EBC S9KF1975 Stage 9 Yellowstuff Front Brake Kit for 2022-2023 Hyundai Elantra N

Vehicle Fitment

• 2022-2023 Hyundai Elantra N (2.0L Turbo, FWD)
• 2022-2023 Hyundai Kona N (2.0L Turbo, FWD)

Fitment Notes

• Front axle fitment only; a matching rear kit is required for a complete brake upgrade.
• Fits only the high-performance N variants of the Elantra and Kona - does NOT fit standard Elantra (non-N) or standard Kona (non-N), which use smaller front brake assemblies.
• Both the Elantra N and Kona N are offered in a single trim level; all examples within the applicable model years are covered by this kit.
• FWD only - both the Elantra N and Kona N are front-wheel-drive platforms.

Features

• EBC Yellowstuff aramid fiber pads are engineered for high-performance sport and track-capable vehicles, delivering strong brake effect from cold that builds further under heat - making them an ideal upgrade for the N platform's aggressive driving character without sacrificing everyday drivability.
• GG friction rating provides 30-40% more stopping power than OEM pads, reducing stopping distances on both street and track with the same stock caliper setup - no caliper swap or hardware modification required.
• USR Series fine-slotted rotors use a dual-set angled shallow slot pattern to accelerate cooling, expel heat, gases, and brake dust, and maintain flat, parallel pad wear - extending the service life of both pads and rotors under hard use.
• The 360mm (14.17 in.) vented 1-piece rotor diameter matches the Elantra N and Kona N's OEM front brake spec exactly, ensuring direct-fit installation with no modifications to calipers, brackets, or wheel clearance.
• Geomet Thermic Black anti-corrosion coating on rotors provides long-term rust resistance on the non-swept rotor face, preserving appearance and protecting against surface oxidation between drives.
• Rotors are precision-balanced and 100% run-out tested at the factory, ensuring vibration-free pedal feel and consistent brake torque from the first stop after installation.
• EBC Brake-in coating pre-applied to Yellowstuff pads enables strong initial bite right away, minimizing the break-in period needed for street use before performance potential is reached.
• Kit bundles pads, USR rotors, and caliper lube in one package at savings over buying components separately, covering the complete front axle upgrade in a single order.

Product Description

The EBC S9KF1975 is a Stage 9 front brake kit built specifically for the 2022-2023 Hyundai Elantra N and Kona N, combining Yellowstuff high-friction aramid fiber pads with fine-slotted USR Series rotors sized to the N models' 360mm front brake specification. It is designed for drivers who push these platforms on canyon roads and track days and want a brake upgrade that keeps pace with the N's power delivery and suspension capability without requiring caliper modifications.

Yellowstuff pads provide immediate strong brake response from cold - a key advantage on a performance-oriented FWD platform where late braking and trail-braking technique demand consistency at all temperatures. As the system heats under repeated hard stops, friction increases rather than fades, maintaining predictable pedal feel throughout a track session. The USR rotors pair with the pads through their dual fine-slot geometry, which draws heat across the swept surface evenly and evacuates dust and gas without introducing the audible noise common to wider-slotted performance rotors.

This kit fits all 2022-2023 Elantra N and Kona N examples on the front axle. It does not fit non-N Elantra or Kona models, which use smaller front brake assemblies. Pair with a matching EBC rear kit for a fully balanced brake upgrade across both axles of either N platform.
