This cooling is crucial, as temperatures at the pad contact can exceed 1000 degrees, potentially leading to brake fade or a loss of braking effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEBC GD Series sport rotors are entirely machined in the United Kingdom using R90-certified blanks, with most of these blanks cast in the EU. They offer an excellent solution for fast street cars and 4×4 vehicles. Now in their third generation, the rotors feature silver corrosion protection, while the wide aperture slots promote uniform pad wear, maintain cooler operating temperatures, and efficiently expel dirt, mud, water, and dust from the braking area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50747701362979,"sku":"PD14KR014","price":343.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5421\/0339\/files\/PD14K_1500x1500px_002c912c-ea96-47a1-a794-d377eda5b5c4.jpg?v=1772729804","url":"https:\/\/www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk\/products\/ebc-brakes-pad-and-disc-kit-pd14kr014","provider":"EBC Brake Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
