Key Features

The EBC USR Slotted Front Brake Rotors incorporate several advanced features designed to optimize braking efficiency and rotor longevity:

• Precision-machined in the UK from high-quality grey iron for durability and consistent performance
• Slotted rotor design improves pad bite and helps evacuate gases, dust, and water for cleaner contact surfaces
• Vented construction enhances heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy use
• Compatible with FMSI pad number D370 for easy pad matching
• Exact OEM fitment with 8 bolt holes, 318mm diameter, 131.5mm height, 33mm thickness, and 120.9mm center hole diameter
• British-made quality with rigorous testing and quality control standards
• Sold as a set including both left and right front rotors

Construction & Design

EBC manufactures these rotors from premium-grade grey iron, known for its excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance. The rotors are precision-machined to exacting tolerances in the UK, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor faces, effectively dissipating heat generated during braking. The slotted surface pattern is engineered to maintain pad surface cleanliness and reduce glazing, which helps extend pad life and maintain consistent braking performance.

Performance & Sound

The USR slotted rotors provide enhanced braking performance by improving pad bite and reducing brake fade under heavy loads or repeated stops. The slotting also helps minimize brake dust buildup and water retention on the rotor surface, contributing to more reliable stopping power in wet or demanding conditions. Additionally, the design helps reduce brake noise and vibration, delivering a quieter and smoother braking experience compared to standard rotors.

Installation & Fitment

These rotors are designed for direct bolt-on installation on 1994–2001 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD models with the 5.2L V8 engine. No modifications are required, making replacement straightforward for professional mechanics or experienced DIY enthusiasts. It is recommended to replace rotors in pairs and to use compatible high-friction brake pads, such as those matching FMSI pad number D370, to maximize braking performance and rotor longevity.

What's Included
