For performance road car owners experiencing brake fade and inconsistent performance under heavy use, EBC Ultimax USR Slotted Brake Discs offer improved stopping power and longevity. While they enhance braking, they may produce slightly more noise than standard discs. These discs feature a unique slotting pattern designed to improve cooling, clean the pad surface, and reduce pad fade, ensuring consistent performance and a longer lifespan for your brake pads. They also come with a durable, black corrosion-resistant finish for lasting aesthetics.

Yes, EBC Ultimax USR Slotted Discs are designed for performance road cars and are suitable for daily driving. They are engineered to improve braking performance without significant compromise in comfort.
It is highly recommended to replace brake pads when installing new discs. This ensures optimal performance, prevents uneven wear, and allows for proper bedding-in of the new pad and rotor combination.
The slots help to break down surface gases, allow heat to dissipate more effectively by pulling cool air under the pad, and remove dust and debris from the pad surface. This reduces brake fade and maintains consistent performance.
The lifespan of brake discs varies depending on driving style, conditions, and maintenance. However, the Ultimax USR discs are designed for durability and longevity, especially when paired with appropriate brake pads and maintained correctly.
Due to their slotted design, these discs may produce slightly more audible feedback during braking compared to standard solid discs. This is a characteristic of performance-oriented slotted rotors.
USR typically refers to EBC's 'Ultimax' series, indicating a specific design and performance level within their product range for enhanced street performance.
The EBC Ultimax USR280 are specified as rear brake discs. Fitment for front applications may vary, and you should consult the EBC Brakes product catalog or a parts specialist for the correct front disc part number for your vehicle.
Some increase in audible noise compared to standard discs is normal due to the slotted design. Ensure brake pads are correctly bedded-in. If noise is excessive or unusual, consult a mechanic to check for installation issues or component wear.
Verify that the discs are compatible with your vehicle and have been installed correctly. Ensure the brake pads are also suitable for performance use and have undergone the proper bedding-in procedure. Check for any leaks or issues within the hydraulic brake system.
The black finish is designed for corrosion resistance, but light surface rust can appear after exposure to moisture, especially on the non-friction areas. This typically wears off during normal braking. If significant corrosion is present on the braking surface, inspect for damage or improper installation.
Setup:
Installation of EBC Ultimax USR Slotted Brake Discs should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct fitment and safety. Proper bedding-in procedures, as recommended by EBC Brakes and your chosen brake pads, are crucial for achieving optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, followed by a cool-down period.
Compatibility:
These discs (USR280) are designed for the rear axle of specific performance road cars. Always verify fitment with your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchase. Consult your vehicle's owner manual or a parts specialist to confirm compatibility.
