EBC Brakes DP41657R Yellowstuff Street and Track Brake Pad

Product Information

What I EXPECTED: The boost in braking power I felt in Step1, I was expecting to FEEL a similar boost in brake power with this step2 change. You CAN use the “ Real-world experienced driver – faster street bedding routine”- described above if you are bedding the pads in on the street So I did some on-line research which included amongst others, the BMW Owners Club, Honest John, Facebook etc. and came to the conclusion that I ought to try some Greenstuff brake pads. Don't forget that most of the other pad options from the other manufacturers are in the same position regarding their road legal status (i.e. ALL Pagid RS, Ferodo DS, Carbon Lorraine, etc.).

For folks who are curious about the Lancer 2.4L GTS turbo add-on: No, in the end, I did not go through with it. 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. Allow pads to cool for 15 minutes minimum after coasting to the pits allowing brakes to cool a little. 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. I think the 2-piston basically spreads the same hydraulic force over a greater area on the brake pad. Meaning on a "per sq inch" basis, the 2-piston version is doing less work. So it has more room before reaching its limits. Benefit = being able to more precisely control & hold the right amount of brake force, when braking hard.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. 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. The latest Bluestuff DM3362 and Low Mu versions should only take Fade 2 and a 15 minute cooling time to be ready to race. What I suspect: If I didn't drive the 1-piston caliper setup to its limits, I wouldn't feel the "extra operation boundary" the 2-piston is giving me.

Using advanced R&D and manufacturing technologies, EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads work just as well cold as hot; this means you don’t need to warm up the brakes before you feel the full performance of these pads. They also produce low dust and noise than most race compound pads, helping to keep your alloys cleaner, deliver more performance and at the same time less squealing at low speed. CookieYes sets this cookie to record the default button state of the corresponding category and the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie.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. For those who thinks Red Stuff is all ceramic, so it's no different from your OEM pads, let me share my actual experience:

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: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!

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. 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. Vs. the OEM pad, the bite and brake power on Red Stuff is noticeably firmer. Stopping power noticeably improved vs OEM. 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. Your pads should feel entirely different to before the process, they should feel sharp and much more responsive. This process is called eliminating “Green fade” by burning off those surface volatiles.The reason I made this change: I was preparing my car for a turbo. Figured I'd improve braking before I mess with horsepower. EBC Brake Shop is not responsible for any additional costs as a result of extended delivery times, unless prior consent is given in writing by a member of EBC Brake Shop staff. 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. 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). We advise using disc heat paint to ensure green fade is avoided, continue reading below for more details
