EBC GD Sport Slotted and Dimpled Rear Rotors

2014+ Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L Turbo

Part #: GD1704

Overview

The EBC GD Sport Slotted and Dimpled Rear Rotors are designed to enhance your Fiat 500 Abarth's braking performance while adding a sleek, aggressive look to your vehicle's wheel setup. Crafted with a focus on improved cooling and reduced brake fade, these rotors are ideal for daily drivers who enjoy spirited driving and occasional sport driving. Whether you're commuting through city streets or pushing your car on the weekends, these rotors help ensure consistent, reliable braking performance.

Manufactured in the U.K., the GD Sport rotors combine functional engineering with aesthetic appeal, making them a popular choice among enthusiasts seeking both form and function. Their unique design features wide aperture slots and dimple drilling, which work together to dissipate heat more effectively, helping to maintain optimal brake temperatures during demanding driving conditions. This results in improved braking response, reduced brake fade, and enhanced overall safety.

Key Features

The EBC GD Sport rotors incorporate several advanced features that set them apart from standard brake components:

• Wide aperture slots for increased airflow and heat dissipation, reducing operating temperatures and preventing brake fade during spirited driving or heavy braking.
• Dimple drilling pattern that minimizes stress cracks and enhances rotor durability, ensuring long-lasting performance even under aggressive use.
• Thermic black finish with a sleek, modern appearance that resists corrosion and maintains a clean look over time.
• Made from high-quality cast iron with precision machining to ensure perfect fitment and smooth operation.
• Slotted and dimpled design that improves brake pad bite and reduces brake dust buildup, contributing to cleaner wheels and better braking feel.
• Suitable for a variety of driving conditions, including daily commuting, city driving, and light sport driving, making them versatile for many Fiat 500 Abarth owners.

Construction & Design

The GD Sport rotors are constructed from durable cast iron, engineered to withstand high temperatures and intense braking forces. The slotted design is machined with precision to ensure consistent slot depth and spacing, optimizing heat dissipation and pad contact. The dimple drilling pattern is carefully arranged to prevent stress cracks that can occur with traditional drilled rotors, extending the lifespan of the component. The black e-coating not only provides an attractive finish but also offers corrosion resistance, protecting the rotors from road salts and environmental elements.

Installation & Fitment

The EBC GD Sport rotors are a direct bolt-on replacement for the rear rotors on 2014 and newer Fiat 500 Abarth models. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic hand tools and standard brake service procedures. No cutting, drilling, or special modifications are necessary. For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously and inspect the brake system for wear. Proper bedding-in of the new rotors and pads will ensure maximum performance and longevity.
