EBC USR Brake Rotors

Part #: USR7171

Overview

The EBC USR BlackDash Series Sport Slotted Front Brake Rotors are high-performance replacement components designed for enthusiasts seeking improved braking response and cooling efficiency. Crafted for the 2003-2012 Mazda RX-8 with a 1.3 rotary engine, these rotors combine advanced engineering with durable materials to enhance your vehicle’s stopping power and reliability. Whether you're upgrading for spirited driving or daily commuting, these rotors help maintain consistent brake performance under demanding conditions, supporting your vehicle’s safety and handling characteristics.

Key Features

Designed with precision and performance in mind, these rotors feature:

• Multiple slots in a narrow, angled pattern for quieter operation and enhanced heat dissipation
• Vented center for even temperature moderation and reduced warping risk
• Corrosion-resistant protective finish on non-contact areas for durability
• Anodized layer that disappears in contact areas to ensure optimal brake pad contact
• One-piece construction for strength and reliability
• Optimized for high-performance braking and extended service life

Construction & Design

The rotors are constructed from high-quality cast iron with a vented design that promotes efficient heat transfer. The slotted surface not only improves braking response but also helps remove debris and gases from the pad surface, maintaining consistent contact and reducing brake fade during aggressive driving or heavy use. The protective coating enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in harsh conditions.

Driving Feel & Feedback

The slotted design provides a responsive and confident braking feel, with improved modulation and reduced brake fade. The slots help channel away heat and gases, resulting in a more stable pedal feel and consistent stopping power, especially during repeated or prolonged braking sessions.

Installation & Fitment

These rotors are designed as direct replacements for the original equipment on compatible Mazda RX-8 models. Proper installation requires standard hand tools and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What’s Included

Each pack includes two front rotors, ready for installation on your vehicle.
