    Features

    • Designed for use with EBC Greenstuff, Yellowstuff, Redstuff, and Bluestuff pads
    • Black GEOMET and NITROTHERM™ anti corrosive finish
    • V-shaped slots on rotor surfaces allow increased expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases
    • Recommended by EBC for use on performance street driving and racing with lighter weight vehicles
    • High carbon content doubles the levels of some competitors to prevent brake shudder, heat cracking, and high-frequency vibrations which cause squealing
    • Vented center allows air to pass between both rotor sides for more effective cooling
    • V-shaped slots have a 1mm depth that indicates rotors need replacement when slots have worn away completely
    • EBC recommends a 500-mile break in period with lighter braking application
    • EBC Brakes Special Offers

    Product Details

    Blade Sport High Carbon Slotted Vented 1-Piece Front Brake Rotors (BSD972) by EBC®. Quantity: 2 Per Pack. These replacement brake rotors are constructed from iron with high carbon and silicone content to reduce thermal buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear. V-shaped slots expel more heat, dust, water, and gases and are designed to indicate rotors are worn when they wear away completely. Powder coat finish provides corrosion resistance on non-contact areas. Designed for use with EBC green, yellow, red, and blue pads. The anodized layer is designed to disappear in the area that the brake pads contact the rotor.

    Installation

    Benefits:

    • Ensure increased pad bite and improved air circulation
    • Clean and de-glaze pad surface for optimum pad coefficient of friction
    • Create an escape route for debris, dust, and water
    • Reduce stopping distances in wet weather
    • Offer much faster heat dissipation
    • Resistant to warping and fading

    EBC High Carbon Blade Sport Rotors are blended to offer performance drivers the absolute lowest amount of brake shudder, noise and heat buildup. Unlike brake rotors from competitors, High Carbon Blade Sport Rotors are cast from "gray" iron which features a high percentage of carbon (roughly 4 percent) and silicone which leads to the formation of graphite during the curing process at EBC's factory. When graphite is present, the rotor itself takes on qualities of a denser, softer material. Heat is more evenly dispersed to reduce warping, cracks are less likely, and vibration-related noise is greatly reduced. High Carbon Blade rotors are also powder coated with a patented Geomet finish to keep corrosion at bay, and rotors should be fully ready for performance driving after a 500-mile break-in period.

    World-renowned brake experts at EBC have developed over a dozen variations of performance brake components, and each one is crafted to provide a superior level of grip, wear, and performance for uniquely different vehicle sizes, weights, and applications. When the company engineers who created pads that can survive 1,800 degree temperature test runs turn their attention to creating equally impressive brake rotors, you will see rotors finely tuned to deliver impressive looks behind your wheel spokes and last run performance that's as equally impressive as your first. If you've been let down by underperforming brake rotors that didn't last as long as they should, High Carbon Blade Sport Rotors are designed for the long run. If installed at the same time as a new set of EBC long life brake pads, it's not uncommon for these rotors to last the length of the first set with more than enough life to be used with a second set. All EBC brake rotors are cast to a high metal strength rating of 150 newton meters and are precision CNC machined to be within tolerances of less than 0.05 millimeters. High Carbon Sport Rotors are the result of relentless testing and refinement, and when better brake rotors are built it is EBC that will build them.

    Great Stopping Power
    Daily driver, best rotor ever. These rotors are combined with power stop disc pads.

    One Of The Best!
    Wasn't expecting what I was expecting! These rotors are the one of the best, once they broke in it was a smooth and quick stop. The v slots are my favorite part, all you feel is a fast steady decrease in speed. Even when driving at high speeds they work like a charm. oh and they definitely have my car a sporty look!

    Way Better Than PowerStop 2-Piece
    These EBC Slotted 2 Piece Front Rotors are so good. I highly recommend them. These are way better than PowerStop. PowerStop doesn’t have just the one piece rotors but EBC Does sell them. These are very smooth when brakes. Fits on my 2018 Dodge Charger Scat Pack 6 Piston Brake Setup

    EBC is the Best Choice
    A few years ago, I purchased EBC performance rotors and brake pads from AnythingAuto for my 2015 Honda Odyssey. I initially replaced the factory rotors with Power Stop rotors, but they wore out within a few months. That’s when I came across EBC during my search for better options. After reading several positive reviews, I decided to try their products, and I was honestly impressed. I went with the "duty" pads, and they provided serious stopping power, which is crucial for a large vehicle like the Odyssey. The performance was noticeably better than anything I had used before. Fast forward to my 2020 Toyota 4Runner. My factory rotors started going bad around 50,000 miles. This time, I ordered EBC rotors from TRUCKiD. The items arrived in good packaging, although I was a bit surprised that no stickers or extras were included. Installation was straightforward and easy. I’ve driven about 2,500 miles since the install and so far everything has been great.mostly driven 90% highway and with quick breaking , No issues with braking performance or vibration. I recommend this .

    Way Better Than Stock
    These rotors are a huge step up from the stock setup on my 21 Durango. I drive hard, especially on winding roads and these hold up without any fade. I did the install myself, everything lined up perfectly.

    Much Better Than OEM
    These rotors perform much better than OEM. I warp my OEM rotors after just a few weeks. After breaking these in, i drove hard and felt no pulsating or vibration. Also these rotors are 33mm thick compared to OEM 30mm. So they absorb heat better. I like the anti-corrosion coating on it as well.

    Too Soon To TellL.....
    Used these on another vehicle ( 2001 T&C AWD minivan) to stop 'warping' and they never warped again!!! So far on this vehicle ( 2016 Fusion) they work great. A little noisy. Wasn't expecting that. The van never had that. But I also changed front & back on the Fusion. Will review in a bout a year to see if they warp...:)

    No Need For Drilled And Slotted
    I ordered the EBC rotors for my 2004 Toyota Tundra and received them promptly and in good condition. It was packaged excellently, showing no damage from shipping and no use of nasty plastic packaging. Plain and simple in a cardboard box with packing paper. The rotors bolted right up, and because they are not drilled or slotted by some crappy manufacturer I expect them to hold up well for a long time. The drilled and slotted phase is a hoax, just look up Formula One brakes and you will see what I mean.
