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

The wide-aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to sweep away dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface. This keeps the braking surface cleaner and cooler, leading to more consistent stopping power and reduced brake fade, especially during spirited driving.

Do I need any special tools or additional parts for installation?

This kit is designed as a direct fit and includes the brake pads, slotted rotors, and caliper lube. While basic brake service tools are required, no specialized modifications or additional major components are typically needed beyond standard brake hardware.

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

The patented Brake-In coating on the Yellowstuff pads is a surface treatment that helps to quickly and efficiently mate the pad material to the rotor surface. This process ensures optimal braking performance is achieved shortly after installation, reducing the break-in period.

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Audi Q5's stopping performance, especially for spirited street driving, this EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to replace your stock rear brake components with an upgraded setup that offers maximum braking effect and better heat dissipation. It's a complete package, meaning you get everything you need to get your brakes performing at a higher level.

At the heart of this kit are EBC's GG-rated Yellowstuff brake pads. These are high-friction pads known for their aggressive bite, providing a noticeable increase in stopping power right away. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature a patented Brake-In coating that helps seat the pads quickly to the rotors for optimal performance from the start. Paired with these pads are EBC's GD series sport rotors. These vented rotors feature wide-aperture slots that are specifically designed to help clear away dust, gas, and debris from the pad surface. This slotting, combined with the vented design, helps keep the brakes cooler under heavy use, which means more consistent braking performance and less chance of fade.

This kit is a direct fit for your vehicle, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. It includes the pads, rotors, and even caliper lube to help with installation. The rotors also feature a Geomet anti-rust coating to help protect them from corrosion. EBC backs this kit with a 10,000-mile no-hassle warranty, giving you added peace of mind.
