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

The wide slots on these EBC GD7049 rotors are designed to help clear out dirt, dust, and debris from the braking surface. This helps keep the pads in better contact with the rotor, which can reduce brake fade and improve stopping performance, especially under heavy use.

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 do occasionally source rotors from approved overseas facilities to complete their range, they emphasize rigorous testing for all rotors sold, regardless of origin.

What else might I need to install these rear rotors?

When replacing your rear brake rotors, it's a good time to inspect and potentially replace your brake pads, as they are designed to work together. You may also want to have brake cleaner on hand to clean the new rotor surface before installation, and consider new hardware if your old hardware is worn or corroded.

About this part

Product Details

Starting with the wide slots, these EBC GD7049 rear rotors are built to help your brakes run cooler. The slots are designed to help clear out dirt, dust, and debris from the braking surface, which can reduce brake fade, especially when you're carrying a load or driving at higher speeds. They're a solid option for your Explorer, Sport Trac, or Mercury Mountaineer, whether you're towing or just want improved performance for daily driving.

These rotors are made from OE spec grey cast iron, a well-built material that's commonly used in new car production. EBC manufactures many of their rotors in their own UK foundry, ensuring a high level of control over the casting process. Even rotors they source from other approved facilities are rigorously tested for material composition, tensile strength, hardness, and ductility, and checked for runout to ensure they meet EBC's standards. This attention to detail means you're getting a rotor that fits right and performs consistently.

This set is for the rear of your vehicle and is designed for use with FMSI pad number D666. They are solid rotors with 5 bolt holes, measuring 285mm in diameter and 58mm in height, with a 12mm thickness and a 71.4mm center hole diameter.
