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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD rotors help to pull air into the rotor for better cooling. They also help to sweep away dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface, which can lead to more consistent braking performance.

How do the Yellowstuff pads improve braking?

Yellowstuff pads are rated for high friction, meaning they create more stopping power when pressed against the rotor. They are also designed with a Brake-In coating to help them seat quickly onto the rotor surface for reduced break-in time.

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this kit includes the EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and EBC GD series slotted rotors for the front of your vehicle, along with caliper lube to assist with installation.

About this part

Product Details

The EBC GD series sport rotors in this kit feature wide aperture slots. These slots are designed to help pull cool air into the rotor and also help clear out dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface. This means you get more consistent braking performance, especially when you're pushing your car a bit harder on the street. Paired with the EBC Yellowstuff GG rated pads, which offer high friction for maximum stopping power, this kit is a solid option for upgrading the front brakes on your 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat.

These Yellowstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and they come with EBC's patented Brake-In coating. This coating helps to seat the pads quickly onto the rotors, reducing the break-in time and getting you back on the road with improved braking sooner. The GD rotors themselves are vented and feature a Geomet anti-rust coating to help protect them from corrosion, keeping them looking good and performing well. This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning it replaces your stock front brake setup without requiring any modifications.

This kit bundles the pads and rotors together, offering a cost saving compared to buying them separately. It's a complete front brake upgrade for your Passat, Golf, Jetta, or Cabriolet, aimed at providing a noticeable improvement in stopping performance for daily driving and spirited street use.
