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

The wide-aperture slots on the GD series rotors help to vent heat, dust, and gas away from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and improves their performance, especially during hard stops or spirited driving.

Do I need to do anything special to install the Yellowstuff brake pads?

The Yellowstuff pads come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature a patented Brake-In coating. This coating helps to seat the pads quickly with the new rotors, and you should follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure for best results.

What else might I need to complete the brake job?

This kit includes the brake pads, rotors, and caliper lube. You will likely need basic brake service tools, brake cleaner, and potentially new brake fluid depending on the condition of your current system.

Product Details

EBC is known for making serious brake upgrades, and this S5 kit for your 1998-1999 Ford Contour is a prime example. If you're looking to get the most stopping power out of your street car, this kit bundles everything you need to get there. It includes EBC's GG-rated Yellowstuff high-performance brake pads and their GD series sport rotors, plus caliper lube to help with the installation.

The Yellowstuff pads are built for high friction, meaning they grab hard when you need them to. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature a patented Brake-In coating that helps them seat quickly with the new rotors. Speaking of rotors, the GD series are vented and feature wide-aperture slots. These slots are designed to help vent heat, dust, and gas away from the pad surface, which keeps your brakes cooler and working more consistently, especially during spirited driving. The rotors also get a Geomet anti-rust coating to keep them looking good even when they're not being used.

This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning it replaces your stock front brake setup without requiring any modifications. You get the pads, the rotors, and even some caliper lube to make the job smoother. It’s a solid way to significantly improve your car's braking performance for street use.
