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

The patented EBC Brake-in coating helps to speed up the process of seating the new pads to the rotors. This means you can achieve optimal braking performance sooner after installation.

What does 'fully shimmed and chamfered' mean for the brake pads?

Shims are layers that help reduce noise and vibration, leading to quieter braking. Chamfering is rounding the edges of the pad material to prevent curling and improve contact with the rotor surface.

Are these rotors solid or vented?

The EBC RK series rotors included in this kit are solid rotors, designed as direct replacements for the original equipment style.

Product Details

This EBC S13 kit is built around the GG-rated Yellowstuff pads, which offer high friction for maximum braking effect. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature a patented EBC Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly. These pads are paired with EBC's RK series rotors, which are OEM-style replacements designed for smooth braking. The rotors are coated with a Geomet anti-rust surface, balanced, and tested for runout to ensure they perform well right out of the box.

This kit is a popular choice for fast street cars and light trucks or SUVs looking for a sport upgrade over stock. You get the benefit of buying the pads and rotors together, often saving you about 15% compared to purchasing them separately. The Yellowstuff pads are known for their strong initial bite, and the Geomet coating on the rotors helps prevent rust during storage and initial use, keeping them looking good and performing consistently.

This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. It includes the pads, rotors, and caliper lube to help with installation.
