Stock rotors on the Fusion 1.6T handle daily commutes without complaint, but repeated hard stops push pad temps past the point where factory iron starts to work against you. EBC's GD Sport Rotors give the rear axle a meaningful upgrade through wide-aperture slotting, dimple drilling, and a corrosion-resistant finish built to last.
Wide-aperture slots that actively manage heat. The GD slot geometry draws cool air under the pad-to-rotor interface during braking, where contact temperatures can exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit under heavy use. That airflow reduces fade, promotes even pad wear, and expels dirt, water, mud, and dust from the contact zone with each revolution.
Dimple drilling without the cracking risk. EBC pioneered the dimple-drilled rotor in the 1990s as an alternative to through-drilled designs. Through-drilling removes material from stress points and has been shown to promote rotor cracks over time. Dimple drilling delivers the same pad degassing benefit by creating shallow pockets that allow gases to escape, while leaving the rotor's structural integrity intact.
Third-generation corrosion protection. Every GD series rotor ships with a silver corrosion-resistant coating that protects the hat and vane surfaces between brake applications, keeping rust from accelerating rotor wear or causing uneven braking after the car sits overnight.
Machined and inspected to strict tolerances. GD series rotors are 100% machined in the United Kingdom from R90-approved blanks, with the majority of castings sourced from ISO and TÜV-accredited foundries in the EU. Before release, each rotor undergoes a 100% runout, metallurgy, and dimensional check, plus balance inspection, at EBC's Las Vegas or UK facilities.
