What is the benefit of the slots on the EBC GD series rotors?

The wide aperture slots on the GD series rotors are designed to help pull air through the rotor surface. This action helps to clear away brake dust, gas, and debris, which keeps the braking surface cleaner and allows the brakes to run cooler.

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

No, this EBC S5 kit is designed as a direct fit replacement for your stock brake components. No modifications are required over your stock setup, and it includes the necessary pads, rotors, and caliper lube to complete the job.

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

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to speed up the critical bedding-in process. This ensures the pads and rotors mate together quickly and effectively, allowing you to get maximum braking performance from the kit shortly after installation.

About this part

Product Details

The EBC S5 kit starts with G3000 GD series rotors, which are vented and feature wide aperture slots. These slots are designed to help pull air through the rotor, clearing out dust, gas, and debris. This helps keep the brakes cooler and working more effectively, especially during spirited driving. The rotors also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to help them look good and resist corrosion over time.

Paired with these rotors are EBC's Yellowstuff GG-rated pads. These are high-friction pads, meaning they 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 immediate performance improvement. This kit is a direct fit for your stock setup, meaning no modifications are needed for installation.

This kit is a solid option if you're looking for a noticeable upgrade in braking performance for your street car. It bundles the rotors, pads, and even includes caliper lube, making it a convenient way to get the parts you need for a rear brake job. The combination is designed to provide maximum brake effect for street use.
