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

The wide slots on the GD Sport rotors are designed to help clear out brake dust and debris from the pad surface. They also help to vent hot gases away from the braking zone, which can reduce brake fade under load and at speed.

Are these rotors made in the USA?

EBC states that many of their rotors are British-made in their own UK foundry, using OE spec grey cast iron. While they do source some parts from approved overseas suppliers to complete ranges, they emphasize their commitment to quality manufacturing.

What brake pads should I use with these rotors?

These EBC GD Sport front rotors are designed to work with FMSI pad number D1024. It's important to use compatible brake pads to ensure proper fitment and optimal braking performance.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to improve your Audi A8 Quattro's braking performance, especially under demanding conditions, these EBC GD Sport front rotors are a solid option. They're made from OE spec grey cast iron, the same material used in new car production, and many are manufactured in the UK. The wide slots cut into the rotor surface are designed to help dissipate heat and clear out dust and debris from the braking zone, which can help reduce brake fade and keep your pads making solid contact.

These rotors are vented, meaning they have internal vanes to help with airflow and cooling. The specific design of the slots on these GD Sport rotors is intended to help the brakes run cooler, which is beneficial for sedans like yours, especially if you do any towing or carry heavy loads. They also feature an anodized finish, gold for imports like your Audi, which offers protection against corrosion.

This set is designed as a direct replacement for the front of your vehicle. They are intended to work with FMSI pad number D1024, so make sure you have the correct pads to pair with these rotors for optimal performance.
