Product Description

The EBC S6KR1273 is a rear Stage 6 brake kit that combines Bluestuff NDX high-friction brake pads with GD slotted and dimpled sport rotors for a matched rear brake upgrade. This kit is aimed at drivers who want sharper braking response, improved fade resistance, and better heat management than standard replacement parts. The Bluestuff compound is intended for aggressive street driving and track day use, while the GD rotor design helps clear dust, gas, and debris from the pad contact surface.

Cross-validated fitment supports MQB-based rear applications including the 2015-2020 Audi A3 range, 2016-2018 A3 Sportback e-tron, 2015-2019 Volkswagen GTI, 2015-2019 Golf R, and select 2018-2019 Golf models. Drivetrain varies by application, including FWD and AWD/Quattro depending on model and trim. No lift or drop height applies because this is a brake kit, not a suspension component. Fitment confirmed through 2020 on reviewed sources. 2025 coverage unconfirmed at time of listing.
