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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to sweep away brake dust, gas, and debris. This keeps the pad surface cleaner and cooler, leading to more consistent braking performance, especially during repeated hard stops.

Are these pads noisy for daily driving?

EBC's Yellowstuff pads are designed for high performance on the street. While they offer improved stopping power, they are generally well-behaved for daily driving, though some minor noise may be present under certain conditions due to their performance compound.

What is included in the EBC S5 kit?

The EBC S5 kit includes a full set of front brake pads, front brake rotors, and caliper lube. It is designed to be a complete front brake upgrade for your vehicle.
