Currently EVERY SINGLE ROTOR sold in Europe and the UK is BRITISH MADE and a majority of the designs specific to the USA are also BRITISH made.The British foundry is constantly expanding its in house tooled range but EBC like every brake manufacturer ....does need occasionally to buy some rotors in from approved sources to complete ranges in overseas markets. None of our competitors will ever tell you where their rotors come from and we at EBC are as disappointed as the rest of the world that cost pressure means there is not ONE foundry left in the USA to supply such parts, other brake brands when asked about origin will just sidestep the question. When we do buy rotors in, they are specified, sampled, tested for element analysis, grain structure, tensile strength, hardness and optimum ductility and tested 100 piece by piece to be perfect for runout on this in house machine.\n\u003cbr\u003e3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotor Set; Front; For FMSI Pad No. D780; Vented; 4 Bolt Holes; 256mm Dia.; 38mm Height; 20mm Thick; 65mm Center Hole Dia.;\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRemoves Dirt Dust And Debris From Braking Zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAnodized For Protection\/Black For Domestics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eReduces Brake Fade Under Load And At Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGreat For Truck\/SUV\/Towing\/For Sedan Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAnodized For Protection\/Gold For Imports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWide Slots Helps Brakes Run Cooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EBC GD478 3GD Series Sport Slotted Front Rotors are engineered for high-performance braking on a range of Volkswagen models including the Cabriolet and Golf from the late 1980s and 1990s. Crafted from OE-spec grey cast iron, these rotors are manufactured in our UK foundry, ensuring consistent quality and durability. Each rotor is rigorously tested for element analysis, grain structure, tensile strength, hardness, and ductility, with every piece inspected for precise runout to guarantee optimal braking performance.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned with vented construction and wide slots, these rotors effectively remove dirt, dust, and debris from the braking zone, helping to maintain brake efficiency under demanding conditions. The black anodized finish provides corrosion resistance, while the wide slots help keep the brakes cooler during heavy use, reducing brake fade during spirited driving or towing. Suitable for use on trucks, SUVs, and sedans, the GD478 rotors deliver reliable stopping power and longevity.\u003cbr\u003eThese rotors are specifically made to fit models with FMSI Pad No. D780 and feature four bolt holes with a 256mm diameter and a 38mm height. The 20mm thickness and 65mm center hole diameter ensure proper fitment and performance. As part of EBC’s commitment to quality, these rotors are produced in a UK foundry, with some designs sourced from approved suppliers to meet specific market needs, assuring customers of their authenticity and performance. Whether upgrading your vehicle for improved braking performance or replacing worn components, the EBC GD478 sport rotors offer a dependable solution for your Volkswagen Cabriolet or Golf.\u003cbr\u003eTrust in EBC’s heritage of quality and British manufacturing to deliver rotors that enhance safety, reduce brake fade, and provide consistent performance under load and at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade from OE spec grey cast iron, ensuring durability and consistent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVented design for improved heat dissipation and brake cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWide slots help remove dirt, dust, and debris from the braking zone\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBlack anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eReduces brake fade under load and high-speed conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuitable for trucks, SUVs, and sedans with similar specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned to fit Volkswagen models including Cabriolet and Golf from 1987-1998\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eManufactured in a UK foundry with strict quality control standards\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrecisely tested for runout, hardness, tensile strength, and grain structure\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48143521808539,"sku":"ebcGD478","price":243.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5131\/1259\/files\/dd5018bbf7c3f00d1efc799a70eab387_87b6e5c4-04e6-47bd-b7fb-79d3064e46b7.jpg?v=1773850899","url":"https:\/\/sr1performance.com\/products\/ebc-gd478-3gd-series-sport-slotted-front-rotors-for-volkswagen-cabriolet-and-golf","provider":"SR1 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
