- Fully floating 2-piece rotor that allows outer ring to expand freely in response to heat. This reduces stress which in turn extends rotor life and reduces the tendency for rotor cracking during extreme use.
- Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance. Stainless bobbins reduce the requirement for regular disc maintenance and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely even when used on the public road with corrosive salts and other road grime.
- Each bobbin assembly features an anti-rattle spring clip ensuring silent operation when driving on the public highway
- Rotor rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved rotor coolin
- Friction rings are cast from high carbon G3500 alloy giving excellent wear properties and improved thermal capacity. All EBC disc rings are cast using the ‘centre split’ casting method, ensuring a balanced casting that will not distort under high heat, an issue common with cheaper ‘moulded out’ castings.
- Unique Swept Groove slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gasses whilst ensuring good initial ‘bite’ on brake apply
- Replacement disc rings for EBC floating rotors are significantly less expensive than our major competitors.
Brake Friction Material Legislation
California Brake Friction Material Legislation Key Dates (Copper Legislation)
| Regulation Timing | EBC Brakes Status |
|---|---|
| • January 1, 2014 – (a) On and after January 1, 2014, any motor vehicle brake friction materials containing any of the following constituents in an amount that exceeds the following concentrations shall not be sold in this state:(1) Cadmium and its compounds: 0.01 percent by weight. (2) Chromium (VI)-salts: 0.1 percent by weight. (3) Lead and its compounds: 0.1 percent by weight. (4) Mercury and its compounds: 0.1 percent by weight. (5) Asbestiform fibers: 0.1 percent by weight.(b) Motor vehicle manufacturers and distributors, wholesalers, or retailers of replacement brake friction materials may continue to offer for sale brake friction materials not certified as compliant with subdivision (a) solely for the purpose of depletion of inventories until December 31, 2023. | EBC Brakes meets this requirement. |
| • January 1, 2021 – On and after January 1, 2021, any motor vehicle brake friction materials exceeding 5 percent copper by weight shall not be sold in this state. | EBC Brakes has long ago developed copper free materials and has already started to phase these in to the USA market in readiness for these laws to make sure stockists are not left "Holding the baby". Not only has EBC beaten all competitors in this regard EBC is a world first provider removing the heavy metal Antimony Trisulphide and has been supplying materials this way since January 2013. Cadmium,Nickel,Lead,Mercury or Asbestos have NEVER been in any friction materials supplied by EBC into the USA market. |
| • January 1, 2025 – On and after January 1, 2025, any motor vehicle brake friction materials exceeding 0.5 percent copper by weight shall not be sold in this state | EBC Brakes has long ago developed copper free materials and has already started to phase these in to the USA market in readiness for these laws to make sure stockists are not left "Holding the baby".

* Recent legislation regulating hazardous material content in brake pad friction has passed in California
(CA SB346) and Washington (WA 6557). Other states are currently considering similar legislation.
