Product Description

The EBC GD1790 is a 3GD Series sport performance front brake rotor pair engineered specifically for second-generation MINI Cooper R5x models equipped with the JCW Brake Kit. Whether your MINI came from the factory as a John Cooper Works edition or you added the JCW brake upgrade to your Cooper S, these 316mm vented rotors deliver superior cooling, pad degassing, and consistent braking response across spirited canyon drives, autocross weekends, and daily commutes alike.

EBC's signature wide-aperture slotted face combined with blind-drilled dimples provides the visual aesthetic and gas evacuation benefits of drilled rotors without the structural compromises of through-drilling, which can lead to stress cracks under heat cycling. Each rotor is precision-machined from OE-spec grey cast iron, then balanced and individually runout-inspected before release. The silver Geomet corrosion-resistant coating protects non-friction surfaces against rust and complements the visual upgrade behind your MINI's wheels. These rotors are sold as a matched left/right front pair.
