What is the main benefit of the dimpled and slotted design?

The dimples and slots work together to help clear away brake dust, dirt, and gases from the rotor surface. This keeps the pads in better contact with the rotor, which can reduce brake fade and improve stopping consistency, especially during hard braking or at higher speeds.

Are these rotors made in the USA?

EBC manufactures many of their rotors in their own UK foundry using OE spec grey cast iron. While they occasionally source rotors from approved overseas suppliers to complete their range, they emphasize their British manufacturing for a majority of their designs.

What brake pads are recommended for these rotors?

These EBC 3GD Series sport rotors are designed to work with FMSI pad number D1728. It's always a good idea to pair performance rotors with quality brake pads that match your driving needs.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your Mazda 3's braking system, these EBC 3GD Series sport rotors are a solid option. They're designed for the front of your 2014-2019 Mazda 3 and are made from OE spec grey cast iron, the same material used in new car production. EBC manufactures many of these rotors in their own UK foundry, ensuring a well-built product.

The dimpled and slotted design on these rotors does more than just look good. The slots help to sweep away dust, dirt, and gas from the braking surface, which helps reduce brake fade, especially under load or at higher speeds. This makes them a great choice for daily driving, but also capable if you do some towing or drive your sedan more spiritedly. The rotors are anodized gold for protection, a nice touch for import vehicles like your Mazda.

These are vented rotors with a 295mm diameter and a 25mm thickness, designed to fit with FMSI pad number D1728. They're a direct replacement for your stock front rotors, making installation straightforward.
