EBC S8 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit

Front Brake Kit with Orangestuff Pads and GD Rotors

S8KF1243

Overview:

The EBC S8 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit offers a premium solution for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance for both street and occasional track use. This kit combines high-quality Orangestuff brake pads with durable GD vented rotors, providing reliable stopping power and improved heat dissipation. Designed for enthusiasts who want dependable braking performance without sacrificing daily drivability, this kit is ideal for spirited driving and track events.

By purchasing the kit, you save 15% compared to buying the pads, rotors, and caliper lube separately. The Orangestuff pads included are a step up from the Bluestuff grade, offering a longer lifespan while maintaining strong friction characteristics once properly bedded. However, regular monitoring is recommended, especially if you drive home on these brakes after track sessions.

Key Features:

This comprehensive brake kit is engineered to deliver consistent performance and durability under demanding conditions. Key features include:

• Includes front Orangestuff brake pads known for their strong bite and extended life compared to Bluestuff pads.
• GD vented rotors with 5 bolt holes, designed to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade.
• Rotor specifications: 330mm diameter, 56mm height, 28mm thickness, and 72mm center hole diameter for precise fitment.
• Pads and rotors engineered to work together for optimal braking performance and pedal feel.
• Caliper lube included to ensure smooth caliper operation and prevent noise or uneven pad wear.
• Safe for street driving once the pads are properly bedded, making them suitable for daily use and track events.
• Designed for vehicles requiring FMSI Pad No. D1589 fitment, ensuring compatibility with specific front brake assemblies.

Construction & Design:

The GD rotors feature a vented design that enhances cooling by allowing air to flow through the rotor vanes, reducing the risk of overheating during aggressive braking. The rotors are precision manufactured to meet strict quality standards, ensuring consistent thickness and flatness for smooth braking performance.

EBC’s Orangestuff pads utilize a high-friction compound optimized for both street and track conditions. Their formulation balances strong initial bite with controlled wear, providing reliable stopping power and longer service intervals compared to more aggressive pad grades.

Installation & Fitment:

This kit is designed as a direct replacement for front brake components that use the FMSI Pad No. D1589 specification. The rotors feature 5 bolt holes and precise dimensions to ensure a perfect fit without modification.

Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians and uses existing mounting points. No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required to install this kit, making it a convenient upgrade for compatible vehicles.

What's Included:

• Set of front Orangestuff brake pads (FMSI Pad No. D1589)
