EBC S11 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit

EBC is well-known for making brake components that offer a step up from stock, and this S11 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a prime example. If you're looking to give your 2002-2006 Kia Optima a bit more stopping confidence for everyday driving, this kit is a solid choice. It bundles together everything you need for a front brake job, including high-efficiency EBC Greenstuff 2000 pads and premium, direct-fit rotors.

The Greenstuff 2000 pads are built with Aramid fiber, which helps them perform well without needing a lot of heat. They come fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating. This coating is a real help after installation, speeding up the process of getting the pads properly seated against the rotors for consistent braking right away. The included rotors are OEM-style replacements, meaning they fit right without any modifications. They're made from G3000 iron and treated with a Geomet anti-rust coating to keep them looking good and performing well, and they're balanced and tested for runout to ensure smooth operation.

Buying this kit saves you about 15% compared to purchasing the pads and rotors separately. It's designed as a modest upgrade for spirited driving on sport compacts, providing a noticeable improvement over standard equipment without being overly aggressive for normal speeds. You'll also find caliper lube included, which is handy for the installation process.
