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

The USR fine-slotted rotors help to sweep away brake dust and gas that can accumulate between the pad and rotor surface. This keeps the braking area cleaner, allowing for more consistent contact and improved stopping performance, especially during spirited driving.

How does the EBC Brake-in coating help?

The patented Brake-in coating applied to the Yellowstuff pads helps them to seat properly with the rotors more quickly. This means you can achieve maximum braking effectiveness sooner after installation, reducing the break-in period.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit includes the EBC Yellowstuff front brake pads, the USR front brake rotors, and caliper lube to assist with installation. It's designed as a direct replacement for your stock components.

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 1976-1980 Lotus Esprit's braking system, this EBC S9 kit is a solid option. It bundles together EBC's top-tier Yellowstuff brake pads with their USR fine-slotted sport rotors, giving you a significant upgrade over stock components. The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction capabilities, meaning you'll feel a more immediate and confident response when you hit the brakes, whether you're on the street or the track. Plus, the kit includes caliper lube to help ensure a smooth installation.

What sets this kit apart is the combination of the high-performance pads with the USR series rotors. These rotors feature a fine slotting pattern that's designed to reduce wind noise compared to more aggressive slotting, making for a quieter ride. The slots themselves help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor, which keeps the braking surface cleaner and allows the pads to maintain consistent contact. EBC also applies a patented Brake-in coating to the pads, which helps them seat properly with the rotors quickly, getting you to maximum braking performance faster. The rotors also come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to help protect them from corrosion.

This kit is designed as a direct fit for your Lotus Esprit, meaning no modifications are needed to install it. You get everything you need in one box to upgrade your front brakes, including the pads, rotors, and caliper lube.
