What's included in the EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit?

This kit includes EBC Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads and EBC GD series vented sport rotors for the rear of your vehicle. It also comes with caliper lube to assist with installation.

Do I need any special tools or modifications for installation?

No, this kit is designed as a direct fit upgrade. No changes are required over your stock brake setup, making installation straightforward for a mechanic.

How do the slotted and drilled rotors benefit my braking?

The wide aperture slots and spot drilling on the GD rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively and remove dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface. This leads to cooler brakes and more consistent stopping power, especially during hard braking.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to give your 1997-2003 BMW 540i a serious brake upgrade, this EBC S5 kit is a solid option. You get everything you need for the rear brakes in one box: EBC's GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction pads and their GD series vented sport rotors. These aren't just standard replacement parts; they're designed to offer a significant improvement in stopping performance for fast street driving.

The Yellowstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and they come with EBC's Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly. Paired with the GD rotors, which feature wide apertures and spot drilling, you get better cooling and faster removal of dust, gas, and debris. This combination helps maintain consistent braking power, especially during spirited driving. The rotors also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to keep them looking good and protected.

This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. It's a popular choice for owners of fast street sedans looking for maximum braking effect without compromising daily drivability. You'll also save a bit compared to buying these high-performance parts separately.
