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

The USR rotors feature a fine-slotted design that helps reduce wind noise compared to more aggressive slot patterns. This makes them a good choice for street driving while still providing performance benefits.

Do the Yellowstuff pads require a break-in period?

Yes, the Yellowstuff pads include EBC's patented Brake-in coating. This coating helps to speed up the pad seating process, allowing you to get the most out of your new brakes more quickly.

What is included in this EBC S9 kit besides the pads and rotors?

In addition to the EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and USR slotted rotors, this kit also includes caliper lube to assist with the installation process.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 1997-2003 BMW 540i's braking system, this EBC S9 kit is a solid option. It bundles together EBC's flagship Yellowstuff GG-rated brake pads with their USR sport slotted rotors, giving you a complete rear brake upgrade. The Yellowstuff pads are known for their high friction compound, which means they grab hard for maximum stopping effect, and they come fully shimmed and chamfered for a quieter operation. Plus, they feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help seat the pads quickly and efficiently.

The USR rotors in this kit are a fine-slotted design, which helps reduce wind noise compared to more aggressive slot patterns, making them great for street use while still offering track-day performance. 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 over your stock rear brake components. You'll also get caliper lube included to help with installation.
