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

The patented Brake-In coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to quickly seat the pads to the rotors during the initial bedding-in process. This ensures you get optimal braking performance sooner after installation.

Do I need any special tools to install this kit?

This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning it bolts on in place of your stock components. You will need standard brake service tools, such as jack stands, a lug wrench, a socket set, and potentially a C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool for retracting the caliper piston.

What is the difference between slotted and drilled rotors?

Slotted rotors, like the GD series in this kit, have grooves machined into the surface. These slots help to sweep away dust, gas, and heat from the pad surface, which improves braking consistency and reduces fade. Drilled rotors have holes, which also help with cooling and gas evacuation but can sometimes lead to cracking over time with heavy use.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1999-2004 Audi A6 Quattro a serious brake upgrade, this EBC S5 kit is a solid option. It bundles EBC's Yellowstuff high-friction pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to work together for maximum stopping effect. This kit is specifically for the rear brakes and includes everything you need to get them swapped out, including caliper lube and EBC's patented Brake-In coating on the pads to help them seat quickly.

The Yellowstuff pads are rated for high friction, meaning they bite hard when you need them to, and they come fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted for quiet operation. Paired with the GD series rotors, which feature wide apertures and a slotted design, this setup helps keep your brakes cooler by efficiently clearing out dust, gas, and debris. This improved airflow and debris removal means more consistent performance, especially during spirited driving or when you need to stop in a hurry. The rotors also get a Geomet anti-rust coating to help them look good and resist corrosion.

This kit is a direct fit for your A6 Quattro, meaning no modifications are needed over the stock setup. It's a popular choice for fast street cars looking for a significant improvement in braking performance.
