Stock rotors on the Fiesta 1.6 shed heat slowly and offer no mechanism to clear gas, water, or debris from the pad contact surface during hard stops. The EBC GD1676 GD Sport Rotors replace the front factory units with third-generation slotted and dimple-drilled rotors built to keep pad temps in check and braking consistent when it matters most.
Wide-aperture slots that actively cool the braking surface. The GD series slot geometry draws cool air under the pad-to-rotor interface during braking, where contact temperatures can exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower pad temperatures reduce brake fade and maintain consistent stopping power through repeated hard stops.
Dimple drilling without the cracking risk. EBC pioneered the dimple-drilled rotor concept in the 1990s as an alternative to through-drilled holes, which concentrate stress and can propagate cracks over time. The dimple pattern allows pad degassing while preserving the full structural integrity of the rotor disc.
Third-generation corrosion-resistant finish. Every GD Sport Rotor ships with a silver corrosion protection coating that extends service life and keeps the rotor looking clean between pad changes. The coating is applied after final machining and balancing.
R90-approved blanks, 100% machined and inspected. GD series rotors are fully machined in the United Kingdom from R90-approved blanks, with castings sourced from ISO and TUV-certified facilities in the EU. Every rotor undergoes a 100% runout, dimensional, and metallurgy check before release, and all slotting is performed at EBC's own facilities rather than contracted out.
Product Benefits
- Direct Front Fitment: Engineered specifically for the 2010-2019 Fiesta 1.6, no modification required.
- Wide-Aperture Slots: Promote even pad wear, expel water, mud, and dust, and draw cool air to the pad interface.
- Dimple-Drilled Design: Enables pad degassing without through-holes that risk rotor cracking.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Third-generation silver coating protects against surface rust and extends rotor life.
- R90-Approved Blanks: Meets European regulatory standards for rotor safety and performance.
- 100% Pre-Release Inspection: Every rotor is checked for runout, metallurgy, and dimensional accuracy before shipment.
- Balanced at the Factory: Each rotor is balanced after slotting to minimize vibration at speed.
About EBC Brakes: EBC Brakes has manufactured friction and braking products for street, track, and off-road use for decades. The company operates production and quality-control facilities in the United Kingdom and maintains accredited foundry partnerships certified to ISO and BS5750 standards, applying 100% dimensional and metallurgy checks across its rotor lines before any product reaches the customer.
