What is the benefit of dimpled and slotted rotors?

The dimples on the rotors help to dissipate heat, which can prevent brake fade during hard braking. The slots help to sweep away brake dust and gases that can build up between the pad and rotor, maintaining consistent contact and improving stopping power.

How do I break in the new EBC brake pads and rotors?

EBC pads come with a special Brake-in coating. Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate stops from around 30-40 mph, followed by a cooling period without coming to a complete stop. This helps to properly mate the pads to the rotors for optimal performance and longevity.

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this S5 kit includes the necessary dimpled and slotted rotors and the Yellowstuff brake pads for the front axle of your compatible Subaru vehicle. The rotors come with an anti-rust coating applied.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 2016-2021 Subaru Legacy or Outback 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 dimpled and slotted G3000 performance rotors, designed to handle more demanding braking situations than stock components.

The rotors in this kit feature a dimpled and slotted design. The dimples help with heat dissipation, while the slots help sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface. This means you get more consistent braking performance, especially during repeated hard stops. EBC also applies a Geomet anti-rust coating to the rotors, which helps protect them from corrosion and keeps them looking good, even in harsh weather. The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction output, providing a strong initial bite and reliable stopping power. They also come with EBC's patented Brake-in coating, which helps to seat the pads to the rotors quickly and efficiently for optimal performance right out of the box. This kit is balanced and run-out tested to ensure smooth operation and minimal vibration.

This kit includes everything you need for the front brakes on your Subaru. You'll get the dimpled and slotted rotors, the Yellowstuff pads, and the anti-rust coating is already applied. Just remember to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure for the pads and rotors to get the best results and longest life out of your new braking system.
