What is the benefit of the slotted and drilled rotors?

The wide aperture slots and spot-drilled pattern on the EBC GD rotors help to remove heat, dust, gas, and debris from the braking surface. This leads to cooler brakes and more consistent stopping power, especially during spirited driving.

How do I prepare the new pads and rotors for use?

The EBC Yellowstuff pads come with a patented Brake-In coating that helps to seat them quickly and efficiently onto the rotors. It's still recommended to follow a proper bed-in procedure as outlined by EBC to achieve optimal performance.

What is included in this kit besides the pads and rotors?

In addition to the high-performance Yellowstuff pads and GD series slotted rotors, this kit also includes caliper lube to assist with installation and ensure proper component movement.
