What are Characteristics of Quality Brake Rotors?
Brake rotors are not created equally. Many cheaper brake rotors available today are make outside the United States and are cast with inferior materials. As a result, the quality of braking is far from optimal. Furthermore, the life expectancy is greatly reduced, and often the rotors will warp and become unstable.
Quality brake rotors, on the other hand, are usually cast out of high-density grey iron. This material is most resistant to warping and has a long life when matched with the proper size ceramic brake pads like the ones made by EBC. Ceramics are one of the best choices for a pads because they absorb a great deal of the heat created in the braking system. Keeping this heat away from the rotors will prolong rotor life.
What are Characteristics of Performance Brake Rotors?
Performance brake rotors are usually ones that have some sort of slotting and either drilling or dimpling on the rotors themselves. There are many rotors on the market that are labeled "performance" rotors simply because they have drilled holes over the entire surface of the rotors. This does not make them performance, but rather, actually compromises the integrity of the rotor itself. Many of the drilled rotors available on the market are merely for cosmetic looks with no real performance advantage.
EBC offers performance brake rotors that are specially designed to provide increased performance to your braking system. This level of performance is achieved by providing a rotor that has dimples in it instead of holes drilled completely through. The dimples still achieve the purpose of allowing the gas, heat, and debris to escape the brake pad, but they don't compromise the integrity of the brake rotors. Furthermore, the performance brake rotors by EBC have wide slots in them that direct the excess heat and gas out of the braking system. This provides cooler brake rotors and cooler brake pads.
