What is the benefit of the slots on the EBC GD rotors?

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD rotors are designed to help vent dust, gas, and debris away from the pad surface. This helps keep the brakes cooler and maintains consistent performance, especially during hard braking.

Do the EBC Yellowstuff pads require a break-in period?

Yes, the Yellowstuff pads come with EBC's patented Brake-In coating. This coating helps to quickly seat the pads to the rotors, ensuring optimal performance shortly after installation.

What is included in the EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit?

This kit includes EBC Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads, EBC GD series slotted and vented sport rotors, and caliper lube. It's designed to be a complete front brake upgrade.

Product Details

The EBC GD series rotors in this kit feature wide aperture slots. These slots are designed to help vent dust, gas, and debris away from the pad surface, keeping your brakes cooler and more effective, especially during spirited driving or when you need maximum stopping power. They're paired with EBC's GG-rated Yellowstuff pads, which offer high friction for a significant boost in braking performance over stock. These pads come fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and include EBC's patented Brake-In coating to help them seat quickly with the new rotors.

This kit is a solid option if you're looking to upgrade the braking system on your 1997 or 1998 Volkswagen Golf.

The vented, slotted rotors measure 256mm in diameter and are coated with a Geomet anti-rust finish to help protect them from corrosion. This combination aims to provide maximum brake effect for street use, making it a popular choice for fast street cars.
