Product Description

The EBC S5KR1438 Stage 5 rear brake kit upgrades braking capability on 2010-2013 Audi A3 2.0T models equipped with Bosch rear calipers. Featuring GG-rated Yellowstuff pads and 272 mm GD-series slotted/dimpled rotors, this system delivers superior cold bite, fade resistance, and thermal management - ideal for spirited driving or track use.

Rotors are solid, precision-balanced, and coated with Thermic Black/Geomet finish to guard against corrosion during bedding. The Brake-In™ surface treatment accelerates pad-to-rotor settling, while pre-installed shims and chamfers ensure quiet, vibration-free operation. Installation is straightforward - swap existing rear pads and rotors, apply the included lube, and bolt on.

Fitment validated through multiple trusted sources (BuyBrakes, NAPA, BD Unlimited, Summit Racing) confirming compatibility with 2010-2013 Audi A3 2.0T models equipped with Bosch rear calipers. Coverage is confirmed through 2013; later-year models are unverified. Rear-axle only - front brakes should be upgraded concurrently to match Yellowstuff performance and ensure safe, balanced braking.
