Product Description

The EBC S5KR1565 rear brake kit is designed to upgrade braking performance for 2015-2020 Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf models equipped with 2.0L I4 Turbo or Turbo Diesel engines and both FWD and AWD drivetrains. This kit combines high-friction GG-rated Yellowstuff pads with GD-series rotors featuring slots and dimples for superior cooling and fade resistance.

Rotors feature Thermic Black Geomet coating to prevent corrosion during bedding, while the Brake-In™ red pad surface speeds the bedding process for optimal braking response. The pads come pre-shimmed and chamfered for quiet, vibration-free operation. Installation is bolt-on with no modifications needed.

Fitment is confirmed through model year 2020; 2021 and later model coverage is unconfirmed at the time of listing. This kit is not compatible with models equipped with electric parking brakes. For consistent braking performance, consider upgrading front brakes alongside this rear kit.
