EBC Yellowstuff is a high-efficiency performance brake pad for high friction and improved stopping power on modern vehicles. They work well from cold and self seat after installation due to its applied brake-in surface coating.
Not only are they high friction pad, they are also very resistant to heat and fade. Yellowstuff has been our go-to recommendation for any customer that wants the best performance braking compound on the street. Many of our own employees use this compound on their own VW and Audi vehicles.
Because of its huge heat range, we can confidentially recommend EBC Yellowstuff brake pads will deliver benefits to vehicles ranging from hot hatches to even the latest high horsepower sport models. If you like to drive and stop fast, EBC Yellowstuff pads are for you.
Key Features:
- EBC's flagship top selling high friction brake pad for improved braking – UK made and a very high-end pad
- Suitable for Fast street cars, trucks and SUVs wherever a decent braking performance upgrade is required
- Super quiet smooth braking under all conditions, fully shimmed slotted and chamfered construction
- Excellent cold bite coupled with high-temperature fade resistance
- Progressive braking with unparalleled pedal feel
- Drastically reduced stopping distances compared to factory pads
- Brake-In™ coating for accelerated pad bed in period
- R90 approved thus legal for public highway use
- For track use Bluestuff may be a better choice due to bedding in speed which is much shorter with Blue
- Made with Nucap NRS hooks on back plates to totally eliminate the chance of pad debond
Dust Generation
These are not low dust pads whatsoever and will often generate more dust than factory equipped brake pads. If you are looking for a low dust, premium street use pad, we recommend considering EBC Redstuff pads. Please note however that Redstuff pads are not designed for use on track, and will not offer the same level of performance as Yellowstuff pads.
Track Use Information
Although the new Yellowstuff compound WILL work fine under shorter duration track or trackday (lapping) use on lighter cars or for drifting, it does take longer to bed in. If track driving is your main purpose, we recommend choosing Bluestuff or RP1 and RPX brake pads. If you do choose to use Yellowstuff pads on track, please note that you will need to allow extra time to bed in your brakes.
Yellowstuff pads do make for excellent autocross usage where cold initial braking performance and the need for high friction are concerns.
