Stock rotors on the Focus ST handle daily commutes without complaint, but push into repeated hard braking and the limits show fast: heat builds, fade creeps in, and pad wear becomes uneven. EBC's GD7706 GD Sport Rotors replace the fronts with a slotted, dimple-drilled rotor built specifically for fast street driving.
Wide-aperture slots that actively cool the rotor surface. The GD series slot geometry draws cool air under the pad-to-rotor interface, reducing temperatures that can spike well above 1000 degrees Fahrenheit at the center of a brake pad during heavy stops. Lower temperatures mean less fade, more consistent pedal feel, and longer pad life. The same slots expel dirt, mud, water, and dust from the braking zone, keeping the contact patch clean through every stop.
Dimple drilling without the cracking risk. EBC developed the dimple-drilled rotor design in the 1990s as a way to achieve pad degassing without cutting through-holes in the rotor face. Through-drilling concentrates stress and promotes cracking under thermal cycling; dimples provide the degassing benefit while preserving rotor structural integrity.
Third-generation corrosion protection. Every GD series rotor ships with a silver corrosion-resistant finish that extends service life beyond bare-metal alternatives. Blanks are R90-approved and the majority are cast in the EU, with 100% machining completed in the UK. Before release, each rotor goes through a full runout inspection, metallurgy check, dimensional check, and balance check in EBC's ISO and TÜV-certified facilities.
