Product Description

The EBC S5KF1079 front brake kit is engineered to significantly upgrade braking performance on the Chevrolet Corvette C5 and Cadillac XLR platforms. It combines Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with GD Series slotted and dimpled rotors, improving stopping power, heat management, and resistance to brake fade compared to OEM braking systems.

Designed as a direct front axle replacement, this kit is built to handle the performance demands of high-output V8 sports cars. The slotted and dimpled rotor design helps maintain consistent pad contact by removing gas, dust, and debris from the braking surface, ensuring stable and predictable braking under repeated high-speed use.
