What is the benefit of the slotted and drilled rotors in this kit?

The slots and drilled holes on the EBC GD series rotors help to vent hot gases and dust away from the braking surface. This keeps the brakes cooler under heavy use, which helps prevent brake fade and maintains consistent stopping power.

How does the EBC Brake-in coating on the pads work?

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to quickly and efficiently seat the pad material to the rotor surface. This process ensures you achieve optimal braking performance sooner after installation, without a long break-in period.

What else might I need to install this brake kit?

While this kit includes the pads, rotors, and caliper lube, it's always a good idea to have brake cleaner on hand to clean the new components before installation. You may also want to inspect your brake lines and hardware during the brake job.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your 2008 or 2009 Volkswagen Touareg's stopping performance, this EBC S5 Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles EBC's Yellowstuff performance brake pads with their GD series sport rotors, designed to give you maximum braking effect for street use. It's a complete rear brake upgrade that addresses both pad friction and rotor heat management.

The Yellowstuff pads are EBC's flagship GG-rated pads, known for their high friction compound that translates to strong stopping power. They come fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating. This coating helps seat the pads quickly and efficiently onto the rotors, ensuring you get optimal performance right after installation. The GD series rotors are vented and feature wide aperture slots and drilled holes. This design is crucial for keeping brakes cool under heavy use by allowing dust, gas, and debris to escape quickly, preventing brake fade and ensuring consistent performance.

This kit is a well-built package that saves you about 10% compared to buying the pads and rotors separately. Both the pads and rotors are designed for smooth braking, with the rotors being thermic anti-rust coated, balanced, and run-out tested. You'll also find caliper lube included in the kit, making the installation process smoother. This is a comprehensive upgrade for Touareg owners who demand more from their braking system.
