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

The USR fine-slotted rotors are designed to help dissipate heat more effectively than plain rotors, which can improve braking consistency. The fine slotting pattern also helps to reduce wind noise often associated with more aggressive rotor designs.

How do the Yellowstuff pads help with braking performance?

EBC's Yellowstuff pads use a high-friction compound that provides a strong initial bite and excellent stopping power. They are designed for super-fast street and track use, offering a significant improvement over standard pads.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the EBC Yellowstuff brake pads, USR slotted rotors, and caliper lube. While these are the main components, it's always recommended to check your vehicle's service manual or consult a mechanic to ensure you have any other necessary hardware or fluids for the job.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1990-1998 Volkswagen Passat a serious brake upgrade, this EBC S9 kit is a solid option. It bundles together EBC's popular Yellowstuff GG-rated pads with their USR fine-slotted sport rotors, plus caliper lube, so you get everything you need for a complete rear brake job in one box. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your stock setup, meaning no modifications are needed to install it.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, which means they grab hard and provide maximum braking effect, making them suitable for both spirited street driving and track use. Paired with the USR rotors, which feature fine slots to help dissipate heat and reduce wind noise compared to more aggressive slotting patterns, you get a well-balanced system. The rotors also come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from corrosion, and the pads have EBC's patented Brake-In coating to help them seat quickly with the new rotors for optimal performance right away.

This kit is a convenient way to save a bit over buying the pads and rotors separately. It's a well-built package that offers a noticeable improvement in stopping power and feel for your Passat.
