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

The patented Brake-in coating on the Bluestuff pads helps to speed up the process of mating the pad material to the rotor surface. This means you can get back to driving with optimal braking performance sooner after installation.

How do the dimples and slots on the rotors help?

The dimples and slots on the GD rotors serve a couple of purposes. They help to vent gases and heat away from the braking surface, which can prevent brake fade and maintain consistent stopping power, especially during hard braking.

Do I need to buy any other parts to install this kit?

This kit includes the rear brake pads and rotors. It's always a good idea to inspect your brake hardware, such as caliper bolts and pins, and replace them if they show signs of wear or corrosion during installation. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for details.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to improve your Saab 9-3's stopping performance, especially if you plan on hitting the track or just want a more confident feel on the street, this EBC S6 kit is a solid choice. It bundles EBC's Bluestuff brake pads with their GD series dimpled and slotted rotors, designed to work together for better braking across a range of temperatures.

The Bluestuff pads are known for their high friction capabilities, meaning they bite harder and stop your car more effectively, whether the brakes are cold or have been heated up by hard use. They come with EBC's patented Brake-in coating, which helps to seat the pads to the rotors quickly and efficiently, reducing the break-in period. The included GD rotors are made from G3000 iron and feature a thermic anti-rust coating called Geomet, which helps protect them from corrosion. They're also dimpled and slotted, which helps to dissipate heat and gases, keeping the braking surface clean and consistent.

This kit is specifically for the rear of your 2008-2011 Saab 9-3. EBC balances and tests these rotors for run-out to ensure smooth operation and minimal vibration. You'll save about 10% compared to buying these high-efficiency components separately.
