Construction & Design

The EBC GD Sport rotors are constructed from high-quality cast iron, ensuring strength and durability under demanding conditions. The wide aperture slots are machined precisely to maximize surface area for heat dissipation, while the dimple drilling process is carefully implemented to prevent stress cracks and enhance overall rotor integrity. The black Thermic coating is applied through a high-temperature process, providing a corrosion-resistant surface that maintains its appearance over time. These design features collectively contribute to a rotor that not only performs well but also maintains a clean, aggressive look in your wheel wells.
