What is the main benefit of the EBC GD series slotted rotors?

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

How do I get the best performance from the Yellowstuff pads?

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

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this EBC S5 kit includes both the front brake pads and the front brake rotors, along with caliper lube. It's designed as a complete front brake upgrade.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Mazda 3's stopping power for spirited street driving, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's flagship Yellowstuff street performance pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to handle the heat and demands of faster driving. This kit is engineered to be a direct replacement for your stock setup, meaning no modifications are needed to install it. You'll get a noticeable boost in braking performance, especially during repeated stops.

The Yellowstuff pads are a high-friction compound, built for maximum stopping effect on the street. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, with a patented Brake-In coating that helps seat the pads quickly to the rotors for optimal performance right away. Paired with these are the EBC GD series rotors. These feature wide aperture slots that help vent dust, gas, and debris away from the pad surface, keeping your brakes cooler and maintaining consistent performance. The rotors also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from the elements.

This kit is a great way to get a complete front brake upgrade from a well-known brand. It's designed for light trucks, SUVs, and fast street cars, making it a perfect fit for the Mazda 3.
