EBC Slotted and Dimpled Sport Front Brake Discs for Audi B8 and C7 Platforms with TRW Calipers

Looking for a serious Audi brake upgrade that delivers cooler running, sharper bite and consistent performance in fast road use? These EBC slotted and dimpled sport front brake discs are engineered for drivers who want reliable stopping power and a quality finish that lasts. Designed for TRW front calipers on Audi A4, A5, A6, A7 and Q5 models, this is a direct-fit performance disc set that enhances braking response and pad life without compromise.

Part Number: GD1838 | Position: Front

Why choose EBC slotted and dimpled brake discs

  • Wide aperture slots draw cool air through the pad-to-disc contact area to help reduce temperatures and resist brake fade during spirited driving.
  • Dimple drilling helps avoid the stress cracks associated with full cross-drilling while aiding pad de-gassing under heavy use.
  • Thermic Black coating provides a smart OEM-plus look and helps prevent corrosion for long-lasting protection.
  • Reduced 3-slot venting design lowers air noise under hard braking while keeping the full benefit of wide slot cooling.
  • Grooved surface helps maintain flat and parallel pad wear, reducing the “record groove” effect common with plain discs for consistent pedal feel over the life of the pad and disc.

We use these discs on customer builds and the feedback has been excellent: confident braking, improved bite and dependable performance on fast road setups. If you prefer a quieter option, consider the EBC USR Ultimax series or EBC plain discs.

Helpful notes

  • As with all grooved discs, a small amount of wind noise can be heard under heavy braking. If that may concern you, choose EBC USR Ultimax or EBC plain discs.
  • For best results, follow a proper bedding-in procedure and pair with quality performance brake pads suited to your driving.
