EBC USR Slotted Front Brake Rotors
2012–2016 Scion iQ
USR7600
Overview:
The EBC USR Slotted Front Brake Rotors are engineered specifically for the 2012 to 2016 Scion iQ, delivering enhanced braking performance and durability. Designed for drivers seeking improved stopping power and consistent pedal feel, these rotors offer a significant upgrade over standard factory components. When paired with compatible high-friction EBC brake pads, such as Redstuff, Greenstuff, or Yellowstuff, the USR rotors provide superior heat dissipation, reduced brake fade, and extended pad life.
These rotors are ideal for daily drivers who want reliable, sportier braking without excessive noise or vibration. EBC’s extensive experience and rigorous testing ensure that the USR series strikes the perfect balance between performance and longevity, making them a trusted choice for Scion iQ owners looking to enhance their vehicle’s braking system.
Key Features:
The EBC USR Slotted Front Brake Rotors incorporate advanced design elements to optimize braking efficiency and driver confidence. Key features include:
- Precision-machined narrow slots that promote pad degassing and help remove dirt, dust, water, and debris from the rotor surface
- Improved heat dissipation to keep brakes running cooler under demanding conditions
- Slots designed to maintain smooth and flat pad wear, extending pad life and maintaining consistent braking performance
- Reduced brake fade during high-speed or repeated braking scenarios
- Finer slot pattern that minimizes air noise, providing quieter operation compared to aggressively slotted rotors
- Durable construction suitable for premium sedans and compact sport vehicles like the Scion iQ
- Sold as a pair, including both left and right front rotors for complete axle replacement
Construction & Design:
The EBC USR rotors are manufactured from high-quality cast iron, engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of everyday driving and spirited use. The slotted design is carefully optimized to balance performance benefits with noise reduction, avoiding the harsh sounds commonly associated with more aggressive slot patterns. This approach ensures that the rotors provide effective pad cleaning and heat management without compromising driver comfort.
Each rotor undergoes precision machining to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth surface finish that promotes even pad contact and consistent braking response. The robust construction also contributes to longer rotor life and resistance to warping under heat.
Performance & Sound
When paired with EBC’s high-friction brake pads, the USR slotted rotors deliver noticeable improvements in braking power and pedal feel. The slots facilitate rapid degassing of the pad surface, reducing the risk of brake fade and maintaining consistent stopping performance during repeated or aggressive braking. Additionally, the narrow slot design minimizes the typical air noise associated with slotted rotors, resulting in a quieter, more refined braking experience.
Installation & Fitment:
The EBC USR Slotted Front Brake Rotors are designed as direct replacements for the front rotors on the 2012–2016 Scion iQ, requiring no modifications for installation. They fit the factory mounting points and dimensions precisely, allowing for straightforward bolt-on installation using standard tools. For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously with a compatible EBC high-friction pad set to fully realize the benefits of the slotted rotor design.
What's Included:

Ideal For:
These rotors are perfect for Scion iQ owners who want to upgrade their braking system for improved performance, longevity, and reliability. They suit daily drivers, enthusiasts, and those who occasionally push their vehicle harder on the road, providing enhanced stopping power without excessive noise or harshness. When combined with EBC’s Redstuff, Greenstuff, or Yellowstuff brake pads, the USR rotors deliver a balanced, sport-oriented braking solution tailored to the compact and efficient Scion iQ.
