The EBC S11KR1789 kit contains everything needed for a full rear brake replacement:

• 1 x EBC RK1535 Rear Brake Rotor Pair: Premium OE-style rotors made from G3000 gray cast iron for precise fit and durability. Each rotor measures 310mm diameter, 18mm thickness (vented design), with a 63mm height and 5-bolt pattern (112mm PCD). Features Geomet anti-rust coating on non-friction surfaces to resist corrosion, fully balanced, and runout-tested to under 0.05mm for zero distortion out of the box. Includes center-line slots for even wear and heat dissipation.
• 1 x EBC DP42435R Yellowstuff Rear Brake Pad Set: High-friction aramid fiber compound with ceramic granules for enhanced bite from cold (friction coefficient up to 0.50). Fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted to reduce noise and vibration; includes patented Brake-in surface coating for quick bedding (100-200 miles of normal driving). ECE R90 approved for road use, with zero fade up to 450°C. Pad dimensions: Approximately 120mm width x 60mm height x 18mm thickness (FMSI D2364 equivalent).
• Caliper Lube: Included tube of silicone-based lubricant for pins and slides to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing.

All components are manufactured in EBC’s UK or USA facilities, backed by a 10,000-mile/6-month no-hassle warranty against defects. Installation requires standard tools bed-in process involves 10-15 moderate stops from 30-0 mph after install.

Specifications and Performance Details

• Braking Efficiency: Yellowstuff pads provide 15-30% shorter stopping distances than OEM under loaded conditions, with immediate cold bite and sustained power for highway or canyon driving. Rotors handle up to 600°C without warping, outperforming uncoated alternatives in wet/dry tests.
• Dust and Noise: Produces less brake dust than semi-metallic OEM pads (up to 50% reduction), easily cleaned from wheels. Low-noise design minimizes squeal compared to aggressive track compounds.
• Durability: Pads last 20,000-30,000 miles in mixed use; rotors offer 50,000+ miles with proper bedding. Resistant to rotor scoring, with even wear across the friction surface.
• Weight and Shipping: Kit total weight approximately 22-25 lbs (10-11 kg). Ships in a single box measuring 24″ L x 12″ W x 12″ H (61cm x 30cm x 30cm) for easy handling. No hazardous materials standard ground shipping.
