The EBC RK Series Premium Front Rotors are high-quality OE replacement brake rotors designed for the 1971–1979 Volkswagen Beetle 1.3 1300. Crafted to match factory dimensions, these rotors are machined within extremely tight tolerances of less than 0.05 millimeters to ensure precise fitment and optimal performance. Made from durable gray iron, they meet or exceed original specifications for thermal management, brake noise reduction, vibration control, and wear resistance. The anodized layer provides corrosion protection, while the contact area with brake pads is designed to maintain consistent braking performance and longevity. These rotors are engineered to deliver reliable stopping power and smooth operation under various driving conditions.

Suitable for front installation on classic Beetles within the specified years, these rotors are sold in pairs for straightforward replacement. They are intended for street use, offering improved braking response and durability over worn or stock components. Installation is a direct bolt-on process, requiring no additional modifications. The kit includes the pair of rotors, ensuring a complete upgrade for your vehicle’s braking system. Compatible with the original brake calipers and hardware, these rotors are ideal for restoring factory performance or enhancing daily driving safety on vintage Volkswagen Beetles.

Overview

EBC RK Series Premium OE Replacement Plain Brake Rotors by EBC®. Sold In Pairs. This replacement brake rotor is sized and shaped to OE factory dimensions with the strictest quality controls and machined to be within extremely tight tolerances of less than 0.05 millimeters. High quality "gray" iron meets or exceeds factory original specifications regarding thermal buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear. The anodized layer is designed to disappear in the area that the brake pads contact the rotor.Features:

  • Sized and shaped to original equipment specifications with extremely tight tolerances
  • Designed to meet or reduce factory levels of heat buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear
  • Recommended by EBC for use with EBC Ultimax and Yellowstuff pads
  • Black GEOMET™ and NITROTHERM™ anti-corrosive finish
  • Recommended by EBC for normal street driving, high-performance street driving, truck or SUV use, drifting, and short track runs
  • High quality "gray" iron features a higher carbon content to reduce brake shudder, heat cracking, and high-frequency vibrations which cause squealing
  • EBC recommends a 500-mile break-in period with lighter braking application

Benefits:

  • Perfect for non-aggressive driving
  • Ensure quiet operation
  • Offers low dust and long pad life
  • More resistant to warping or cracking
Why pay dealership prices that are marked up 100% when you can purchase EBC high-quality Premium OE Replacement Rotors for less? Unlike cheaper, inferior replacement rotor that may look identical to original equipment, EBC builds these to match original factory dimensions and machines them to extremely tight tolerances. But they did not stop there. EBC has applied their engineering expertise to create an iron compound that exceeds the quality of most original material blends, so these rotor actually improve on factory levels of heat buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear. A higher percentage of carbon and silicone is present which leads to the formation of graphite during the curing process. When graphite is present, the rotor itself takes on qualities of a denser, softer material. Heat is more evenly dispersed to reduce warping, cracks are less likely, and vibration-related noise is greatly reduced. Premium OE Replacement Rotors is anodized for corrosion resistance, and rotor should be fully ready for performance driving after a 500-mile break-in period.
