EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit - S5KF1676

The EBC S5KF1676 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a complete, two-wheel performance brake upgrade that pairs EBC's renowned Yellowstuff high-efficiency brake pads with EBC's GD series slotted and dimpled rotors. Designed as a matched set, this kit gives performance-minded drivers a cohesive braking upgrade rather than a mix-and-match approach — everything you need for a meaningful improvement in stopping power arrives together. If you're looking for an EBC brake kit that combines upgraded pads and rotors in a single part number, the S5KF1676 delivers exactly that.

Key Features & Benefits

• Yellowstuff High-Efficiency Brake Pads: EBC's Yellowstuff compound is formulated for high-friction performance, making it a popular choice for drivers who want improved bite over standard OEM pads — useful for spirited street driving, track days, or demanding daily use.
• Patented EBC Brake-In Coating: The Yellowstuff pads come with EBC's proprietary brake-in (bedding) coating applied at the factory, reducing the break-in time required and helping the pads seat properly to the rotor surface more quickly after installation.
• GD Slotted and Dimpled Rotors: The included GD series rotors feature a combination of slots and dimples across the rotor face. Slots help sweep away gases, dust, and debris from the pad surface during braking, while the dimpled pattern assists with cooling and bite. The result is a rotor that performs better under repeated or sustained braking compared to a plain rotor.
• Thermic Anti-Rust Coating on Rotors: EBC applies a thermic anti-rust coating to the GD rotors, helping protect them from surface corrosion during storage and in the early miles of use — a common concern with performance rotors that sit unused or in humid environments.
• Fully Balanced and Run-Out Tested: Each rotor in this kit is balanced and tested for run-out at the factory, meaning you're less likely to experience pedal pulsation or vibration from a rotor that's out of spec right out of the box.
• Two-Wheel Set — Everything Matched: The S5KF1676 is sold as a 2-wheel set, so pads and rotors are matched and sourced together. This simplifies ordering and ensures compatibility between the friction material and rotor surface finish.
• Performance Upgrade Over OEM: The combination of Yellowstuff compound pads and GD rotors is positioned as a step above standard factory brake components, suited to drivers who want more from their braking system without moving to a full racing brake setup.
