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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to vent hot gases and dust away from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and maintains consistent stopping power, especially during repeated hard braking.

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

No, this kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock brake components. No modifications or special tools beyond standard brake service equipment are typically required for installation.

How long do the EBC Yellowstuff pads typically last?

The EBC Yellowstuff pads included in this kit come with a 10,000-mile no-hassle warranty. Actual lifespan can vary based on driving habits and conditions.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1991-1999 Volkswagen Golf a serious stopping power upgrade, this EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to handle the demands of spirited street driving. The Yellowstuff pads offer maximum braking effect, while the GD rotors feature wide-aperture slots that help clear out dust, gas, and debris, keeping your brakes cooler and performing consistently, especially during harder stops.

The GD series rotors in this kit are vented and feature a G3000 slot design, which is great for dissipating heat and improving pad-to-rotor contact. They also come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion. The Yellowstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and they include EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly with the new rotors. This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning it replaces your stock setup without requiring any modifications, making the installation process straightforward.

This kit is a popular option for owners looking for a significant improvement over their factory brakes. It's a well-built package that aims to provide maximum braking performance for street use, offering a noticeable difference when you need to slow down quickly. You'll also save a bit compared to buying the pads and rotors separately.
