Product Details

Stage 1 Street Plain Brake Kit by EBC®. Includes: UPR Series Premium OE Replacement Rotors and Ultimax OE Replacement Brake Pads. Enhance your daily driving with confidence and peace of mind. With the EBC Stage 1 Street Plain Brake Kit, you will forget about brake shudder or embarrassing brake squeal when coming to a stop. The kit combines the Ultimax Pads and stock replacement rotors for the ultimate OEM pad and rotor combination at an affordable price. The anodized layer is designed to disappear in the area that the brake pads contact the rotor.

Features

  • Sized and shaped to original equipment specifications with extremely tight tolerances
  • Designed to meet or reduce factory levels of heat buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear
  • Black GEOMET™ and NITROTHERM™ anti corrosive finish
  • Recommended by EBC for normal street driving, high performance street driving, truck or SUV use, drifting, and short track runs
  • High quality "gray" iron features a higher carbon content to reduce brake shudder, heat cracking, and high-frequency vibrations which cause squealing
  • Vented center allows air to pass between both rotor sides for more effective cooling
  • EBC recommends a 500-mile break in period with lighter braking application
  • Patented AF42/66 pad friction material features a low level of metallic compounds that reduces rotor wear by up to 50%
  • Produces low amount of brake dust
  • Backing plate and side edges of brake pad are black powder coated for resistance to corrosion
  • Pad surfaces have chamfered edges to reduce contact against rotor lip that forms over time and causes squealing
  • Center gap allows for proper heat expansion of brake pads
  • Built in noise-reducing shims
  • Patented Brake-In™ red top coating provides better grip during the first 100 miles after new pads are installed
  • Patented Brake-In™ red top coating scours off any existing glaze or heat spots from brake rotor surface for more even surface mating

Rotor Benefits:

  • Perfect for non-aggressive driving
  • Ensure quiet operation
  • Offer low dust and long pad life
  • Vented design provides much faster heat dissipation
  • More resistant to warping or cracking

Why pay dealership prices that are marked up 100% when you can purchase EBC high-quality RK Series Premium OE Replacement rotors for less? Unlike cheaper, inferior replacement rotors that may look identical to original equipment, EBC builds these to match original factory dimensions and machines them to extremely tight tolerances. But they did not stop there. EBC has applied their engineering expertise to create an iron compound that exceeds the quality of most original material blends, so these rotors actually improve on factory levels of heat buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear. A higher percentage of carbon and silicone is present which leads to the formation of graphite during the curing process. When graphite is present, the rotor itself takes on qualities of a denser, softer material. Heat is more evenly dispersed to reduce warping, cracks are less likely, and vibration-related noise is greatly reduced. RK Series Premium OE Replacement Rotor Kit is anodized for corrosion resistance, and rotors should be fully ready for performance driving after a 500-mile break-in period.

EBC Ultimax™ OEM Replacement Brake Pads are designed to match the exact dimensions of original equipment with extremely tight tolerances to ensure proper fit, even wear, and absence of rattles and squeaks. In government R90 tests of replacement brake components, EBC pads have shown to deliver equivalent performance, bedding, cold temperature operation, and speed sensitivity when compared to original manufacturer parts. EBC’s aramid material also ensures the pads are soft enough to avoid brake squeal, but not so soft that pad longevity becomes compromised. On some German vehicles, you may even see longer life with EBC pads than the original factory brake pads provided.

If you’re installing Ultimax™ OEM Replacement Brake Pads with new brake rotors, you’ll find down the road when the time comes to replace the pads again, rotors will still be usable enough to last through another set of brake pads. And if you are installing EBC pads without replacing rotors, pre-chamfered pad edges will mate perfectly against the grooves and lips that normally form on the rotor surfaces, so the meat of the pad makes contact against the rotor center where it counts. These pads also feature a red top layer coating designed to scour glaze and hot spots off worn brake rotors during the break-in process. As it does that, the coating also serves to provide a higher level of grip to counteract low friction levels that exist before bedding is complete. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed rather than transferred as squealing noise, even under the most extreme weather conditions.

Founded and based in the United Kingdom, EBC Brakes® is a premiere producer of brake components for passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, ATVs, and even scooters. EBC brake pads and rotors are preferred by fleet operators of emergency vehicles, livery cabs, and by discerning racers all over the world for the effective grip, superior lifespan, resistance to heat buildup, and proper fit they deliver. From the company president down to every employee, EBC strongly believes that brake components that are truly superior must be constructed from the most effective materials and also offer the lowest environmental impact possible. Likewise, EBC will never put their name on any products that cut corners in development, quality control, or are manufactured using sweatshop working conditions where human rights are not valued. When you want the best, most responsible brake components that meet or exceed OEM specification without dealer OEM markup, EBC Brakes is the only name you need to know.

Solid product with 90% of what you need for the job, these rotors are very well machined and EXTREMELY beefy. Each one weighs as much as 2 of my old stock rotors, both front and back. The brake pads are slightly thicker and I did actually notice less dust that my previous BOSCH set. No squeeking or slipping, no vibration whatsoever which is great news. these aren't "performance" brakes but short of a full track day, these are more than you'll ever probably need. I am completely satisfied and will certainly buy again. 2 things to note before you buy: 1. This kit DOES NOT come with hardware. You will need to purchase the caliper clips and pins separately as well as the silicone lubricant if you don't already have it. The E-Brake shoes/hardware are also not included but I expected that - just a heads up. 2. The corrosion resistant coating is more of an afterthought rather than a component. I expected some sort of plated or powder coated rotor body but it seems to just be thin ablative coating. I live in New England so these things still started rusting after a month of getting salt washed and sand blasted on the roads...not a big deal since I have a can of POR15 on hand to just lightly paint the non contact surfaces with. But do be aware of that.

Long Brake in Period, Not So Great for Normal Daily Use
EBC® - Stage 1 / Stage 20 Street Plain Brake Kit
These have a serious bite, but I daily about 130 miles a week, not a lot but the brakes didn't stop squeaking for almost a month. No more squeaks now, BUT the front rotors is already showing oxidation if I don't drive the car for a day...they said the rotors were treated... I do not know the rears are always shinny.. I would recommend these if you drive a lot or are adding a bit more power to the car and need a stronger brake..road the brakes hard a while ago around some twists and turns, had no feeling of brake fade.

Less than Brembo rotors and pads these replaced....Shipping was fast and installation, as it should be..no issues.

This product is exactly what I needed to replace my 2010 Chevy Colbalts stock rotors. Fit perfectly! Relativiley inexpensive. So far no issues.

Everything was machined perfectly and fit great, I love my new brakes, theses S2 really help with fast stopping which my truck lacked big time.

Got the Rotors and pads for rear and front for a 2006 Cobalt SS/SC a week after purchasing. Instillation was pretty straight forward. Break in period is 300 miles I have put 50 miles on them as of today. So far so good first 10miles the pads and rotors grinding slightly. Then started getting better now at 50 miles no grinding no vibration. So I'm a happy customer.

The initial look and quality of these rotors and pads are far superior than any brake parts I have purchased in the last 10 years from local auto stores. I bought this car new and the brakes rumbled and grinding noise of metal on metal from 3,000 miles till now 33,000 miles. The original Ford Motorcraft brakes were poor at best. I have already been through the break in process of the rotors and pads and the car stops very well and quiet.

Great Brake Set
I bought a set of EBC stage 1 brake kit for the rear of my 2010 TSX, the rotors were nicely painted and the brake pads were made of very good quality, better than what my locale shops were offering me. I'm so happy with this set I'm going to order the front set even if i don't need them right now.

EBC brakes are great and from other reviews I agree. The price for this kit was very affordable. Hopefully they make the green stuff pads or other pads for my car but glad and happy with what I got.
