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

The wide aperture slots and spot drilling on the EBC GD series rotors help to remove brake dust, gas, and debris. This keeps the rotor surface cleaner and helps dissipate heat more effectively, leading to more consistent braking performance, especially under heavy use.

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

No, this EBC S5 kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock brake components. No modifications are required over the stock setup, and it includes caliper lube to assist with installation.

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

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to speed up the bedding process when installing new pads and rotors. This ensures the pads seat properly with the rotor surface quickly, allowing you to achieve optimal braking performance sooner.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your 2013-2019 Ford Explorer's stopping power for street use, the 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 level of friction, while the GD rotors feature wide aperture slots that help remove dust, gas, and debris, keeping your brakes cooler and performing more consistently, especially during spirited driving.

The rotors in this kit are EBC's GD series, which are vented and feature a G3000 slot pattern with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect against corrosion. They are specifically designed with wide apertures and spot drilling to aid in heat dissipation and the removal of brake dust and gases, which can otherwise reduce pad performance. The Yellowstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and come with EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly with the new rotors. This kit is a direct fit for your stock setup, meaning no modifications are needed for installation.

This EBC S5 kit is a comprehensive upgrade for your Explorer, offering a noticeable improvement in braking performance over the factory components. It's a popular option for trucks, SUVs, and fast street cars where maximum street braking is desired. The kit includes the necessary pads, rotors, and caliper lube to get the job done. EBC backs this kit with a 10,000-mile no-hassle warranty.
