EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors
2008–2015 Scion xB (xB2)
GD7476
Overview:
The EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Rear Brake Rotors are engineered specifically for the 2008 to 2015 Scion xB (xB2), delivering enhanced braking performance and durability. Designed for drivers seeking improved heat dissipation and reduced brake fade, these rotors are an excellent upgrade for daily driving, spirited street use, and light towing applications. Their unique dimpled and slotted design helps maintain cooler brake temperatures, extends pad life, and reduces brake dust buildup, ensuring cleaner wheels and more consistent stopping power.
Ideal for Scion xB owners who demand reliable braking performance under a variety of conditions, these rotors offer a balance of durability, safety, and improved aesthetics with their anodized gold finish tailored for import vehicles.
Key Features:
These rear brake rotors incorporate advanced design elements to optimize braking efficiency and longevity:
- Wide aperture slots that draw cool air beneath the brake pad during heavy braking to reduce rotor and pad temperatures
- Dimpled (spot drilled) surface pattern that helps remove dirt, dust, debris, and gases from the braking zone for consistent pad contact
- Blind drilled holes to eliminate the risk of rotor cracking common with through-drilled designs
- Anodized gold finish providing corrosion resistance and a stylish appearance suited for import vehicles
- Directional design with grooves and dimples oriented to the rear of the vehicle for optimal performance
- Vented rotor construction to enhance heat dissipation and reduce brake fade under load and at speed
- Improved braking performance in wet, muddy, or sandy conditions, making them suitable for light off-road or adverse weather use
- Includes both left and right rear rotors for a complete axle upgrade
Construction & Design:
The EBC 3GD rotors are manufactured from premium disc blanks engineered for strength and thermal stability. The vented design promotes efficient airflow through the rotor, minimizing heat buildup during aggressive braking. The combination of dimpled and slotted surfaces enhances pad bite and helps maintain a clean friction surface by evacuating contaminants and gases generated during braking. Unlike fully drilled rotors, the blind drilled holes reduce the likelihood of stress fractures, ensuring long-term durability and safety.
The anodized gold coating not only protects against corrosion but also adds a distinctive look that complements the Scion xB’s styling. Each rotor is precision balanced and machined to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fitment and performance.
Installation & Fitment:
These rear brake rotors are a direct fit replacement for the 2008–2015 Scion xB (xB2) and require no modifications for installation. They are designed to work seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing brake calipers and hardware. Installation is straightforward for any professional mechanic or experienced DIY enthusiast with basic brake service tools. Proper orientation is critical; the slotted and dimpled patterns must face rearward to ensure optimal airflow and performance.
What's Included:
- One pair (left and right) of EBC 3GD dimpled and slotted rear brake rotors
Ideal For:
These rotors are perfect for Scion xB owners who want to upgrade their braking system for improved heat management, reduced brake fade, and cleaner wheels. They are well suited for drivers who frequently encounter stop-and-go traffic, tow light loads, or drive in wet or dusty conditions. Enthusiasts looking for a reliable performance rotor that balances durability with enhanced braking feel will appreciate the EBC 3GD design.
