These high-performance grooved and dimpled brake discs are resilient to high temperatures and long-lasting. EBC Turbo Groove Discs use a grooved and dimpled braking surface to offer enhanced braking performance. These features allow dirt and gases to escape from the disc during braking, preventing any build-up of hot gas between pad and disc. They also sweep the surface of pads clean, ensuring excellent braking action every time. Turbo Groove Discs undergo extensive testing and rigorous quality control and are made from premium quality castings before being machined to exacting standards. Features wider aperture grooves that dispel gasses and debris, blind drilled holes to prevent cracking, and a coated disc for maximum corrosion resistance. Each disc is inspected for runout and supplied in pairs. EBC part number: GD1772.
This guide is for performance road car owners looking to upgrade their braking system. EBC Brakes Turbo Groove Performance Rear Brake Discs offer enhanced braking performance and are designed to withstand high temperatures. Note that proper installation and bedding-in are crucial for optimal performance.
