What is the advantage of the USR fine-slotted rotors in this kit?

The fine slotting pattern on the USR rotors helps to vent heat and brake dust away from the pad surface. This leads to more consistent braking performance and reduced brake fade, especially during spirited driving or track use, while also minimizing wind noise compared to more aggressive slotting patterns.

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 mate the pad material to the rotor surface. This reduces the typical break-in period, allowing you to achieve optimal braking performance sooner after installation.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the EBC Yellowstuff brake pads, USR slotted rotors, and caliper lube. While it contains the core braking components and necessary lube, you may need standard brake service tools for installation, and it's always recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your BMW X3's braking system, especially if you plan on doing some spirited driving or track days, this EBC S9 kit is a solid option. It bundles together EBC's top-tier performance components – their flagship Yellowstuff GG-rated pads and USR fine-slotted sport rotors – to give you a significant upgrade over your stock setup. This kit is designed to be a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed to install it on your 2011-2018 X3.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, which translates to serious stopping power. They come fully shimmed, chamfered, and feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating. This coating is crucial because it helps seat the pads to the rotors quickly and efficiently, reducing the break-in period and ensuring you get optimal performance right away. Paired with these pads are the USR sport rotors. These aren't just plain rotors; they have a fine slotting pattern that helps dissipate heat and gasses more effectively than a standard rotor. This helps prevent brake fade and keeps your braking consistent, even under demanding conditions. The USR rotors also feature a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them from the elements and keep them looking good. EBC also includes caliper lube with the kit, which is a nice touch for a smooth installation.

By purchasing this kit, you're also saving about 15% compared to buying the pads and rotors separately. It’s a comprehensive package that addresses both the pad and rotor components, ensuring they work together harmoniously for improved braking performance. While these are designed for street and track use, keep in mind that EBC does not offer a warranty for racing applications.
