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 remove dust, gas, and debris from the braking surface. This keeps the rotor cooler and cleaner, leading to more consistent and effective braking, especially under demanding street use.

How do I break in the new EBC Yellowstuff pads and rotors?

The EBC Yellowstuff pads include a patented Brake-in coating that helps to seat them quickly to the rotors. For best results, follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate stops to properly bed the pads.

What else might I need to install this brake kit?

This kit includes the pads, rotors, and caliper lube. It's always a good idea to inspect your brake calipers, brake lines, and brake fluid when replacing pads and rotors. You may also need basic hand tools and a torque wrench for proper installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your 1996-1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500's stopping power for street use, this EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit 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. The Yellowstuff pads offer a high-friction compound that provides a strong bite, while the GD rotors feature wide aperture slots that help dissipate heat, dust, gas, and debris. This combination is ideal for upgrading the braking performance on performance-oriented vehicles like your SL500.

The Yellowstuff pads in this kit come fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and include EBC's patented Brake-in coating. This coating helps to quickly seat the pads to the rotors, reducing the break-in period and ensuring you get optimal performance sooner. The included GD series rotors are vented and feature a G3000 construction with a Geomet anti-rust coating for durability and appearance. They are also designed with wide aperture slots to help keep the braking surface clean and cool, which is crucial for maintaining consistent stopping power, especially during spirited driving or repeated braking events. This kit is a direct fit, meaning it installs over your stock setup without requiring any modifications.

This kit includes everything you need for the front brakes: the Yellowstuff pads, the GD slotted rotors, and caliper lube to assist with installation. The rotors measure 320mm in diameter and are 30mm thick, with a 50mm height and a 67mm center hole diameter, designed to fit your SL500's specific hub. By purchasing this kit, you're also saving about 15% compared to buying the pads and rotors separately. EBC backs this kit with a 10,000-mile no-hassle warranty.
