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

The USR fine-slotted rotors are designed with a specific slot pattern that helps to reduce wind noise during operation. This makes them a quieter option for street use compared to more aggressive rotor designs, while still offering improved braking performance.

How do the Yellowstuff brake pads improve stopping power?

EBC's Yellowstuff pads are GG-rated for high friction, meaning they create more grip between the pad and rotor. This results in a significant increase in stopping power and a more responsive pedal feel, especially during harder braking events.

What is the EBC Brake-In coating for?

The patented Brake-In coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to quickly and properly seat the pads to the surface of the new rotors. This process ensures optimal braking performance is achieved shortly after installation, reducing the need for a lengthy break-in period.

Product Details

The EBC S9 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit for your 2012-2018 Acura RDX features EBC’s USR fine-slotted sport rotors. These rotors are designed with a specific slot pattern that helps reduce wind noise compared to more aggressive rotor designs, making them a great choice for street use where a quieter operation is preferred. They also come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to keep them looking good and protected from the elements.

Paired with the USR rotors are EBC’s flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads. These pads are built for maximum stopping effect, offering a significant improvement over stock pads. They come fully shimmed, chamfered, and feature EBC’s patented Brake-In coating, which helps to quickly seat the pads to the rotors for optimal performance right after installation. This kit is a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup, and it includes caliper lube to assist with the installation process.

This kit is ideal for drivers looking for a substantial upgrade in braking performance for both street driving and occasional track use. The combination of the high-friction pads and the slotted rotors aims to provide consistent and powerful braking, even under demanding conditions. Remember that EBC specifies no warranty for race use, so this kit is best suited for spirited street driving and track days where you accept the inherent risks.
