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

The wide aperture slots on the EBC GD series rotors help to remove heat, dust, and gas from the braking surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and helps maintain consistent stopping power, especially during repeated hard braking.

How do the Yellowstuff pads perform compared to stock pads?

EBC Yellowstuff pads are rated GG for high friction, offering significantly more stopping power than standard street pads. They are designed for spirited street driving and provide a noticeable improvement in braking effect.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the brake pads and rotors, along with caliper lube to assist with the installation process. It is designed as a direct fit, so no additional modifications are typically needed over your stock setup.

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Acura RDX's stopping power for spirited street driving, this EBC S5 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's flagship Yellowstuff street performance pads with their GD series slotted sport rotors, designed to handle higher heat and clear out dust and debris more effectively than stock components. This combination aims to give you maximum braking effect when you need it most.

The Yellowstuff pads are rated GG for high friction, meaning they bite hard and provide a noticeable improvement in deceleration. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-In coating, which helps seat the pads to the rotors quickly for optimal performance right away. The accompanying GD series rotors are vented and feature wide-aperture slots. These slots aren't just for looks; they help pull heat away from the braking surface and eject dust and gas, keeping your brakes cooler and more consistent, especially during repeated stops.

This kit is designed as a direct fit for your 2018-2023 Acura RDX, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup. It also includes caliper lube to help with installation. The rotors have a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them before installation and during initial use. This kit is a popular upgrade for fast street cars and SUVs where enhanced braking performance is a priority.
