What is the benefit of the EBC Brake-In coating on the pads?

The patented Brake-In coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to quickly seat the pad material onto the rotor surface. This process ensures you get optimal braking performance sooner after installation, reducing the break-in period.

Are these rotors coated to prevent rust?

Yes, the included EBC RK series rotors feature a Geomet anti-rust surface coating. This coating helps protect the rotors from corrosion, especially in wet conditions, and maintains their appearance.

What else might I need to install this brake kit?

This kit includes the pads, rotors, and caliper lube. It's recommended to have basic brake service tools on hand, and you should always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more stopping power out of your 2012 or 2013 Volkswagen Golf R, this EBC S13 kit is a solid option. It bundles EBC's Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with their RK series OEM-style rotors, giving you a significant upgrade over stock without needing to change anything on your car. This kit is designed for fast street cars and light trucks, making it a great choice for the Golf R's performance-oriented nature.

The Yellowstuff pads are EBC's flagship performance pads, offering high friction for maximum braking effect. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating, which helps seat the pads quickly onto the rotors for improved performance right away. The included RK rotors are built to OEM specifications, meaning they'll fit right in place of your original equipment. They're coated with a Geomet anti-rust finish to keep them looking good and protected from corrosion, and each rotor is balanced and tested for runout to ensure smooth, vibration-free braking. You'll also find caliper lube included in the box, which is always helpful during brake service.

Buying this kit saves you about 15% compared to purchasing the pads and rotors separately. It's a well-built package that should give you a noticeable improvement in your braking performance for spirited driving.
