EBC Brakes DP41657R Yellowstuff Street and Track Brake Pad

Product Information

Find this complicated? – we tend to agree but all organic pads no matter which brand do need some bedding in to avoid loss of brake and a lot depends on rotor condition, the slightest hollow of the rotor surface will extend the bed in times a lot. So being accurate is important. For those who thinks Red Stuff is all ceramic, so it's no different from your OEM pads, let me share my actual experience: FADE 3 – Perform 6 high-pressure snubs from 90-20mph with a maximum acceleration between consecutive snubs. (approx 0.8g decel, or 80% of an emergency stop)

Lohen offers in-house fitting for all products at our workshop in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, ST21 6JL. Here are the important things you need to know:

The 2nd vehicle in the family is a 2012 Mazda CX-9. Right now it's about time for new brake pads. I will be trying the Yellow Stuff on the CX-9. Directors of the Board of Porsche Club GB, Club Office Staff, Register Secretaries and Regional Organisers are often requested by Club members to provide information on matters connected with their cars and other matters referred to in the Club Rules. Such information, advice and assistance provided by such persons is given in good faith and is based on the personal experience and knowledge of the individual concerned. On a safe straight road with no cars close behind or in front at approx. 40-50 mph apply the brake to 30% or so pressure whilst continuing to press the accelerator to main vehicle speed for as long as safe to do so, you will need approximately a clear quarter mile to do this so make sure you have that. This will drag the brakes, get them hot and take them past the 400-500C level required for bed in and you may even smell brake odour. You may feel the pedal go a little spongy, if it gets too soft abort the process and start again later. What is too soft? Too soft means that you feel that the brakes are not responding well. Yellowstuff performance range is a high friction aramid fiber pad, totally resistant to brake rotor vibration, and easy on rotors.

I run both pads you mention with the exception that the Tarox Strada pads are the same compound characteristics and pedal feel and durability as Ferodo DS2500. You CAN use the “ Real-world experienced driver – faster street bedding routine”- described above if you are bedding the pads in on the street The new EBC Yellowstuff compound is essentially a race pad but with a BIG difference in that it works from cold and can be safely used on the highway. If you want the Ultimate in High Friction Braking this is the pad to choose. Brakes feel superb from first touch of the pedal and stay effective up to race temperatures. When considering full-race use on lighter cars, Yellowstuff has been a strong favorite. It is also the choice of 90% of the Mazda MX5 Miata competitors in the UK race series, used in drifting and on kit cars

Below is a list of all the models we list the ebc yellow stuff front brake pads for:

Allow pads to cool for 15 minutes minimum after coasting to the pits allowing brakes to cool a little. From what I can see from your pic the pads and discs looked to have gone off with excess heat, what happens then is they glaze, the glaze is really hard to clear, and that will be why even now on the road they are poor. I have had the same in the past. Stretched limos is another superb application for this material. EBC Brakes is now supplying this compound for stretched F250s, stretched Excursions, stretched Hummers which are subject to a PSV (public service vehicle) test. Vehicles which failed the PSV test with standard brakes passed the test quoting a 20% brake improvement when using this material. Race pads operate much higher in the temp range are usually made of much harsher materials that can abrade the discs much more rapidly and therefore fitting them on a car used for the Sunday shopping run could lead to much poorer braking event unless you are driving to the supermarket in a manner befitting of Police Camera Action!

The Pad and line Kit is supplied with EBC Yellowstuff™ pads for both front and rear axles. Unlike all other front ‘big brake kits’, which solely supply parts for the front axle, EBC includes matching Yellowstuff™ brake pads for the rear axle at zero additional cost to you. This ensures your vehicle ends up with an optimum brake balance and the rear axle shares a portion of the braking load, giving improved control under braking and shorter overall stopping distances. Why so long to bed in any way – We can (but don’t) sell pads that are classed as soft and bed in even faster or very abrasive pads that scrub away at the rotor, cause lots of dust and give the impression of a shorter bed in time. So the balance here is to make a variety of pads according to the different driving styles and events so that users can choose what’s best for them. A this time (Oct 2020), I'm probably 50% through the Red Stuff pad's life, it still feels as firm as day1. Firstly the Yellowstuff pads are racing spec, however, their bite from cold is spot on with no requirement to warm them up first to get decent stopping power and no brake squeel either, not a peep out of them. There is some brake dust, no worse than the OEM pads and will hopefully improve over time, it's not a show stopper though. As they've now bedded in properly I felt confident to test them a bit more vigorously with a few rapid 60 - 0 tests. I can say without fear of reprisal these brakes are damn good! Whatever problems EBC (may) have had in the past seem to be just that now, in the past. Compared to OEM it felt like an F-14 stopping on a carrier arrestor wire! Unfortunately this did highlight the fact that the standard S3 suspension is a bit bouncy, the front dips somewhat noticably!

Fast Road/Sports pads are still suitable for road use and though not as good initially at really low temps but can operate at much higher temp ranges without drop off (assuming the brake fluid doesn't boil), they are often made of more aggressive materials and have more chance of wearing down the discs in the process We advise using disc heat paint to ensure green fade is avoided, continue reading below for more details I rarely brake to the point for ABS to trigger; meaning I don't get close enough to the traction limit on braking. Mr Blinky I like these brakes, a lot. I didn't want to review them until I had done 1000 miles on them, and now I have. These are a really nice replacement for OEM. Fitting was a breeze. they really did fit like a glove. Really easy to get on and a nice snug fit (all 4 corners - discs and pads).

If this works well (not too much dust, etc), then when the Lancer's pads come up for replacement, I'll be putting in the Yellow Stuff in that one also. Once seated any brake pad made by EBC or anyone else, performs better once the pad goes through heat curing or what we call “Green Fade” which happens during its first severe use.Coasting after the bed in to allow discs to cool as you should not park the vehicle with HOT brakes. So be sure you have a road where it is safe enough to do this procedure with no imminent bends or stops in front of you so you can roll for a while and allow discs to cool, but if you need the brakes USE THEM On my 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.4L GTS (not the Ralliart, not the Evo), I made two changes starting in May 2018. If you drive aggressively or in a “Spirited” fashion on roads where it is safe to do so, after seating the pads to your rotors and certainly not before 300 miles of use , you should be prepared for the pad to emit an odour or even exhibit some smoke as the pads burn off what we call “surface volatiles”. Many faster drivers experience this in harder braking and criticize the pad whereas in fact, this is only part of the final high-end bedding in process as the pads see rotors temps of 400-500C for the first time (not normal in everyday driving).
