EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Front Brake Rotors

2004–2006 Scion xA / xB

GD7202

Overview:

The EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Front Brake Rotors are engineered specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models, delivering enhanced braking performance and durability. Designed for drivers seeking improved heat dissipation and reduced brake fade, these rotors offer a significant upgrade over standard factory discs. Ideal for daily driving as well as spirited use, they help maintain consistent stopping power under demanding conditions.

These rotors feature a unique combination of dimpled surfaces and wide aperture slots that actively cool the brake pads during heavy braking. This design not only lowers brake temperatures but also reduces brake dust buildup, keeping your wheels cleaner and your braking system operating efficiently.

Key Features:

Engineered to optimize braking performance and longevity, the EBC 3GD rotors include several advanced features:

• Wide slots that draw cool air beneath the brake pads to reduce operating temperatures
• Dimpled (spot drilled) surface to improve heat dissipation and prevent cracking
• Slots and dimples help remove dirt, dust, debris, and gases from the pad contact area
• Vented rotor design enhances cooling for consistent braking performance
• Gold anodized finish for corrosion resistance and a premium appearance, especially suited for import vehicles
• Directional design with left and right specific rotors to ensure optimal airflow and performance
• Reduces brake fade under heavy load and high-speed conditions
• Improves braking in wet, muddy, or sandy conditions, making it suitable for light off-road use
• Blind drilled holes eliminate the risk of cracking common with through-drilled rotors

Construction & Design:

The EBC 3GD rotors are manufactured from premium disc blanks engineered for durability and thermal efficiency. The dimpled (spot drilled) pattern is carefully designed to enhance heat dissipation without compromising structural integrity, avoiding the cracking issues associated with fully drilled rotors. The wide slots are precision-machined to channel air effectively under the brake pads, reducing heat buildup and helping maintain consistent braking performance.

Each rotor is anodized with a gold finish that provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending the life of the rotor and maintaining a clean, attractive look. The rotors are vented to further improve cooling, ensuring reliable performance even during demanding driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

These front brake rotors are a direct fit replacement for 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models, requiring no modifications for installation. They come as a matched pair with left and right rotors clearly designated to maintain proper directional airflow. Installation can be performed using standard brake service procedures, making them suitable for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

What's Included:

• One pair (left and right) of EBC 3GD dimpled and slotted front brake rotors

Ideal For:

These rotors are perfect for Scion xA and xB owners who want to upgrade their braking system for improved heat management, reduced brake fade, and cleaner wheels. They are especially beneficial for drivers who frequently encounter heavy braking scenarios, such as city stop-and-go traffic, spirited driving, or light off-road conditions. Additionally, their corrosion-resistant finish makes them a great choice for those seeking long-lasting performance and aesthetics.
