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

The wide aperture slots on the GD series rotors help to pull air across the rotor surface, which keeps them cooler during hard braking. The slots also help to expel dust, gas, and debris, which can improve braking consistency and performance.

What else might I need to complete the installation of this brake kit?

This kit includes the brake pads, rotors, and caliper lube. It's a good idea to inspect your brake lines, calipers, and brake fluid while performing the installation, and replace them if they show signs of wear or damage.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Mercedes-Benz GL450's stopping power for street use, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff brake pads with their GD series wide aperture slotted sport rotors, designed to work together for maximum braking effect. The kit includes caliper lube, making it a more complete package for your front brake upgrade.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, providing a strong bite right out of the box. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating to help seat the pads quickly and evenly onto the rotor surface. The GD series rotors are vented and feature wide aperture slots. These slots help to pull air across the rotor surface, keeping them cooler, and also help to expel dust, gas, and debris that can build up during hard braking. The rotors also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to help them look good and resist corrosion, even in harsh conditions.

This kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock setup, meaning no modifications are needed to install it. It's a popular upgrade for light trucks, SUVs, and fast street cars where enhanced braking performance is a priority. You'll get a notable improvement in stopping power, especially during repeated hard stops.
