EBC S9 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit

When you're looking to give your 1996-1998 Volkswagen Golf a serious brake upgrade, this EBC S9 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. What you get right out of the box is a complete front brake setup: EBC's flagship GG-rated Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads, their USR sport slotted rotors, and even a packet of caliper lube to help with the installation. This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock components, making the job much simpler.

The heart of this kit is the combination of EBC's Yellowstuff pads and USR rotors. The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction capabilities, which translates to more stopping power, whether you're on the street or the track. Paired with the USR fine-slotted rotors, you'll notice a difference. These rotors feature a fine slot pattern that helps reduce wind noise compared to more aggressive designs, while still doing a great job of clearing dust and gas from the pad surface for consistent performance. The rotors also come with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect them before installation and during their initial use. Plus, EBC includes their patented Brake-in coating on the pads, which helps seat them quickly to the rotors for faster performance realization.

This kit is a great way to get a significant improvement in your braking system. The rotors are vented and measure 288mm in diameter, with a 28mm height and 25mm thickness, designed to handle the demands of spirited driving. Remember, while these are designed for street and track use, EBC does not offer a warranty for racing applications. This kit is also compatible with the 1996-1998 Volkswagen Jetta and 1996-1997 Volkswagen Passat, so if you have one of those models, you can benefit from this upgrade too.
