Product Information

Full details

The EBC Brakes BSD1386 Performance Discs are engineered for driving enthusiasts who demand consistent stopping power during track days, racing, or aggressive street driving. Featuring unique blade-shaped grooves, these discs effectively vent hot gases and clear debris to prevent brake fade and promote even pad wear. While they provide a significant performance upgrade over standard OEM components, users should be aware that their aggressive design may produce more audible noise during heavy braking compared to smooth-faced street rotors.

FAQs

Are these discs street legal?

Yes, EBC BSD Performance Discs are suitable for both high-performance street use and track use.

Do I need special brake pads for these discs?

While you can use various pads, EBC recommends pairing these discs with a high-quality performance pad to fully realize the benefits of the grooved design.

How often should I replace these rotors?

Replacement intervals depend on driving style and conditions; always check the disc thickness against the minimum wear measurement etched on the rotor.

Can I install these discs myself?

If you are experienced with automotive maintenance, you can, but professional installation is recommended to ensure correct runout tolerances and safety.

Why do these discs sound different than stock ones?

The grooves allow air to move across the pad surface, which can create a light 'whirring' sound during braking; this is normal for high-performance slotted discs.

Troubleshooting

Braking vibration or pedal pulsation

Check for excessive runout due to debris on the hub or incorrect torqueing of the lug nuts.

Excessive noise under light braking

Verify that your brake pads are compatible with grooved discs and ensure that all mounting hardware is properly lubricated and torqued.

Uneven pad wear

Ensure that the brake calipers are not sticking or seizing, as this is the most common cause of uneven wear regardless of rotor type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces brake fade under high heat
  • Promotes longer and more even brake pad life
  • High-performance steel alloy construction resists thermal warping
  • Excellent for track use and spirited street driving
  • Sold as a matched pair for balanced performance

Cons

  • More audible during braking compared to standard solid discs
  • Requires proper bedding-in procedure for optimal results
  • Increased wear on brake pads due to abrasive grooved surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is vital for maximizing the longevity of your BSD1386 discs. Always ensure the wheel hubs are thoroughly cleaned of all rust and debris before installation, as even a small amount of dirt can cause disc runout. Use a dial indicator to check runout after installation to ensure the disc sits perfectly flush.

Bedding-in: It is critical to perform a proper bedding-in procedure following the manufacturer's recommendations. This involves a series of controlled stops to gradually heat the disc and transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor surface. Avoid sudden, hard stops immediately after installation. Keep the discs clean and periodically inspect them for deep scoring or heat checking.
