Are EBC rotors good?

EBC has built a strong reputation for high performance brakes for racing and street use and I can vouch for their performance myself now. Will buy again and I recommend them to anyone who wants easy-to-install brakes that perform better than the original brakes that came with their car.

Which is better drilled or slotted rotors?

Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.

Are drilled or solid rotors better?

If you live in an area that experiences a lot of rain, drilled rotors are a very good choice. They perform well in rainy climates by offering a good “wet bite,” hold up well over the life of the rotors, and deliver more friction and more bite than their slotted counterparts.

Are EBC brake pads any good?

They have excellent friction, consistency and don’t fade. However, they tend to wear quickly, but they are generally lower cost so that equals out. I’d recommend them with a good quality grooved disc but not smooth discs as they can glaze if not carefully managed.

Are EBC Brakes made in China?

EBC Brakes are made in one of its two specialist factories in the UK and USA. The majority of EBC brake discs or brake rotors are also made in the UK.

Are expensive rotors worth it?

Higher end rotors will offer more precise machining and in some cases different steel content, such as a higher carbon content. This can result in a better rotors that is more resistant to brake fade and thermal cracking under extreme heat and a decreased chance of warping over time.

Why Use slotted rotors?

The slots allow excess dust and gases to escape. This keeps the pad in contact with the rotor and increases friction. The edge of the slot can also cut into the pad for even more “bite.” Slotted rotors can improve braking performance.

Which EBC pads are best?
