Plus the minimal dust you see is very easily removed with a simple sponge wash as it contains no steel fibre particles as in ALL OTHER pads. Second they brake like an alligator right from cold (as good as Original pads or better) and just get better as they heat up. This material is a Kevlar® fibre based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles. If you have previously tried EBC redstuff (pre-ceramic compound) this material is light years ahead.
It lasts longer, it brakes better and is quieter. Being a hard wearing pad, bed-in times can be as long as 1000 miles and drivers must be patient until the pad takes up the shape of their disc (brake rotor). This is a truly impressive fast road pad for repeated heavy braking. It emits far less dust than semi-metallic pads and has been proven to stop a passenger car/sedan/sport compact/hot hatch 13 metres quicker than OEM pads from 100mph/160kph.
EBC Brakes GD Rotors are made from high quality grey iron to exacting standards and undergo extensive testing and rigorous quality control and are then precision machined to your chosen slot or dimple pattern. The Discs come coated in either the colour Gold or Black, but this will come off with pad use to reveal the original iron cast underneath. The dimple drilled rotor was invented by EBC back in the 90's and has been imitated by many because of its ability to offer pad degassing without "Through Drilling" disc or rotor holes which has been shown to promote rotor cracks.
The wide aperture slots on the EBC units actually draw cool air under the brake pad and rotor interface and help cool the temperatures of the pad contact which can shoot up to well over 1000 degrees at the very heart of the brake pad during heavy braking and can cause brake fade or loss of brake effect. These "Full sweep" slots on the EBC Sport Brake rotor also help remove dirt dust debris and water from the braking area but without doubt the main benefit of such sport rotors is their ability to maintain a flat and parallel pad surface throughout the lifetime of the brake pad set. EBC manufacture 90% of its rotor range in ISO and TUV approved facilities in the UK or in Italy, all rotors including GD Sport Rotors are machined and finished in the UK and in the USA. Where castings or finished rotors have been bought in to complement the range, the strictest quality controls you can imagine ensure the safety and quality of the parts we sell.
EBC adds value to its products by strictest quality controls and specifications and a 100% run out and dimensional check.

There may be on occasions more than one compatible part for your vehicle. We will do our best to answer as fast as possible. Be aware that your Model of Vehicle may have a choice of 2 / 3 different REAR DISCS AND PADS Options. Such variations can apply due to upgrade designs on later chassis numbers, or the manufacturers using different OEM suppliers during production process. We will do our best to assist and narrow down the variations.
In some cases you may have to physically check your current fitted REAR DISCS AND PADS to the picture diagram and part number provided. Please see the item detail page for confirmation.
