What is the benefit of slotted and drilled rotors?

The slots and drilled holes on the GD series rotors help to vent gases and dust away from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and allows for more consistent friction, especially during hard braking.

Do I need to do anything special to install these pads?

The Yellowstuff pads come fully shimmed and chamfered, and include EBC's Brake-In coating to help them seat quickly. The kit also includes caliper lube. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for complete details.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your Saturn SC, SL, or SW a serious brake upgrade for spirited street driving, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's flagship Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with their GD series slotted and drilled rotors, designed to handle the heat and dust generated during harder stops. This kit is built to be a direct replacement for your stock setup, meaning no modifications are needed to install it.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction output, giving you more stopping power right when you need it. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating to help seat them quickly against the rotors. The GD series rotors are vented and feature wide apertures with spot drilling, which helps to dissipate heat and clear out dust and debris more effectively than standard rotors. This combination is great for keeping your brakes cooler and performing consistently, especially on faster street cars and muscle cars.

This kit includes everything you need for the front brakes, including the pads, rotors, and caliper lube. The rotors also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to help them look good and resist corrosion, even when they're not being used regularly. It's a well-built package designed to give you a noticeable improvement in braking performance for a wide range of vehicles.
