Product Description

The EBC S13KR1728 rear brake kit is a performance upgrade tailored for 2016-2020 Audi Q3/Q3 Quattro and 2017-2019 VW Golf models equipped with rear disc brakes. It combines GG-rated Yellowstuff aramid pads - pre-shimmed, chamfered, and Brake-In® coated - with precision-balanced 300 mm plain-face RK rotors featuring Thermic Black anti-rust coating. The result is ~30-40% more stopping power, superior fade resistance, and reduced rotor wear.

Installation is uncomplicated: bolt-on fitment requires no modifications, and rotors come run-out tested for smooth performance. Pads are engineered for fast bedding, reduced noise, and enhanced braking control. The kit includes caliper lube and retains a performance warranty - provided the rotor coating remains intact.

Fitment is validated through 2020; coverage for 2021-2025 is currently unverified. Ideal for owners looking to bolster stopping power without replacing the entire front-end system - pair with a front Yellowstuff/RK kit for full braking assurance.
