What is the main benefit of the EBC Yellowstuff pads?

The Yellowstuff pads are designed for high friction, providing maximum braking effect for street use. They are also fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted to ensure optimal performance and quiet operation.

How do the GD series rotors help my brakes perform better?

The wide aperture slots and spot drilling on the GD rotors help to vent heat and remove dust, gas, and debris. This keeps the brakes cooler and maintains consistent performance, especially during harder braking events.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the brake pads and rotors, along with caliper lube to help with installation. It's designed as a direct replacement for your stock setup, but always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for complete details.

About this part

Product Details

The EBC GD series rotors in this kit feature wide aperture slots and a spot-drilled pattern. This design helps to vent heat and remove dust, gas, and debris more effectively than standard rotors, keeping your brakes cooler and performing better during street use. They are paired with EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction pads, which are fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted. These pads are designed for maximum braking effect on your street vehicle.

This S5 kit is a direct fit for your 1985-1990 Volkswagen Golf or Jetta, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. The rotors come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion, and the kit includes caliper lube to assist with installation. EBC's patented Brake-In coating on the pads helps to seat them quickly onto the new rotors, getting you back on the road with improved stopping power sooner.

This is a popular choice for owners looking to upgrade their street car's braking performance. The combination of high-friction pads and vented, slotted rotors offers a notable improvement for daily driving and spirited use.
