Product Description

The EBC S5KR1389 rear brake kit upgrades braking performance on 2004-2008 Acura TL (3.2L & 3.5L V6, including Base and Type-S trims) and 2003-2011 Honda Element (2.4L I4). Featuring high-performance Yellowstuff GG-rated pads and GD series dimpled/slotted rotors, this kit improves cold bite, fade resistance, and thermal management - perfect for spirited street driving or autox.

Rotors are 282 mm x 9 mm, precision-balanced, and coated with Thermic Black Geomet finish for corrosion resistance during bedding. The Brake-In™ pad coating accelerates mating, while factory-installed shims and chamfers ensure near-OEM quiet braking. Direct bolt-on installation, including pads, rotors, and caliper lube, requires no modifications.

Fitment is confirmed through 2011 for both Acura TL and Element. Coverage beyond listed years is unverified. This kit is rear-only; upgrading rear pads without matching front performance pads can lead to uneven braking. Compatible with AWD/FWD where applicable (Element is FWD; verify TL configuration).
