What is the benefit of the slots on the EBC GD rotors?

The wide aperture slots on the GD series rotors help to vent dust, gas, and debris away from the pad surface. This keeps the brakes cooler and helps maintain consistent performance, especially during harder braking events.

What does the EBC Brake-in coating on the pads do?

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to speed up the process of seating the new pads to the rotor surface. This ensures you get optimal braking performance more quickly after installation.

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this EBC Stage 5 kit includes the front brake pads, the front brake rotors, and caliper lube to assist with the installation process.

About this part

Product Details

EBC Brakes is well-known for making performance brake components, and this Stage 5 kit is a great way to get a significant brake upgrade for your Jaguar XJ8. This kit bundles their Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to work together for maximum stopping power on the street. You'll save about 10% compared to buying these parts separately, making it a smart choice for improving your car's braking performance.

The Yellowstuff pads are rated GG for high friction, meaning they grab hard when you need them to. They come fully shimmed and chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help seat the pads quickly and evenly onto the rotor surface. Paired with these are the EBC GD series rotors. These feature a wide aperture slot design that helps vent dust, gas, and debris away from the pad surface, keeping your brakes cooler and performing more consistently, especially during harder stops. The rotors also have a thermic anti-rust coating to help protect them from corrosion and are balanced and run-out tested for smooth operation.

This kit is specifically designed for the 2003 through 2006 Jaguar XJ8, and also fits the 2003-2005 S-Type with sport suspension and 2004-2006 Vanden Plas models. It includes everything you need for the front brakes: the pads, the rotors, and even caliper lube to help with installation.
