EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Front Brake Rotors
2005–2010 Scion tC
GD7110
Overview:
The EBC 3GD Dimpled & Slotted Front Brake Rotors are engineered specifically for the 2005 to 2010 Scion tC, delivering enhanced braking performance and durability. Designed for drivers seeking improved heat dissipation and consistent stopping power, these rotors are an excellent upgrade over standard OEM components. Ideal for spirited street driving and daily use, they help reduce brake fade and maintain optimal braking efficiency under demanding conditions.
Featuring a unique combination of wide aperture slots and dimpled surfaces, these rotors actively draw cool air beneath the brake pads during heavy braking. This innovative design lowers brake temperatures, reduces dust buildup, and improves pad bite, resulting in cleaner, more reliable braking performance.
Key Features:
The EBC 3GD rotors incorporate advanced technology and thoughtful design elements to maximize braking effectiveness and longevity:
- Wide Slots: Enhance airflow to keep brakes cooler during intense use, reducing the risk of overheating.
- Dimpled Surface: Helps dissipate heat and gases generated during heavy braking, improving pad contact and reducing fade.
- Blind Drilled Holes: Prevent rotor cracking common with through-drilled designs, ensuring greater durability.
- Dust and Debris Removal: Slots and dimples help clear dirt, dust, and brake gases from the pad surface for consistent braking.
- Directional Design: Left and right rotors are specifically engineered with grooves and dimples oriented to optimize performance and airflow.
- Anodized Finish: Provides corrosion resistance and a distinctive gold color, enhancing rotor longevity and appearance.
- Vented Construction: Improves heat dissipation through internal vanes, maintaining cooler rotor temperatures.
- Set of Two: Includes both left and right front rotors for complete axle replacement.
Construction & Design:
Manufactured from premium disc blanks, the EBC 3GD rotors feature a vented design with blind drilled holes and wide slots. This combination ensures superior heat management and structural integrity. Unlike through-drilled rotors, the blind holes eliminate stress points that can lead to cracking, extending rotor life. The anodized gold finish not only protects against corrosion but also complements the appearance of import vehicles like the Scion tC.
The directional slot and dimple pattern is engineered to channel air efficiently beneath the brake pads, enhancing cooling and debris removal. This design also improves braking performance in adverse conditions such as wet or muddy roads, making these rotors versatile for various driving environments.
Installation & Fitment:
These front brake rotors are a direct fit replacement for the 2005–2010 Scion tC, requiring no modifications for installation. They are designed to work seamlessly with existing brake pads and calipers. Proper orientation is essential: the slots and dimples should face rearward to ensure optimal airflow and performance. Installation can be completed by professional mechanics or experienced enthusiasts with standard brake service tools.
What's Included:
- One pair (left and right) of EBC 3GD dimpled and slotted front brake rotors
Ideal For:
These rotors are ideal for Scion tC owners looking to upgrade their braking system for improved heat management, reduced brake fade, and enhanced stopping power. They suit daily drivers, performance enthusiasts, and those who occasionally tow or drive in challenging conditions. The design also benefits drivers who want to reduce brake dust and maintain cleaner wheels.
