Product Description

The EBC USR818 Ultimax slotted front rotors are a high-performance upgrade over standard OE discs. Specifically engineered for 1999-2010 VW Beetle, 1999-2005 Golf, and 1999-2004 Jetta models, these rotors feature progressive narrow slotting that vents heat, gases, and moisture - reducing brake fade under heavy use, particularly during street and occasional track driving. The silver grey Geomet coating enhances corrosion resistance and is applied directly at the casting stage to ensure longevity.

Constructed from premium British high-carbon grey iron and precision-machined for a tight OE fit (5-lug, 288 mm diameter, 25 mm thickness), these rotors keep brake pads flat and wear even. Unlike drilled alternatives, the slot design minimizes noise and eliminates crack risks, delivering reliable, quiet stopping power. They ship as a pair, include a solid 12-month/10K-mile warranty, and are compatible with OEM pads that match FMSI D687 or equivalent 1J0615301C models.

Fitment is fully verified through final model years listed above; 2011 and later VW platforms are unsupported. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a durable, quiet, and direct bolt-on upgrade for daily-driving or spirited VW performance without compromise.
