USR Slotted Rotors

Choose from EBC plain non drilled rotors or sport rotors in two choices – wide aperture 3GD series for cooler running or new super silent Ultimax USR slotted series. All EBC rotors are British made and are precision machined in the UK. Rotors are made from high quality grey iron to exacting standards and undergo extensive testing and rigorous quality control. Slotted rotors can significantly improve brake performance and longevity when used with a matching high friction pad set. Having sold hundreds of thousands of brake kits EBC Brakes feel confident their approach is as perfect as it gets.

We are of the opinion that slotted rotors have been “Over sold” by certain marketplace participants and our findings are that a slotted rotor will only give benefits if used with a pad that compensates for its reduced surface area.

The benefits of degassing and promoting flat and smooth pad wear are a clear plus in favour of sport rotors but the trick is to opt for a matched set of brakes and not to just expect a slotted rotor to improve braking on its own. . When used with higher friction EBC Redstuff, Greenstuff or Yellowstuff brake pads these rotors will deliver better brakes.

The different slot pattern of the EBC USR Series has made this range a popular choice for drivers who desire improved sport braking with minimal air noise from the slots. The finer slot pattern is what makes these sport rotors more silent in operation whilst still offering pad degassing and removing dirt dust water and debris from the braking area.

Ultra quiet sport slotted brake rotors

Manufactured using premium disc blanks mentioned above, the narrower multi slot design of the Ultimax sport rotor and the progressive angle at which the slots are machined creates a quiet running sport rotor that still has benefits of removing gas, dirt, water and debris and maintaining parallel pad wear.

EBC have always been honest enough to say that the biggest advantage of slotted rotors is the fact that they promote flat and parallel pad wear rather than allowing ridges to develop on pads and rotors which is typical of “drilled only” sport rotors. By preventing these ridges brakes stay more consistent throughout pad and rotor wear life (simple physics!).

I have Citroen Berlingo Multispace, been back to the dealers twice about poor brakes & been told they are OK but I was still not too happy. Swapped the front discs for USR’S & fitted Ultimax pads, wow, what a difference, I am now much more confident with the brakes. Also just put some of your shoes on the rear of the car, OMG, I cannot believe the difference. Instead of feeling that the car is slowing down under hard braking I am now held in on my seat-belt. “Thank you” for wonderfull products, the cost was nominal but the difference is staggering. I just wish I had made the changes earlier.

I wanted to tell you that I absolutely love the pads and rotors! Incredible. The product is so good that I will be purchasing EBC’s for my parents. They are getting older and the stopping power with your pads are incredible. Thank you my friend for everything!

Well I just wrote a review for the Redstuff pads that I purchased along with these rotors and I must say I AM VERY IMPRESSED! The quality of these rotors are far superior than anything else out there! My suggestion to all prospective customers is Purchase The Pads along with these rotors. IT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! Great job guys, I am an EBC customer forever!!! my parents are getting older and next on my list is upgrading thier vehicles rakes to EBC. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!

After “fighting” with the dealer on the chatter in my brakes from the beginning when hot, I felt they wouldn’t honor the warranty, I upgraded to EBC dimpled/slotted rotors and EBC dustless pads. The chatter was gone and the braking is much better. Even my wife has commented on the improvement in braking in her ’06 Cheverlot HHR. I liked the improvement in braking so much, I replaced the brakes on my ’07 Ford Ranger with EBC dimpled/slotted rotors and EBC dustless pads. Again, the improvement in braking is very noticeable. Thanks for a great product. A much needed improvement over factory brakes!

Dixque et plaquettes EBC, vraiment un bon freinage, le seul petit défaut mais on s’habitue , c’est qu’au freinage il a toujours une genre de grondement, j’ai fait vérifier par mon mecano mais tout est correct.
