Stock rotors on the 2015-2017 F-150 handle everyday driving without complaint, but sustained heavy braking heats pad and rotor surfaces to temperatures that accelerate fade and uneven wear. EBC's GD Sport rear rotors combine wide-aperture slots with dimple drilling to pull heat and gas away from the pad contact zone before either becomes a problem.
Slots that do real work. The wide-aperture slot pattern draws cool air under the pad-to-rotor interface during braking, reducing surface temperatures that can spike well above 1,000 degrees at the heart of the pad under hard use. The same slots continuously sweep away dirt, mud, water, and dust, keeping the braking surface clean and consistent.
Dimple drilling without the cracking risk. EBC developed the dimple-drilled rotor format to deliver pad degassing, the process that removes trapped gas from the pad surface during heat cycles, without cutting through holes that compromise rotor integrity. Through-drilled rotors are known to develop cracks at hole edges under repeated thermal stress; the dimple format provides the degassing benefit while preserving the structural mass of the rotor.
Third-generation corrosion protection. Every GD series rotor ships with a silver corrosion-resistant finish that protects non-swept surfaces from rust and keeps the rotor looking clean on the truck. The GD series blanks carry R90 approval, and all slotting is performed in-house at EBC's facilities rather than outsourced. Before release, each rotor goes through a 100% runout inspection, metallurgical check, and dimensional verification.
Product Benefits
- Wide-Aperture Slots: Channel cool air to the pad contact zone and expel debris continuously during braking.
- Dimple Drilling: Enables pad degassing without through-holes that promote rotor cracking.
- R90-Approved Blanks: Blanks meet R90 regulatory standards, with the majority cast in the EU.
- 100% Pre-Release Inspection: Every rotor is checked for runout, metallurgy, and dimensional accuracy before shipment.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Third-generation silver coating protects non-swept rotor surfaces from rust.
- Direct Rear Fitment: Engineered specifically for the 2015-2017 F-150 rear axle position.
- In-House Slotting: All slot machining performed at EBC facilities for consistent quality control.
