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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to clear away brake dust, gas, and debris. This keeps the pad surface cleaner and allows for better contact with the rotor, which helps prevent brake fade and maintains consistent stopping power.

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

No, this EBC S5 kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock front brake components. You should not need any special tools beyond what's typically required for a brake job, and no modifications to your vehicle are necessary.

How long do the Yellowstuff pads typically last?

EBC rates these Yellowstuff pads for a 10,000-mile 'No Hassle' warranty. Actual lifespan can vary based on driving habits and conditions, but they are designed for high-performance street use.

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your Saab 9-3's braking system for spirited street driving, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to significantly improve stopping power over stock. This kit is specifically put together to give you a noticeable upgrade without requiring any modifications to your factory setup.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, providing strong initial bite and consistent performance even under harder use. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature a patented Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly with the rotors. 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 pads making solid contact and prevents fade. The rotors also get a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion.

This kit includes everything you need for the front brakes, including the pads, rotors, and caliper lube, and it's designed as a direct replacement for your stock components. You'll save about 15% compared to buying these parts separately. It's a comprehensive package aimed at delivering maximum braking performance for street applications.
