Product Description

The EBC S1KR1848 is a Stage 1 rear brake kit designed for the Mk8 Volkswagen GTI platform. It combines Ultimax2 high-friction brake pads with RK series vented rotors to restore OEM-level braking performance while improving consistency, durability, and everyday driving refinement.

The Geomet-coated rotors provide strong corrosion resistance, making them well suited for year-round driving conditions. The vented rotor design helps maintain stable braking temperatures under repeated stops, improving fade resistance and reliability during spirited or urban driving.

This kit is a direct OEM-style replacement requiring no modification when matched to the correct factory rear brake configuration. It is ideal for GTI owners seeking balanced braking performance with low noise, low dust, and long service life.
