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

The USR fine-slotted rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively than plain rotors, which can prevent brake fade during hard use. The slots also help to sweep away dust and gas, maintaining consistent pad contact for improved braking performance.

How long does it take to break in the Yellowstuff pads?

The Yellowstuff pads feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating, which is designed to speed up the pad seating process. This means you'll achieve optimal performance much faster than with standard pads, typically within a short period of normal driving.

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this S9 kit includes the front brake pads, front brake rotors, and caliper lube. It's designed to be a complete replacement for your front braking components.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your braking system for your 1999-2008 Volkswagen Passat, this EBC S9 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. It bundles together EBC's top-tier Yellowstuff GG-rated pads with their USR fine-slotted sport rotors, giving you a significant upgrade over stock components for both street and track use.

The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, which means they grab harder and provide maximum braking effect when you need it most. They come fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, 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 time and ensuring you get consistent performance right away. The USR rotors are a step up from plain blank rotors, featuring fine slots that help reduce wind noise and improve heat dissipation, which is important for maintaining braking performance during spirited driving or track sessions. They also have a Geomet anti-rust coating to keep them looking good and protected from the elements.

This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed to install it on your Passat. You'll get everything you need for the front brakes, including the pads, rotors, and caliper lube, saving you about 15% compared to buying these parts separately. Just remember, while these are built for serious performance, EBC does not offer a warranty for race use.
