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

The EBC Brake-in coating is a special surface treatment applied to the Yellowstuff pads. It helps to quickly and evenly mate the pad material to the rotor surface during the initial bedding-in process, leading to better performance sooner.

Are the rotors coated to prevent rust?

Yes, the included G3000 performance rotors feature a Geomet anti-rust coating. This coating helps protect the rotors from corrosion and maintains their appearance, especially during storage or in humid conditions.

What is the difference between dimpled and slotted rotors?

Dimples help to break the surface tension of the pad material, allowing gases and heat to escape. Slots provide channels for gases and heat to exit the braking surface, which helps maintain consistent friction and prevents pad glazing.

Product Details

The EBC S5 kit for your 1976-1978 Jeep CJ5 starts with G3000 performance rotors, which are dimpled and slotted. These dimples and slots help to dissipate heat and gases, keeping the pads from getting glazed and ensuring a more consistent bite, especially during spirited driving or when carrying a load. The rotors also feature a Geomet anti-rust coating, which helps them look good and resist corrosion even when the vehicle isn't being used regularly.

Paired with these rotors are EBC's Yellowstuff high-friction pads. These pads are known for their strong initial bite and good performance across a range of temperatures, making them a solid choice for a fast street car or light truck application like your CJ5. EBC also includes their patented Brake-in coating on the pads, which helps to seat the pads to the rotors quickly and efficiently for improved performance right out of the box. This kit is designed to save you about 10% compared to buying the pads and rotors separately, and they're balanced and run-out tested to ensure smooth operation.

This kit covers the front brakes and includes everything you need for a complete front brake upgrade. The rotors are vented, measure 298mm in diameter, and have a 56mm height with a 95.5mm center hole diameter. The pads are specified with FMSI number D050 and are 22.4mm thick. This is a well-built kit designed to give your Jeep CJ5 a noticeable improvement in its stopping capability.
