What is the benefit of the wide aperture slots on the EBC GD rotors?

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD rotors are designed to help pull cooler air into the rotor assembly, aiding in heat dissipation. They also help to sweep away dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface, which can improve braking consistency.

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

No, this EBC S5 kit is designed as a direct fit for your Saab 9-3, meaning no changes are required over the stock setup. It includes caliper lube to assist with installation.

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

The patented EBC Brake-In coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to accelerate the seating process between the new pads and rotors. This ensures optimal braking performance is achieved more quickly after installation.

About this part

Product Details

The EBC GD series sport rotors in this kit feature wide aperture slots. These slots are designed to help pull cool air into the rotor and also help clear out dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface. This means you get more consistent braking performance, especially when you're pushing your 2008-2011 Saab 9-3 a bit harder.

Paired with these rotors are EBC's Yellowstuff GG-rated pads. These are high-friction pads that offer a significant boost in stopping power over stock. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating, which helps seat the pads to the rotors quickly for optimal performance right away. The rotors themselves have a Geomet anti-rust coating to keep them looking good and protected.

This kit is a direct fit for your Saab 9-3, meaning no modifications are needed over the stock setup. It's a popular choice for fast street cars looking for a solid brake upgrade. You'll also get caliper lube included, which is helpful for the installation process.
