which can lead to better stopping power and can even help extend the life of your brake pads. These rotors are a well-built option for drivers looking for improved performance and longevity from their braking system.

This set is designed as a direct replacement for the front brakes on a range of Audi vehicles, including models like the A4, A5, and Q5 from the late 2000s and early 2010s. They are intended to work with FMSI pad number D1322, so make sure you have the correct pads to pair with them for optimal performance.
