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

The fine slots on the USR rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively, keeping your brakes cooler during hard use. They also help to maintain a flat and parallel surface on the brake pads, which can lead to more consistent braking performance and longer pad life.

What is the EBC Brake-in coating?

The patented Brake-in coating on the Greenstuff pads helps to speed up the process of seating the pads to the rotors after installation. This means you get improved braking performance sooner after installing the kit, without a long break-in period.

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 should always refer to your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for specific installation procedures and any additional hardware that may be required.

Product Details

EBC is known for making well-built brake components, and this S2KF1327 kit is a great example of that. If you're looking to give your 1996-1998 Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, or Passat a noticeable boost in stopping power, especially during spirited driving or when carrying extra load, this kit is a solid choice. It bundles together everything you need to upgrade your front brakes, saving you the hassle of sourcing individual parts.

Inside this kit, you'll find EBC's Greenstuff 2000 brake pads, which are built with Aramid fiber and come fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered. They also feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating, which helps them seat properly after installation for immediate improved performance. These pads are paired with EBC's USR fine-slotted sport rotors. The slots help keep the rotors cooler and promote a more consistent pad surface, leading to perfect flat and parallel pad wear over time. The rotors are finished with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion, and the kit includes caliper lube to help with installation.

This kit is designed as a direct fit for your vehicle, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. It's an excellent way to get improved braking performance for your sports compact or sedan.
