Stock rotors on the Focus RS handle daily commutes well enough, but the platform's turbocharged power and sport-tuned suspension demand better thermal management when the driving gets serious. EBC's BSD rotors bring G3000 grey iron construction and a bi-directional blade slot design to the rear axle of the 2016-2018 Focus RS, keeping brakes cooler and pads more consistent under hard use.
G3000 grey iron casting for precision and durability. Each BSD rotor starts as a GS3000 grey iron blank that is precision machined, flat ground, metallurgy checked, balanced, and finished with a corrosion-resistant coating at EBC's Northampton, UK facility. The result is a rotor that meets tight dimensional tolerances right out of the box.
Bi-directional blade slot geometry sets the BSD apart. Unlike a conventional uni-directional slot, the blade slot pattern works in both rotational directions to evacuate hot gases from the braking zone quickly and efficiently. Faster gas evacuation keeps pad surfaces flatter, reduces thermal distortion, and lowers operating temperatures across the rotor face. The overlapping slot geometry also dampens brake wind noise, making the BSD one of the quieter slotted rotor options available.
Compatible with the full EBC brake pad lineup. BSD rotors pair directly with EBC Greenstuff, Redstuff, Yellowstuff, and Bluestuff NDX brake pads, allowing you to match the compound to your driving style without sourcing a separate rotor.
Product Benefits
- G3000 Grey Iron Construction: Heat-treated casting blank precision machined and balanced at EBC's UK plant.
- Bi-Directional Blade Slots: Evacuates hot gases from the braking zone faster than conventional uni-directional slots.
- Cooler Operating Temperatures: Improved gas evacuation reduces heat buildup and thermal distortion in the rotor.
- Flatter Pad Contact: More consistent rotor temperatures keep pad surfaces even for predictable bite.
- Reduced Brake Wind Noise: Overlapping slot geometry minimizes the noise common to slotted performance rotors.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Applied at the factory to protect the rotor during storage and between uses.
- Direct Rear Fitment: Sized and drilled specifically for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS rear axle.
