EBC GD1998 Grooved and Dimpled Performance Front Rotors for TRW Fitment

Transform pedal feel and confidence under braking with the EBC GD1998 front rotors. Engineered for BMW 2 Series F45 and F46 models and MINI F54, F55, F56 and F57 platforms equipped with TRW front calipers, these performance discs bring cooler running, rapid gas release and a crisp bite for fast road use. The black thermic anti corrosion finish keeps hubs and vanes looking smart while helping to resist rust in UK conditions.

The wide groove pattern pulls air across the face to control temperatures and help reduce fade, while precision dimples vent combustion gases without the crack risk often associated with fully cross drilled rotors. Expect stable stopping power, tidy pad wear and repeatable performance in daily driving and spirited B road runs.

At MJ Modifications we have fitted these on customer cars and on our own builds. Feedback has been consistently positive, with owners reporting stronger initial bite, improved confidence on back-to-back stops and a clean, even contact pattern across the pads.

Why choose GD1998 for your BMW or MINI

• Grooved and dimpled face for fast gas evacuation and a positive pedal
• Wide slot geometry draws cooling airflow to help control heat and resist fade
• Dimples offer venting without through holes for reduced crack propagation risk
• Even pad contact helps maintain flat wear and consistent friction
• Black thermic protective coating for corrosion resistance and an OE plus look
• Direct replacement on vehicles with TRW front calipers or callipers

Fitment note
