What is the benefit of the slotted rotors in this kit?

The fine slots on the USR rotors help to dissipate heat and gases that build up during braking. This keeps the brakes cooler, which leads to more consistent stopping power and helps the brake pads wear evenly over time.

What does the EBC Brake-in coating on the pads do?

The patented Brake-in coating on the Greenstuff 2000 pads helps to speed up the process of mating the pad material to the rotor surface. This means you'll achieve optimal braking performance sooner after installing the new pads.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the front brake pads, front slotted rotors, and caliper lube. It is designed as a direct fit, but you may need standard brake service tools for installation.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1997 or 1998 Volkswagen Golf a noticeable boost in stopping power, especially during spirited driving or when carrying extra weight, this EBC S2 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles together everything you need to upgrade your front brakes, offering a more effective solution than buying the parts separately.

The kit features EBC's Greenstuff 2000 brake pads, which are built with Aramid fiber for improved performance and heat resistance. They come fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered, and include EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly after installation. Paired with these pads are EBC's USR fine-slotted sport rotors. These rotors are designed to help keep your brakes cooler, which leads to more consistent stopping and helps ensure your pads wear flat and parallel over time. The rotors also feature a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion.

This kit is designed as a direct fit for your Golf, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. It's a popular upgrade for sports compacts and sedans looking for improved braking performance without going overboard.
