Part #: GD005

Overview

The EBC GD Sport Front Rotors are designed to enhance your Lotus Esprit's braking performance while adding a sleek, aggressive look to your vehicle's wheel setup. Crafted with both style and functionality in mind, these rotors are an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved cooling, reduced brake fade, and a striking appearance. Whether you're daily driving, commuting, or enjoying spirited driving on the weekends, these rotors deliver reliable stopping power and durability.

Constructed in the U.K., the GD Sport rotors feature advanced slotting and dimple drilling techniques that help dissipate heat more effectively, ensuring your brakes stay cooler under demanding conditions.

• Ideal for daily driving, commuting, and light sport driving, offering a balance of performance, style, and reliability.

Construction & Design

The GD Sport rotors are engineered with precision to meet the demands of both everyday driving and spirited use. The rotors feature a one-piece cast iron construction with a thermic black coating that resists corrosion and enhances durability.
