Product Description

The EBC S5KF1890 is a front axle performance brake kit designed for Cadillac CTS models from 2014 to 2019. It combines EBC Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with GD series slotted and dimpled rotors to deliver significantly improved braking performance, heat management, and pedal response compared to OEM braking systems.

The ~345 mm rotor system is engineered for heavier performance sedans on the GM Alpha platform, providing strong thermal capacity for spirited street driving and high-speed braking conditions. The slotted and dimpled rotor design helps evacuate heat, gases, and debris from the braking surface, reducing fade and maintaining consistent stopping performance under repeated load.

This kit installs as a direct front axle replacement for compatible Cadillac CTS vehicles without modification. It is ideal for drivers seeking a durable, high-performance braking upgrade for daily driving and performance street use.
