2012–2018 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6
Part #: GD7447
Overview
The EBC GD Drilled & Slotted Rear Rotors are engineered specifically for the 2012 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine. Designed to enhance braking performance and reliability, these rotors provide superior heat dissipation and improved pad bite compared to standard OEM rotors. Ideal for Jeep enthusiasts seeking a direct-fit upgrade that balances everyday driving with spirited off-road capability.
Manufactured to OE specifications using premium grey cast iron, these rotors ensure consistent braking power and durability. The drilled and slotted design helps to reduce brake fade by efficiently venting gases, dust, and heat generated during aggressive braking, making them a smart choice for both street and light off-road use.
