Product Description

The EBC S5KR1041 Stage 5 rear brake kit is a performance upgrade designed for Corvette C5/C6 and Cadillac XLR platforms equipped with 305 mm rear braking systems. It combines EBC's Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with GD series slotted and dimpled rotors to deliver improved stopping performance, stronger pedal response, and better fade resistance compared to OEM rear brake components.

This kit is engineered for high-performance street driving, spirited use, and heavy-duty braking demands. The slotted and dimpled rotor design helps evacuate heat, brake dust, and gases from the rotor surface, maintaining stable friction levels and improving braking consistency during repeated stops or high-speed driving conditions.

Ideal for drivers upgrading from factory rear brake systems, this kit provides a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required. It enhances braking confidence, improves durability, and ensures consistent rear-end braking balance when paired with matching front performance brake upgrades.
