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

The slots on the GD series rotors help to remove dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cleaner and allows them to run cooler, which leads to more consistent and effective stopping power, especially during hard braking.

Are the Yellowstuff pads noisy?

The Yellowstuff pads are designed for high friction and performance. While they are fully shimmed and chamfered to help reduce noise, some brake pad compounds can produce more noise than standard OEM pads, particularly during initial break-in or under certain braking conditions.

What is included in the EBC S5 kit besides pads and rotors?

This kit includes the EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and EBC GD series sport rotors. It also comes with caliper lube to assist with installation and ensure proper component movement.

Product Details

EBC is known for making performance brake components, and this S5 kit is a solid option if you're looking to uprate the stopping power on your Volkswagen Jetta. This kit bundles their flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to work together for a significant improvement in street braking performance.

The Yellowstuff pads are built for high friction, meaning they grab harder than stock pads, and they come fully shimmed and chamfered for a quieter operation. They also feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating, which helps seat the pads quickly to the rotors for immediate performance gains. The accompanying GD sport rotors are vented and feature wide apertures with slots. These slots help clear out dust, gas, and debris, keeping the pad surface cleaner and allowing the brakes to run cooler, which is crucial for consistent stopping power, especially during spirited driving.

This kit is a direct fit for your Jetta, meaning no modifications are needed over the stock setup. It's a complete rear brake upgrade that aims to give you maximum braking effect for street use.
