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

The wide aperture slots on the GD series rotors help to vent hot gases, dust, and debris away from the pad surface. This keeps the rotor and pad cooler and ensures more consistent friction for better braking performance.

Do I need any special tools or modifications to install this brake kit?

No, this EBC S5 kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock brake components. No changes are required over the stock setup, making installation straightforward for a mechanic.

What is the EBC Brake-in coating on the pads?

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads is a surface treatment that helps to quickly seat the pads to the rotor surface. This process ensures optimal performance from your new brakes shortly after installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1971-1974 Jaguar XKE a serious brake upgrade for street use, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to work together for maximum stopping power. The kit includes everything you need to get started, even caliper lube, and offers a noticeable improvement over stock without requiring any modifications to your existing setup.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, providing strong initial bite and consistent performance. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, with a patented EBC Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly. Paired with the GD series rotors, which feature wide apertures and slotting, this setup is built to keep cool under pressure. The slots help clear out dust, gas, and debris, ensuring the pads maintain solid contact with the rotor surface, which is crucial for reliable braking, especially during spirited driving.

These vented rotors measure 284mm in diameter and are designed with a 5-bolt pattern, fitting directly onto your XKE's hub. The GD series rotors also benefit from a Geomet anti-rust coating to help protect them from the elements when not in use. This kit is a popular option for owners looking for a significant performance boost for their fast street cars, offering a substantial upgrade over the original equipment.
