Part #: GD813
Overview
The EBC GD Sport Front Rotors are designed to enhance your vehicle's braking performance while adding a sleek, aggressive look to your Ford Contour SVT. Crafted with performance and durability in mind, these rotors are ideal for daily drivers who want reliable stopping power combined with improved cooling and aesthetic appeal. Whether you're commuting, running errands, or enjoying spirited driving, these rotors help support consistent braking performance and help prevent brake fade during demanding driving conditions.
Manufactured in the U.K., the GD Sport rotors feature advanced design elements that improve heat dissipation and reduce stress on the braking system. Their wide aperture slots facilitate better airflow, helping to lower operating temperatures and maintain optimal brake pad contact. The result is a more responsive brake pedal feel and enhanced braking confidence, especially during prolonged or aggressive driving.
Key Features
The EBC GD Sport rotors incorporate several innovative features to deliver superior performance and durability:
- Wide aperture slots for increased cooling efficiency, reducing brake temperatures and preventing brake fade during spirited driving or heavy use.
- Dimples drilled into the rotor surface help to avoid stress cracks that can develop from thermal expansion and contraction, extending the lifespan of the rotors.
- Thermic black finish provides a sleek, modern look while offering corrosion resistance, protecting the rotors from road salts and environmental elements.
- Manufactured in the U.K. using high-quality materials to ensure consistent quality, strength, and performance.
- Designed specifically for the Ford Contour 2.5 SVT from 1998 to 1999, ensuring a perfect fit and straightforward installation.
- Black e-coating enhances appearance and provides an additional layer of corrosion protection, maintaining the rotors' aesthetic appeal over time.
- Ideal for drivers seeking a combination of style, cooling efficiency, and reliable braking performance for everyday use and occasional spirited driving.
Construction & Design
The EBC GD Sport rotors are engineered with precision to meet the demands of performance-oriented driving. Their construction features a high-quality cast iron core with a thermic black finish that resists corrosion and maintains a clean appearance. The wide aperture slots are machined to exact specifications, ensuring uniformity and optimal airflow. The dimple drilling pattern is carefully designed to prevent stress cracks, a common issue with high-performance rotors subjected to thermal cycling.
The combination of slot design and dimple drilling not only improves heat dissipation but also helps to expel brake dust and gases, maintaining cleaner pad contact and consistent braking feel. The rotors are balanced and tested to meet strict quality standards, ensuring vibration-free operation and long service life.
Installation & Fitment
The EBC GD Sport Front Rotors are a direct bolt-on replacement for the original equipment on your Ford Contour SVT from 1998 to 1999.
