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

The wide slots on these EBC rotors serve two main purposes. They help to pull air across the rotor surface, which dissipates heat and reduces brake fade. They also sweep away dirt, dust, and debris from the braking surface, ensuring consistent pad contact.

Are these rotors made in the USA?

EBC manufactures a significant portion of their rotors in their own UK foundry, ensuring strict quality control. While they do source some parts from approved overseas suppliers to complete their ranges, the focus is on British manufacturing for many designs.

What else might I need to install these rotors?

Typically, when replacing brake rotors, it's recommended to also replace your brake pads. You may also need new brake hardware clips and potentially brake fluid if you are flushing the system. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific requirements.

About this part

Product Details

The EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors are built from OE-spec grey cast iron, the same material used on new vehicles straight from the factory. These front rotors are specifically designed for your 1997-1999 Ford F-150 with the 4.2L engine, 2WD, and 4-wheel ABS system. The wide slots are a key feature, helping to pull air across the rotor surface to dissipate heat more effectively. This helps reduce brake fade, especially when you're carrying heavy loads or driving at higher speeds, making them a great choice for trucks, SUVs, and towing applications.

Beyond cooling, these slots also serve to sweep away dirt, dust, and road debris from the braking surface. This ensures consistent contact between the pad and rotor, leading to more reliable stopping power. The rotors are anodized black for protection, which also gives them a distinct look. EBC manufactures a significant portion of their rotors in their own UK foundry, ensuring strict quality control over materials and construction.

This set includes front rotors, designed as a vented, 308mm diameter disc with 5 bolt holes. They are intended for use with FMSI pad number D679. When installing, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper procedure and any required hardware.
