Product Description

The EBC S5KF1037 Stage 5 Front Brake Kit combines EBC's flagship Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with GD Sport dimpled and slotted rotors to deliver exceptional braking performance for demanding street driving and occasional track use. This matched package provides increased stopping power, improved fade resistance, and consistent pedal feel compared to standard replacement brake components.

The included GD Sport rotors are manufactured from premium G3000 cast iron and feature wide-aperture slots and precision dimples that help evacuate heat, water, brake dust, and gases while maintaining optimal pad contact. Yellowstuff performance pads utilize EBC's Brake-In™ surface coating for rapid bedding and strong initial bite. Designed as a direct-fit replacement for compatible 1998 Volkswagen Golf and Jetta MK3 models equipped with the factory 256mm vented front brake package, this kit installs without modifications and is well suited for spirited daily driving, autocross, and light track use.
