Product Description

The EBC S9KF1498 Stage 9 brake kit is a direct-fit front axle upgrade offering enhanced stopping power and reduced fade for Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Scion xD, and Pontiac Vibe models equipped with the 1.8 L I4 engine. The combination of USR fine-slotted rotors and high-friction Yellowstuff pads provides superior thermal management, immediate bite, and lower dust output - ideal for spirited street driving, hybrid use, or occasional track days.

With rotors measuring 275 mm Ø and 22 mm thick, and pads built to FMSI D1210 specs, this kit is engineered for seamless installation with stock 5-lug calipers - no modifications required. The Geomet-coating protects against corrosion, while balanced rotors reduce vibration. Coverage is confirmed through 2022; 2023-2025 Corolla fitment is likely but remains unverified at listing time.
