EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors
2005–2010 Scion tC
GD7111
Overview:
The EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors are engineered specifically for the 2005 to 2010 Scion tC, delivering enhanced braking performance and durability. Designed for drivers who demand reliable stopping power under a variety of conditions, these rotors improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during heavy braking. Whether you’re tackling daily commutes or spirited drives, these rotors provide consistent, confident braking response.
Featuring a unique dimpled and slotted design, these rotors help maintain cooler brake temperatures and keep the braking surface clean by removing dust, dirt, and gases generated during braking. This makes them an excellent upgrade for those seeking improved safety and performance from their rear brake system.
Key Features:
The EBC 3GD rotors incorporate advanced design elements to optimize braking efficiency and rotor longevity. Key features include:
- Wide Aperture Slots: Draw cool air under the brake pad during heavy braking to reduce heat buildup and brake fade.
- Dimpled Surface: Enhances pad bite and helps dissipate gases and debris from the contact area for cleaner braking.
- Blind Drilled Holes: Eliminates the risk of cracking common with through-drilled rotors, ensuring durability.
- Vented Design: Improves airflow and cooling to maintain optimal rotor temperature under load.
- Gold Anodized Finish: Provides corrosion resistance and a premium appearance, especially suited for import vehicles.
- Directional Pattern: Left and right rotors are designed to channel debris and moisture away from the pad surface, enhancing wet weather braking.
- Reduces Brake Dust: Helps keep wheels cleaner by minimizing dust accumulation.
- Improved Off-Road Performance: Effective in wet, muddy, or sandy conditions, making them versatile for varied driving environments.
Construction & Design:
Manufactured from premium disc blanks, the EBC 3GD rotors feature a robust construction that balances strength and heat dissipation. The blind drilled holes are strategically placed to prevent stress fractures, a common issue with fully drilled rotors. The dimpled and slotted surface design not only improves pad contact but also aids in removing contaminants and gases that can reduce braking efficiency.
The anodized gold finish adds a layer of protection against corrosion, extending rotor life and maintaining performance over time. This combination of materials and engineering ensures these rotors deliver consistent braking performance under demanding conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
These rear brake rotors are a direct fit replacement for the 2005–2010 Scion tC, designed to match OEM specifications for easy installation without modifications. They come as a pair, including both left and right rotors, with directional slots clearly marked to ensure proper orientation. Installation can be performed by a professional or experienced DIY enthusiast using standard brake service tools.
What's Included:
- One pair (left and right) EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors
Ideal For:
These rotors are ideal for Scion tC owners seeking enhanced braking performance, especially those who drive aggressively, tow light loads, or encounter varied road conditions including wet or dusty environments. They are also a great upgrade for enthusiasts looking to reduce brake fade and maintain cleaner wheels without sacrificing reliability.
