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

The wide aperture slots and drilling on the EBC GD series rotors help to vent heat, dust, gas, and debris away from the braking surface. This leads to cooler brakes and more consistent stopping power, especially under demanding street use.

How do the EBC Yellowstuff pads perform?

Yellowstuff GG-rated pads are designed for high friction and maximum braking effect on the street. They offer a strong initial bite and are suitable for fast street cars and performance upgrades.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the brake pads and rotors, as well as caliper lube. It is designed as a direct fit, so you should not need additional hardware beyond standard brake service tools.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1971 Jaguar XKE a serious boost in stopping power, this EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles together EBC's top-tier Yellowstuff GG-rated brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to work together for maximum braking effect on your classic Jaguar. It’s a complete package aimed at significantly improving your car's ability to slow down, especially when you need it most on the street.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, providing a strong bite right out of the box. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating, which helps seat the pads to the rotors quickly for optimal performance from the start. Paired with these are the EBC GD series sport rotors. These aren't just standard rotors; they have wide aperture slots and are drilled, which is a smart design choice. This configuration helps keep the brakes cooler by allowing heat, dust, gas, and debris to escape more easily, leading to more consistent stopping power and less fade, even during spirited driving.

This kit is designed as a direct fit for your 1971 XKE, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. The rotors also feature a Geomet anti-rust coating to help protect them from corrosion during storage and initial use. EBC backs this kit with a 10,000-mile no-hassle warranty, giving you added peace of mind. It's a comprehensive upgrade for anyone prioritizing braking performance on their Jaguar.
