What is the benefit of the EBC Brake-in coating on the pads?

The patented Brake-in coating on the Yellowstuff pads helps to quickly seat the pad material to the rotor surface. This process ensures optimal braking performance is achieved sooner after installation.

How do the slots and holes on the GD rotors improve braking?

The wide aperture slots and spot drilling on the GD rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively. They also help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor, maintaining consistent stopping power.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the Yellowstuff brake pads and GD sport rotors. It also includes caliper lube to assist with installation. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific procedures.

About this part

Product Details

The EBC S5KR1688 kit is built around EBC's Yellowstuff performance brake pads, which are rated GG for high friction and maximum stopping effect. These pads come fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, and feature EBC's patented Brake-in coating to help seat them quickly for optimal performance right away. They are paired with EBC's GD series sport rotors, featuring wide aperture slots and spot drilling. This design helps keep the brakes cooler under heavy use and allows for faster removal of dust, gas, and debris, which contributes to consistent braking performance.

This kit is a well-built package designed to offer a significant upgrade over stock brakes for your 2016-2018 Mazda CX-5. The combination of high-friction pads and slotted/drilled rotors aims to provide maximum braking force for street use. EBC applies a thermic anti-rust coating to the rotors, and each component is balanced and run-out tested to ensure smooth, reliable braking. Buying this kit saves you about 10 percent compared to purchasing the pads and rotors separately.
