EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors
2011–2016 Scion tC2
GD7682
Overview:
The EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors are engineered specifically for the 2011 to 2016 Scion tC2, delivering enhanced braking performance and durability. Designed for drivers seeking improved heat dissipation and consistent stopping power, these rotors are an excellent upgrade for daily driving, spirited street use, and light towing applications. Their unique design helps maintain cooler brake temperatures during heavy braking, reducing fade and extending pad life.
Ideal for Scion tC owners who demand reliable and efficient braking, these rotors combine advanced engineering with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance and safety.
Key Features:
These rear brake rotors incorporate several innovative features that set them apart from standard OEM rotors:
- Wide Aperture Slots: Actively draw cool air beneath the brake pad, enhancing heat dissipation during intense braking sessions.
- Dimpled & Slotted Surface: Helps remove dirt, dust, debris, and gases generated by heavy braking, maintaining a clean pad contact area.
- Blind Drilled Holes: Reduce the risk of rotor cracking compared to through-drilled designs, improving durability and safety.
- Anodized Gold Finish: Provides corrosion resistance and a premium appearance, especially suited for import vehicles like the Scion tC2.
- Directional Design: Left and right rotors are specifically engineered for optimal airflow and performance, with grooves and dimples oriented to the rear of the vehicle.
- Reduced Brake Fade: Maintains consistent braking performance under load and at high speeds.
- Improved Off-Road Capability: Effective in wet, muddy, or sandy conditions, making them versatile for varied driving environments.
Construction & Design:
The EBC 3GD rotors are manufactured from premium disc blanks that ensure structural integrity and longevity. The blind-drilled holes are strategically placed to prevent stress fractures common in fully drilled rotors, while the wide slots facilitate airflow and debris removal. The anodized gold coating not only enhances corrosion resistance but also adds a distinctive look that complements the Scion tC2’s sporty character.
Each rotor is vented to maximize cooling efficiency, helping to maintain optimal braking temperatures even during demanding driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
These rotors are designed as a direct fit replacement for the rear brakes of the 2011–2016 Scion tC2, requiring no modifications for installation. They come as a matched pair for both left and right sides, ensuring balanced braking performance. Installation can be completed using standard brake service tools and procedures, making them suitable for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike.
What's Included:
- One pair (left and right) of EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors (Part # GD7682)
Ideal For:
These rotors are perfect for Scion tC2 owners who want to upgrade their braking system for improved heat management, reduced fade, and enhanced durability. They are especially suited for drivers who frequently encounter heavy braking scenarios, such as spirited driving, towing light loads, or navigating variable road conditions including wet or off-road surfaces.
