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

The wide aperture slots and drilling on the GD series rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively. They also aid in clearing out dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface, which helps maintain consistent braking performance, especially during hard stops.

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

The EBC Yellowstuff pads come with a patented Brake-in coating designed to help seat them quickly. For optimal performance, it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's specific bed-in procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate stops.

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this EBC S5 kit is designed to be a complete front brake upgrade. It includes the high-friction Yellowstuff brake pads, the GD series slotted and drilled sport rotors, and caliper lube.
