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 heat away from the braking surface more effectively. They also help to clear dust, gas, and debris, which can improve braking consistency and performance, especially during hard stops.

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

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads is designed to help seat the pads to the rotors more quickly and efficiently. This process ensures you get optimal braking performance sooner after installation.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the front brake pads, front rotors, and caliper lube. It's designed as a direct replacement for your stock components, but always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific hardware or procedures.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your BMW X3's stopping power for street use, the EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed specifically for your 2011-2018 X3, offering a direct fit without requiring any modifications to your stock setup. It bundles EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, ensuring you get a complete, high-performance braking upgrade right out of the box.

The Yellowstuff pads are built for maximum braking effect, featuring full shims, chamfers, and slots, plus EBC's patented Brake-in coating to speed up the pad seating process. These are paired with EBC's GD series vented sport rotors. These rotors have a wide aperture slot design that helps dissipate heat effectively and quickly clears dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface, which means more consistent braking performance, especially during spirited driving. The rotors also feature a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion.

This kit is a great way to get a substantial brake upgrade for your light truck or fast street car. You'll save about 15% compared to buying the pads and rotors separately. The kit includes the pads, rotors, and caliper lube to help with installation. EBC backs this kit with a 10,000-mile no-hassle warranty.
