EBC S9 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit

If you're looking to significantly improve your 2003-2014 Volvo XC90's braking performance, especially for spirited driving or track use, this EBC S9 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. It bundles together EBC's top-tier components to give you a noticeable upgrade over your stock setup. You're getting their flagship Yellowstuff GG-rated pads, known for their high friction capabilities, paired with USR sport slotted rotors. These rotors feature a fine slot pattern designed to reduce wind noise compared to more aggressive designs, making them a great option for a street-driven vehicle that also sees track time.

What sets this kit apart is the attention to detail in the components. The Yellowstuff pads come fully shimmed and chamfered, and they include EBC's patented Brake-In coating. This coating helps to quickly seat the pads to the rotors, reducing the break-in period and ensuring you get optimal performance sooner. The USR rotors aren't just about looks; the fine slotting helps to dissipate heat and gas, which can improve braking consistency, especially during repeated stops. They also feature a Geomet anti-rust coating to help keep them looking good and protected from the elements, even when the vehicle isn't being driven regularly.

This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed to install it on your XC90. You'll receive the pads, rotors, and even a packet of caliper lube to help with the installation process. While this kit is built for high performance, it's important to note that EBC does not offer a warranty for use in racing applications. For everyday driving and occasional track days, however, this EBC S9 kit offers a well-built solution for enhanced braking.
