What is the main benefit of the slotted rotors in this kit?

The wide-aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to dissipate heat, brake dust, and gas that can build up during braking. This keeps the brakes cooler and helps maintain consistent stopping performance, especially during hard use.

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

This kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock front brakes, meaning no modifications are required. However, it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific tool or hardware requirements, and to ensure proper brake system maintenance.

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 mate the pad material to the rotor surface. This process ensures the pads and rotors work together effectively from the start, reducing the break-in period and maximizing initial braking performance.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Mercedes E500's stopping power for street use, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to handle the demands of faster street driving and heavier vehicles. This kit is a direct replacement for your stock setup, meaning no modifications are needed to install it, making the upgrade straightforward.

The Yellowstuff pads are built for maximum braking effect, offering a strong initial bite and consistent performance. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating, which helps seat the pads quickly to the rotors for optimal performance right away. The accompanying GD series rotors are vented and feature wide-aperture slots. These slots are crucial for helping to dissipate heat, dust, and gas that build up during braking, which keeps the brakes cooler and maintains their effectiveness, especially during spirited driving or repeated stops. The rotors also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion.

This kit is designed to provide a noticeable upgrade over your factory brakes. It's a popular option for owners of performance sedans and sports cars looking for that extra confidence when they need to slow down quickly. You'll get the pads, rotors, and caliper lube all in one package, saving you a bit compared to buying each component separately.
