Stock rotors on the 2011 F-150 3.5L EcoBoost handle everyday driving well enough, but heavier loads, trailer towing, and spirited highway runs push brake temperatures into territory where factory iron runs out of ideas. The EBC GD7536 GD Sport rotors bring slotted and dimple-drilled geometry to the front axle, shedding heat and debris before either becomes a brake fade problem.
Wide-aperture slots that actively cool the braking surface. The GD series slots draw cool air under the pad-to-rotor interface during heavy braking, where contact temperatures can exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That airflow lowers pad surface temperatures, reduces fade, and helps maintain consistent stopping power through repeated hard stops.
Dimple drilling without the cracking risk. EBC pioneered the dimple-drilled rotor in the 1990s as an alternative to through-drilled holes. Full through-drilling creates stress risers that can propagate cracks under thermal cycling. Dimples provide the same pad degassing benefit by allowing gases to escape from the pad surface while leaving the rotor's structural integrity intact.
Third-generation corrosion protection keeps them looking and performing correctly. Every GD series rotor ships with a silver corrosion-resistant finish that protects the non-swept surfaces from rust. The finish extends service life and keeps the rotor visually clean behind open-spoke wheels.
Manufactured to strict dimensional standards. GD series rotors are 100% machined in the United Kingdom from R90-approved blanks, with the majority of castings sourced from ISO and TÜV approved facilities in the EU. Every finished rotor passes a 100% runout, metallurgy, and dimensional check before leaving the facility, and all sport rotors are balanced and runout-inspected before release.
Product Benefits
- Direct Front Fitment: Engineered specifically for the 2011 F-150 3.5L EcoBoost 2WD 7-lug configuration.
- Wide-Aperture Slots: Channel cool air to the pad interface, reduce heat buildup, and expel dirt, mud, water, and dust from the braking zone.
- Dimple-Drilled Design: Provides pad degassing without through-drilling, preserving rotor structural integrity and reducing crack risk.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Third-generation silver coating protects non-swept surfaces and extends rotor service life.
- R90-Approved Blanks: Raw castings meet European R90 safety standards before any machining begins.
- 100% Quality Inspection: Every rotor is checked for runout, metallurgy, and dimensional accuracy, then balanced before shipment.
- Even Pad Wear: Slot geometry promotes consistent pad contact across the full swept surface.
About EBC Brakes: EBC Brakes is a specialist brake component manufacturer with production facilities in the United Kingdom and quality-accredited partner foundries across Europe. The company developed the dimple-drilled rotor concept in the 1990s and continues to manufacture its GD series discs to ISO, TÜV, and BS5750 standards, with 100% dimensional and runout inspection on every unit before release.
