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

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to speed up the initial bedding process. This coating helps to properly mate the pad material to the rotor surface quickly, ensuring you get optimal braking performance sooner after installation.

What is the benefit of dimpled and slotted rotors?

The dimples on the rotors help to break up the boundary layer of gas and heat that can build up between the pad and rotor surface. The slots help to sweep away dust and moisture, keeping the pad surface cleaner and allowing for more consistent friction and better cooling.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and the EBC GD series dimpled and slotted rotors for the front axle. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific procedures required for your vehicle.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 2005-2010 Audi A8 Quattro a serious boost in stopping performance, this EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles together EBC's Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with their GD series dimpled and slotted rotors, designed to work together for a noticeable improvement in braking feel and effectiveness, especially under spirited driving conditions. The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction output, meaning they grab harder when you need them to, and they come with EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help seat the pads properly onto the new rotors right from the start. You'll also save about 10% compared to buying these parts separately.

The rotors in this kit are EBC's G3000 performance rotors, featuring a dimpled and slotted design. The dimples help to dissipate heat and gas, while the slots help to sweep away dust and moisture, keeping the pad surface cleaner and allowing for more consistent braking performance. They're also treated with a Geomet anti-rust coating to help protect them from corrosion, keeping your wheels looking cleaner for longer. EBC balances and tests each rotor for run-out to ensure they spin true, which is crucial for smooth, vibration-free braking. This kit is specifically configured for the front of your A8 Quattro, with vented rotors measuring 385mm in diameter.

When you're installing a kit like this, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure everything is torqued correctly and that the pads are bedded in properly for optimal performance and longevity. This kit is a great way to get a significant upgrade in braking capability for your Audi, offering a well-built package that's ready to go.
