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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD rotors help to vent brake dust, heat, and gas away from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and maintains more consistent stopping power, especially under heavy use.

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

No, this kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock brake components. No modifications are required over the stock setup, and standard brake installation tools should suffice. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details.

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

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to speed up the process of mating the new pads to the rotors. This ensures optimal performance and reduces the time needed for the brakes to reach their full potential after installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 2002-2005 Ford Explorer's braking system, this EBC S5 kit is a solid option. It bundles EBC's GG-rated Yellowstuff brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to work together for maximum stopping effect. The Yellowstuff pads offer high friction for serious stopping power, while the GD rotors feature wide aperture slots that help vent dust, gas, and debris. This combination keeps your brakes cooler and working more consistently, especially during spirited driving or when carrying heavier loads.

The rotors in this kit have a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion, and they're designed as a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed to install them over your stock setup. The Yellowstuff pads come fully shimmed and chamfered, and include EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help them seat quickly with the new rotors. This kit is a popular choice for light trucks, SUVs, and fast street cars that need an improved braking performance over stock.
