EBC USR Slotted Front Rotors
2005–2010 Dodge Dakota
USR7274
Overview:
The EBC USR BlackDash Series Sport Slotted Front Brake Rotors are precision-engineered replacement rotors designed specifically for the 2005 to 2010 Dodge Dakota. These rotors deliver enhanced braking performance with a focus on quiet operation and durability, making them ideal for enthusiasts who demand reliable stopping power during aggressive driving or towing. Featuring a unique slotted design and advanced cooling technology, these rotors help maintain consistent brake feel and reduce the risk of warping under heavy use.
Built to complement EBC’s Greenstuff, Yellowstuff, and Redstuff brake pads, the USR rotors provide superior heat dissipation and improved pad bite, ensuring shorter stopping distances and enhanced safety in all driving conditions.
Key Features:
The EBC USR Slotted Front Rotors incorporate innovative design elements and materials to optimize braking efficiency and rotor longevity:
- Sport slotted rotors with multiple angled slots for quieter operation and superior cooling
- Vented center design promotes even temperature distribution to minimize warping
- Black GEOMET™ and NITROTHERM™ anti-corrosive finish protects non-contact areas from rust and corrosion
- Unidirectional rotor design tailored for left and right sides to maximize braking effectiveness
- Two sets of slots ensure even pad wear and prevent the formation of ridges or grooves
- Slots efficiently expel heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases for consistent performance
- Recommended break-in period of 500 miles with light braking to optimize rotor and pad bedding
- Compatible with EBC Greenstuff™, Yellowstuff™, and Redstuff™ brake pads for matched performance
Construction & Design:
Manufactured from high-quality cast iron, the EBC USR rotors feature a one-piece construction that balances strength and heat dissipation. The vented rotor core allows air to flow freely between the rotor faces, reducing thermal stress and preventing uneven expansion that can lead to warping. The anodized BlackDash finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but is engineered to wear away in the pad contact area, ensuring optimal friction and braking consistency.
The rotor’s slotted surface pattern is carefully designed with narrow, angled slots that reduce noise while maintaining aggressive heat and debris evacuation. This design promotes even pad wear and extends the life of both the rotor and brake pads.
Performance & Sound
The USR Slotted Rotors are engineered to provide a quieter braking experience compared to traditional slotted rotors, making them well suited for street performance and daily driving. The dual-slot configuration improves pad bite and helps maintain a clean pad surface by de-glazing, which enhances the coefficient of friction. This results in reduced stopping distances, especially in wet conditions, and consistent brake feel under heavy use.
By efficiently dissipating heat and expelling brake dust and gases, these rotors reduce the risk of brake fade and warping, ensuring reliable performance during spirited driving or towing.
Installation & Fitment:
These front rotors are a direct fit replacement for Dodge Dakota models from 2005 through 2010, requiring no modifications for installation. Designed as a one-piece rotor set, they install easily using standard tools and procedures. EBC recommends pairing these rotors with their Greenstuff, Yellowstuff, or Redstuff brake pads to achieve optimal braking performance and rotor longevity.
For best results, a 500-mile break-in period with moderate braking is advised to properly bed the rotors and pads together.
What's Included:
- Two (2) EBC USR BlackDash Series Sport Slotted Front Brake Rotors (312x28mm)
Ideal For:
The EBC USR Slotted Front Rotors are ideal for Dodge Dakota owners seeking enhanced braking performance with reduced noise for street and light performance driving. They are especially suited for drivers who tow or carry heavy loads and require rotors that resist warping and fading under increased thermal stress. Enthusiasts looking for a reliable upgrade that pairs perfectly with EBC’s performance brake pads will find these rotors an excellent choice.
