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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD rotors help to vent brake dust, gas, and heat away from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and helps maintain consistent stopping power, especially during repeated hard braking.

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

No, this kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock brake components. No modifications are required over the stock setup, and standard brake installation tools should suffice. Always refer to manufacturer instructions for specific details.

What is the EBC Brake-in coating on the pads?

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to accelerate the bedding-in process. This means the pads and rotors can reach optimal performance more quickly after installation, providing better initial braking.
