What is the main benefit of the EBC Yellowstuff pads and GD rotors in this kit?

The Yellowstuff pads offer high friction for a strong initial bite, while the GD rotors' slotted design helps dissipate heat and debris. Together, they provide maximum braking effect and cooler operation for street use.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit includes the front brake pads, front rotors, and caliper lube. It is designed as a direct replacement for your stock components.

How do the slotted rotors help improve braking performance?

The wide aperture slots on the GD series rotors help to vent gases, dust, and heat away from the pad surface. This keeps the braking surface cleaner and cooler, leading to more consistent stopping power, especially during repeated braking events.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Ford Explorer's stopping power for street use, the EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to work together for maximum braking effect. It's a complete front-end upgrade that directly replaces your stock components without requiring any modifications, making installation straightforward.

The Yellowstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating to ensure they seat quickly and effectively with the new rotors. These pads offer high friction for a strong bite, which is crucial for confident braking. They're paired with EBC's GD series vented sport rotors. These rotors have wide aperture slots that help dissipate heat, dust, gas, and debris more efficiently than standard rotors. This keeps your brakes cooler under load and helps maintain consistent performance, especially during spirited driving or repeated stops. The rotors also come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them during storage and transit.

This kit is specifically designed for light trucks, SUVs, and fast street cars, offering a substantial performance upgrade over your factory setup. It includes the pads, rotors, and caliper lube to help ensure a proper installation. For those seeking the best possible braking performance for everyday street driving, this EBC kit is engineered to deliver.
