EBC S5 Brake Pads and Rotors Kit

2017–2020 Subaru BRZ & 2019 Toyota 86

S5KR1776

Overview:

The EBC S5 Brake Pads and Rotors Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the Subaru BRZ (2017–2020) and Toyota 86 (2019). This kit combines EBC’s Yellowstuff S5 brake pads with GD series slotted and dimpled rotors, delivering enhanced braking power, improved pedal feel, and extended component life. Ideal for drivers seeking a reliable, street-legal upgrade that performs well in daily driving and spirited street use.

Engineered to provide superior stopping power without compromising comfort, the softer compound of the Yellowstuff pads ensures better modulation and reduced noise at lower speeds. The GD rotors complement this with advanced slotting and drilling patterns that improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade, making this kit a balanced solution for fast street cars.

Key Features:

This kit offers a range of advanced features designed to optimize braking performance and durability:

• Yellowstuff S5 brake pads made from a specially formulated softer compound for longer pad life and improved pedal feel at low speeds
• GD series rotors featuring wide aperture slots and blind drilled dimples to effectively disperse gases, dirt, debris, and carbon deposits
• Thermic black coating on rotors for maximum corrosion resistance and enhanced durability
• Rotors inspected for runout to ensure smooth, vibration-free braking
• Vented rotor design with 5 bolt holes, 316mm diameter, 20mm thickness, and 63.5mm height for direct fitment
• Blind holes in rotors prevent cracking under high thermal stress, allowing operation up to 800–900°C
• Direct bolt-on fitment with no modifications required over stock setup
• Geomet anti-rust coating extends rotor lifespan in all weather conditions
• 10,000 mile no-hassle warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design:

The EBC S5 kit combines premium materials and precision engineering to deliver consistent, high-quality braking performance. The Yellowstuff pads utilize a softer friction compound optimized for street use, providing excellent bite and modulation without excessive wear or noise. Meanwhile, the GD rotors are crafted from high-grade cast iron and feature a unique combination of wide slots and blind drilled dimples. These design elements enhance heat dissipation and reduce the risk of cracking, even under aggressive driving conditions.

The rotors are coated with EBC’s proprietary thermic black finish, which not only protects against corrosion but also improves thermal management. This coating, combined with the vented rotor design, helps maintain optimal braking temperatures and prevents premature rotor warping or degradation.

Installation & Fitment:

This brake kit is engineered for direct fitment on the front or rear of Subaru BRZ models from 2017 through 2020 and Toyota 86 models from 2019. Installation requires no modifications or additional parts, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts and professional installers alike. The kit fits vehicles with 5 bolt holes and matches OEM rotor dimensions, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation.

What's Included:

• Pair of EBC Yellowstuff S5 high-friction brake pads (FMSI Pad No. D961 for rear fitment)
• Pair of GD series slotted and dimpled brake rotors (316mm diameter, vented)

Ideal For:

This kit is perfect for Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 owners who want a significant upgrade over stock brakes for daily driving, spirited street performance, and occasional track use. It suits drivers seeking enhanced pedal feel, improved stopping power, and long-lasting components without sacrificing comfort or requiring complex installation.
