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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to dissipate heat, brake dust, and gas that can build up during hard braking. This keeps the brakes cooler and maintains consistent stopping performance, especially during spirited driving.

Do I need any special tools or modifications to install this kit?

No, this EBC S5 kit is designed as a direct fit for your vehicle. It bolts directly onto your existing caliper and hub assembly without requiring any modifications over the stock setup.

What is the EBC Brake-In coating on the pads?

The patented Brake-In coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to speed up the bedding-in process. This means the pads and rotors will reach optimal performance more quickly after installation, ensuring you get the full benefit of the upgrade sooner.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Jaguar XK8's stopping power for spirited street driving, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It 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. This kit is specifically put together to offer a noticeable upgrade over your stock setup without requiring any modifications, making it a straightforward way to enhance your vehicle's performance.

The Yellowstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered, and feature a patented EBC Brake-In coating to ensure they seat quickly and effectively. They're matched with the GD series rotors, which have wide aperture slots. These slots are crucial for helping to dissipate heat, dust, and gas that build up during hard braking, keeping your brakes cooler and maintaining consistent performance. The rotors also come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them during storage and transit. This combination is ideal for fast street cars that demand more from their braking system.

This kit includes everything you need for the front brakes, including the pads, rotors, and caliper lube, saving you about 15% compared to buying the parts separately. It's designed as a direct fit for your Jaguar XK8, meaning it bolts right up to your existing caliper and hub assembly. You'll get a significant boost in stopping power, making your drives more confident and enjoyable.
