What is the main benefit of slotted brake rotors like the EBC USR series?

Slotted rotors help improve brake performance and longevity. The slots help to clear dust and gas away from the pad surface, allowing for better contact and reducing brake fade, especially at higher speeds. They also help keep brake pads running smooth and flat.

Are these rotors noisy due to the slots?

The EBC USR series rotors feature narrow slots specifically designed to reduce air noise. This means you get the performance benefits of slotted rotors without the excessive noise that can sometimes accompany them.

What other parts are needed to install these rotors?

These rotors are designed to be a direct replacement for your original front rotors. You will also need a matching set of brake pads (FMSI Pad No. D924 is recommended for this rotor) and potentially new brake hardware or caliper pins if your old ones are worn.

Product Details

EBC Brakes is well-known for their wide range of brake components, and their USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors are a solid option for drivers looking to improve their braking. These rotors are designed for vehicles like your 2002-2006 Kia Optima, offering a step up from standard equipment.

The USR rotors feature narrow slots that are specifically designed to reduce air noise, making for a quieter driving experience. These slots also help to keep your brake pads running smooth and flat, which can lead to improved brake performance and longer pad life, especially when paired with a suitable high-friction pad. Because they help brakes run cooler, you'll notice less brake fade at higher speeds. They are precision machined in the UK from high-quality grey iron, undergoing rigorous testing to ensure they meet exacting standards.

If you're looking to enhance the braking capabilities of your premium sedan, these slotted rotors are a great choice. They are a vented, front rotor designed for FMSI Pad No. D924, with a 280mm diameter and a 26mm thickness.
