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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively and remove dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and ensures more consistent stopping power, especially during aggressive driving.

Do I need to do anything special to break in the new pads and rotors?

Yes, the EBC Yellowstuff pads feature a patented Brake-in coating that helps seat them quickly. EBC recommends following their specific break-in procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate stops, to achieve optimal performance and longevity from the new components.

What else might I need to complete this brake job?

This kit includes the brake pads and rotors, along with caliper lube. It's always a good idea to inspect your brake fluid and consider replacing it if it's old or dirty. You may also want to have new brake hardware clips on hand, though they are not included in this kit.
