EBC® – Stage 3 Truck and SUV Dimpled and Slotted Brake Kit

Description

• Angled slots on rotor surfaces allow superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases
• Round indents in the rotors surface further increase cooling without the risk of cracking that drill-through holes pose
• Black GEOMET and NITROTHERM™ anti corrosive finish
• Brake rotors are unidirectional to the left and right side of your vehicle to maximize effectiveness
• 3GD vented centers feature a wider aperture for air to pass between both rotor sides for superior cooling
• EBC recommends a 500-mile break in period with lighter braking application
• Engineered to better resist mud, sand, and grit that accumulate on brakes during off-roading
• Nominal friction coefficient of 0.45 under normal driving conditions
• Patented organic AF42/66 pad friction material features a low level of metallic compounds that reduces rotor wear by up to 50%
• Produces a low amount of brake dust
• Backing plate and side edges of brake pad are green powder coated for resistance to corrosion
• Pad surfaces have chamfered edges to reduce contact against rotor lip that forms over time and causes squealing
• Center gap allows for proper heat expansion of brake pads
• Built in noise-reducing shims
• Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating provides better grip during the first 100 miles after new pads are installed
• Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating scours off any existing glaze or heat spots from brake rotor surface for more even surface mating

Benefits:

• Slots reduce stopping distances in wet weather
• Dimples are resistant to cracking compared to drilled holes
• Dimples reduce the stress on the pads and improve heat dissipation
• Slots create an escape route for debris, dust, gases, and water
• Slots clean and de-glaze pad surface for optimum pad coefficient of friction
• Slots help to increase pad bite and improve air circulation

EBC pioneered brake rotors with dimple-drilled round indents decades ago to provide a solution to cracking problems that sometimes plague perforated rotors operating under high stress and heat conditions. What makes the 3GD Series Dimpled and Slotted Sport Rotors superior is the presence of both these dimpled indents and straight vent slots. Combined, they provide the superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gas that is needed to keep rotors cool and functional during street performance driving in any weather. Additionally, 3GD rotors feature a wider vented aperture for air to pass between both rotor sides, so metal expands evenly during use and the chance of warpage is minimized. 3GD rotors are designed for use with EBC Greenstuff™ 4×4 brake pads, Greenstuff™ 2000 compact car pads, Yellowstuff™ heavy duty 4×4 brake pads, and Yellowstuff™ / Redstuff™ pads created for shorter high performance street or track runs and drifting. 3GD brake rotors are anodized to prevent corrosion, and rotors should be fully ready for use after the first 500-miles of moderate brake application.

For heavier pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, EBC offers the Greenstuff™ 6000 Series Truck and SUV Brake Pads to give you longer pad life, low rotor wear, and reduced brake dust. Instead of neck-breaking autobahn grip, Greenstuff™ 6000 pads are formulated for the unique needs of heavier trucks and sport utilities that venture off-road. Unlike factory original semi-metallic pads, these are constructed from an organic aramid compound which is made with Kevlar and Twaron composites to create a harder pad surface that is extremely resistant to dirt, rocks, and sand. While that harder brake pad surface takes longer to wear down, the improved pad life will not come at the expense of your rotors. Because steel wool compounds are pared to minimum levels, you will find a new set of rotors will last through two sets of brake pads. Should you install new pads without replacing rotors, pre-chamfered pad edges will mate perfectly against the grooves and lips that normally form on the rotor surfaces, so the meat of the pad makes contact against the rotor center where it counts. These pads also feature a red top layer coating designed to scour glaze and hot spots off worn brake rotors during the break-in process. As it does that, the coating also serves to provide a higher level of grip to counteract low friction levels that exist before bedding is complete. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed rather than transferred as squealing noise, even under the most extreme weather conditions.

In government R90 tests of replacement brake components, EBC Greenstuff™ pads have been shown to deliver equivalent performance, bedding, cold temperature operation, and speed sensitivity versus original manufacturer parts. EBC’s patented Greenstuff™ brake pad material also ensures the pads are soft enough to avoid brake squeal, but not so soft that longevity becomes compromised. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed to prevent squealing even under the most extreme weather conditions.

Founded and based in the United Kingdom, EBC Brakes® is a premiere producer of brake components for passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, ATVs, and even scooters. EBC brake pads and rotors are preferred by fleet operators of emergency vehicles, livery cabs, and by discerning racers all over the world for the effective grip, superior lifespan, resistance to heat buildup, and proper fit they deliver. From the company president down to every employee, EBC strongly believes that brake components that are truly superior must be constructed from the most effective materials and also offer the lowest environmental impact possible. Likewise, EBC will never put their name on any products that cut corners in development, quality control, or are manufactured using sweatshop working conditions where human rights are not valued. When you want the best, most responsible brake components that meet or exceed OEM specification without dealer OEM markup, EBC Brakes is the only name you need to know.
