What is the main benefit of the EBC Yellowstuff pads in this kit?

The Yellowstuff pads are designed for high friction, which translates to maximum brake effect for street use. They are also pre-coated with EBC's Brake-In coating to help them seat quickly with the new rotors.

How do the slotted rotors in this kit help my brakes?

The wide-aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to vent dust, gas, and debris away from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and helps maintain consistent stopping power, especially during harder braking.

Does this kit include everything I need to replace my rear brake pads and rotors?

Yes, this S5 kit includes the rear brake pads, the rear brake rotors, and caliper lube. It's designed as a direct replacement for your stock setup, meaning no additional modifications are typically required.

About this part

Product Details

EBC is well-known for making performance brake components, and their S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a popular choice for drivers looking to improve their vehicle's stopping ability. This particular kit, the S5KR1249, is designed specifically for the rear brakes of your 2011-2018 Kia Sportage, offering a direct fit without needing any modifications over your stock setup.

Inside this kit, you'll find EBC's GG-rated Yellowstuff brake pads. These pads are known for their high friction compound, which means they can generate significant stopping power, making them a great choice for street use, especially if you drive your Sportage a bit more spiritedly. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature a patented EBC Brake-In coating to help them seat quickly with your new rotors. The rotors themselves are from EBC's GD series, featuring wide-aperture slots. These slots are designed to help vent dust, gas, and debris away from the pad surface, which keeps the brakes cooler and maintains consistent performance, especially during harder braking events. The rotors also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to help them look good and resist corrosion.

This kit bundles these components together, often saving you a bit compared to buying the pads and rotors separately. It's a solid option if you're looking for a noticeable upgrade in your Sportage's braking performance for everyday driving.
