EBC Stage 8 Dimpled and Slotted Rear Brake Rotor and Pad Kit 03-08 Ram HD

Sure, you've got all of the power to haul 15,000 pounds over a 10% grade, but have you got the brakes to make sure you can STOP? That's where EBC comes into play. The professionals at EBC have become the industry standard when it comes to extremely high-quality rotors and pads that truly make a HUGE difference in your vehicle's ability to safely make your way down those treacherous descends without fear of brake failure.
EBC is a world leader in the performance braking industry. Now, when we're talking "performance braking," that doesn't necessarily mean you're running the Baja 1000, it means anyone that demands substantially better braking than what their vehicle came from the factory with. Further, better braking doesn't simply mean how quickly your brakes react to your brake pedal input, but also how resistant your brakes are to heat and fatigue from sustained pedal apply pressure. Performance brakes mean that you and your family get to the bottom of the hill with your camp trailer safely, that's what "performance brakes" means to most.

The Stage 8 Brake kit from EBC is arguably the best brake kit available for your truck or off-road vehicle. Not only will you love the ease of an easy bolt-and-go brake kit, but you'll also love the look of the dimpled and slotted rotors coupled with the Extra Duty Plus Pads.

Extra Duty Plus Brake Pad Specifics:

Previously created for the track, EBC has redesigned their Extra Duty Plus brake pads to accommodate extra-duty vehicles, in other words, your Truck can now be outfitted with the industry leader's leading brake material! Extra Duty Plus brake pads work seamlessly with EBC's dimpled and slotted rotors to create a harmonious state of braking.

Extra Duty Plus Pads feature a surface coating that results in a faster, better break-in. The carbon granule-based pad material also means much less noise and dust while braking. The pad itself is attached to the backing plate using an NRS hook system in which hundreds of tiny hooks create a permanent bond between the backing plate and the brake pad. This bond means no chance of pad separation and a longer life for the brake. The large V-shaped groove(s) in the pad help vent the pad and promote better cooling in the hot centers of the pad. All of the Stage 8 Extra Duty Plus kits also include Nuloc piston inserts that go inside the brake caliper piston to butt up to the pad stopping vibration and noise.

Dimpled and Slotted Rotor Specifics:

EBC's Dimpled and Slotted rotors are a standard in all of their performance brake kits. These rotors have a full sweep groove pattern that helps keep the surface of your brake pads clean by scraping away burnt carbon deposits from the brake's surface. In addition to the grooves, these rotors have some blind hole dimples that help provide stability and prevent the rotor from cracking. Aside from looking completely awesome, these features prevent brake fade by helping evacuate gases from the surface of the rotor as well as draw more heat from the surface of the disc.

The kit includes a pair of rear rotors and corresponding rear pads.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Recent global supply and facility changes have resulted in EBC needing to move with those changes. EBC has been very careful to maintain quality standards as they move forward. As a result, EBC is in the process of phasing out rotors with the black finish, therefore you might receive rotors without it. The following image shows EBC's transition from Gen-1 through Gen-3 brake rotors and finishes.
