Construction & Design
The GD series rotors are crafted from premium OE spec grey cast iron, the same material used in original equipment rotors. This ensures optimal hardness, tensile strength, and ductility for long-lasting performance under demanding conditions. The rotors are drilled and slotted to allow gases, dust, and heat to escape efficiently, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy use.
Vented rotor design further improves cooling by allowing air to flow between the rotor faces, maintaining consistent braking performance even during extended off-road or towing applications. EBC’s commitment to quality is evident in their British manufacturing process, where each rotor undergoes rigorous testing for grain structure and runout to guarantee precision fit and function.
Installation & Fitment
These front rotors are a direct fit replacement for the 2012–2018 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6 models, requiring no modifications for installation. They are designed to work seamlessly with existing brake calipers and pads that match FMSI pad number D1273. Installation can be completed using standard brake service tools and procedures, making it suitable for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike.
What's Included
- One pair of front drilled and slotted vented brake rotors (left and right sides)
Ideal For
