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

The wide slots on these EBC GD Sport rotors help to clear out dirt, dust, and debris from the braking surface. This action helps to reduce brake fade and keeps the brakes running cooler, especially during demanding use.

Are these rotors made in the USA?

EBC states that many of their rotors, including a majority of designs specific to the USA, are British-made in their own UK foundry. When rotors are sourced from elsewhere to complete ranges, they are still specified, sampled, and tested rigorously in-house for quality.

What brake pads are recommended for these rotors?

These EBC GD Sport rear rotors are designed to be used with FMSI pad number D1095. It's always a good idea to check the compatibility of your chosen brake pads with the specific rotor model.

About this part

Product Details

EBC is known for making a wide range of brake parts, and these GD Sport slotted rotors are a solid option for your 2008-2011 Saab 9-3. They're built from OE spec grey cast iron, the same material used in new car production, and many of EBC's rotors are made right in their own UK foundry. These rear rotors are vented and feature a 292mm diameter, designed specifically for your Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo with XWD.

The 'GD' in the name refers to the 'Ground Display' series, which means these rotors have wide slots. These slots are important because they help clear out dirt, dust, and debris from the braking surface, which can help reduce brake fade, especially under load or at higher speeds. This design also helps the brakes run cooler, which is beneficial for everyday driving and even for towing or sedan use where the brakes might work a bit harder. The rotors are anodized for protection, with a black finish for domestic applications and gold for imports, though your Saab will receive the gold treatment.

These are a direct fit for the rear of your Saab 9-3 and are designed to work with FMSI pad number D1095. You'll get a set of two vented rotors, each with 5 bolt holes, a 44mm height, 20mm thickness, and a 70mm center hole diameter.
