Product Information

Full details

This EBC Brakes kit is for drivers seeking significantly enhanced stopping power and longevity for high-performance street driving. The key benefit is a substantial improvement in braking performance under sustained or harsh conditions, saving money by combining two essential components. A potential caveat is that while versatile, for dedicated track use, EBC recommends Yellowstuff pads, implying this kit is optimized for spirited road driving with occasional track use. It features EBC's Yellowstuff brake pads, known for their high friction from cold and heat resistance, paired with EBC BSD slotted performance discs designed to prevent gas and debris buildup.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I need to bed in the Yellowstuff pads?

Yes, EBC recommends a specific bedding-in procedure for Yellowstuff pads to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, followed by cooling periods.

Are these discs and pads suitable for daily driving?

Yes, the Yellowstuff pads have high brake effect from cold and are designed for high-performance street use. The BSD discs also complement this for daily driving, offering enhanced reliability.

Can I use this kit for track days?

EBC recommends Yellowstuff pads for track day use. This kit provides a significant upgrade, but for dedicated, frequent track use, always ensure your entire braking system is up to the task and consider further performance enhancements.

How do the slotted discs improve braking?

The slots on the BSD discs help to degas the braking surface by allowing brake pad gases to escape. They also help to keep the pad surface clean by scraping away dust and debris, ensuring consistent contact and reducing the risk of glazing.

What is the main advantage of buying this as a kit?

The primary advantage is cost savings. Purchasing the EBC BSD Performance Discs and Yellowstuff Pads together as a kit is significantly cheaper than buying the components separately.

How long should these brake components last?

Longevity varies based on driving style and conditions. However, both the BSD discs and Yellowstuff pads are designed to last longer than standard factory components, offering improved durability.

Will this kit fit my car?

This specific kit (PD18KR081) is designed for certain vehicle rear applications. It is essential to verify compatibility with your vehicle's specifications, including make, model, year, and caliper type, before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

Ensure rotors are properly torqued and bedded in. Uneven pad material transfer or warped rotors can cause judder. Consult a mechanic if persistent.

Increased brake dust

Yellowstuff pads are performance-oriented and may produce more dust than standard pads. Regular wheel cleaning can mitigate this. Ensure pads are correctly bedded in, as improper bedding can exacerbate dust.

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

Some noise can be normal with performance pads. Ensure anti-squeal shims are correctly installed (if applicable). Grinding noise indicates a serious issue, such as debris caught between pad and rotor, or extreme wear, requiring immediate inspection.

Reduced braking performance after initial use

Confirm that the pads have been bedded in correctly according to EBC's instructions. Overheating or improper bedding can degrade performance. Check for any leaks or issues with the brake hydraulic system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly enhanced stopping power.
  • Increased resistance to heat and fade during hard braking.
  • Improved durability and lifespan over standard brake components.
  • Slotted design aids in maintaining consistent performance.
  • Cost-effective when purchased as a kit.
  • Effective from cold, requiring no bedding-in period for initial use.

Cons

  • May produce more dust than standard pads.
  • Could potentially be noisier than OEM pads under certain conditions.
  • While good for occasional track use, not a dedicated track-only solution.
  • Requires professional installation or knowledge of brake systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: It is highly recommended that this brake kit be installed by a qualified mechanic. Proper installation includes ensuring correct caliper function, bedding-in the pads according to EBC's recommendations, and verifying proper rotor-pad contact. Incorrect installation can lead to reduced performance and safety.

Compatibility: This specific kit (MPN: PD18KR081) is designed for specific vehicle applications. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, year, and caliper type before purchase. Refer to the product listing or consult with a specialist to ensure a correct fitment for your rear brakes.

Care: Regular inspection of brake pads and discs for wear is essential. Keep the braking system clean by rinsing with water and mild soap if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals. Ensure brake fluid levels are maintained and the fluid is changed per your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule.
