Most EBC rotors are made from British castings and 100% of these are precision machined in either the UK or the USA. EBC Brakes has 14 machining centres in these two countries to manufacture these precision parts. Rotors are made from high quality grey iron to exacting standards and undergo extensive testing and rigorous quality control and are then precision machined to your chosen slot or dimple pattern.

The dimple drilled rotor was invented by EBC back in the 90′s and has been imitated by many because of its ability to offer pad degassing without “Through Drilling” disc or rotor holes which has been shown to promote rotor cracks.

The wide aperture slots on the EBC units actually draw cool air under the brake pad and rotor interface and help cool the temperatures of the pad contact which can shoot up to well over 1000 degrees at the very heart of the brake pad during heavy braking and can cause brake fade or loss of brake effect.

These “Full sweep” slots on the EBC Sport Brake rotor also help remove dirt dust debris and water from the braking area but without doubt the MAIN benefit of such sport rotors is their ability to maintain a flat and parallel pad surface throughout the lifetime of the brake pad set.

Issue

I have a 2006 Volvo V50 AWD T5 turbo, i installed the Redstuff and 3GD Solid Sport Rotor – Gold Finish about 2 years ago and have had no problem with Smoother braking by far so thanks for that, but now I get a squealing from 1 front and 1 rear when I slightly depress the brakes, it is very loud and annoying so I am wondering can you guide me in the right direction to diagnose this noise and why… Thank You!

Solution

I will make you a set of the latest material which should be a lot better and these will be FREE of charge for you my man being a Military friend.

Customer Response

Wow, i am so greatful, and I know my wife will be to. Thank you so much for the help you have provided me, and for working for such a great store that makes great products, I have had slotted rotors and the Greenstuff on my Wrangler for a year or so and they work so much better than factory! With the service you have just provided and the great products I’m sure I’ll have EBC Brakes on my vehicles for life, and I am thankful for people like you that make me doing my job (infantry) almost 10yrs, hopfully another 10 worth it!
