2001–2003 Acura CL 3.2L V6

Part #: GD7146

Overview

The EBC GD Sport Rear Rotors are designed to enhance your Acura CL's braking performance while adding a sleek, aggressive look to your vehicle's wheel setup. Crafted with precision and engineered for durability, these rotors are an excellent upgrade for drivers seeking improved cooling, reduced brake fade, and a stylish appearance. Whether you're daily commuting, running errands, or enjoying spirited driving, these rotors provide reliable stopping power and a distinctive aesthetic.

Made in the U.K., the GD Sport Rotors combine functional engineering with visual appeal, making them a popular choice among enthusiasts who want a balance of performance and style. Their wide aperture slots facilitate better heat dissipation, helping to keep brake temperatures low during demanding driving conditions. This results in more consistent braking performance and extended rotor life, especially under spirited or frequent use.

Key Features

The EBC GD Sport Rotors incorporate several innovative features designed to optimize braking efficiency and durability:

• Wide aperture slots for enhanced cooling and heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during aggressive driving or heavy braking scenarios.
• Thermic black finish with a sleek, modern look that resists corrosion and maintains aesthetic appeal over time.
• Dimples drilled into the rotor surface help prevent stress cracks by evenly distributing stress across the rotor, increasing longevity and reliability.
• Constructed from high-quality materials that ensure strength and durability, suitable for daily driving and occasional spirited driving.
• Black e-coating provides an additional layer of corrosion resistance, protecting against road salts and environmental elements.
• Manufactured in the U.K., ensuring high standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Construction & Design

The GD Sport Rotors feature a one-piece construction made from premium cast iron, designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving and performance use. The wide aperture slots are precisely machined to improve airflow and cooling efficiency, which helps maintain optimal brake temperatures and reduces the likelihood of brake fade. The dimple drilling pattern not only adds to the visual appeal but also enhances the structural integrity of the rotor by preventing stress cracks that can develop under high thermal cycles.

The thermic black finish is applied through a durable coating process that resists corrosion and maintains a sleek appearance. The combination of slotting and dimple drilling creates a balanced design that improves braking response while offering a stylish upgrade over stock rotors. These rotors are engineered to fit seamlessly with your vehicle's existing brake components, ensuring a straightforward installation process.

Installation & Fitment

The EBC GD Sport Rear Rotors are a direct bolt-on upgrade for your Acura CL 3.2L V6 from 2001 to 2003. No cutting, drilling, or modifications are required for installation. It is recommended to replace both rear rotors simultaneously to ensure even braking performance and pad wear. For optimal results, inspect and replace brake pads if necessary, and consider bleeding the brake system to maintain proper hydraulic function.
