Yellowstuff - 4000 "R" Series Full Race Brake Pad - Product Information
A TRUE PERFORMANCE PAD That also has good manners on the street
EBC yellow 1793 compound is s true winner all round, it has high friction from cold, not requiring warm up for street use yet when loaded up and really hot the brakes just get better. Even up to truck weights these pads grip and do NOT heat fade.
EBC yellows are ECE Brake safety tested which means they MUST work perfectly from cold at least as good or better than stock pads. When Yellows see some heat (which is not tested for in the ECE R 90 brake safety regulations) they really show their pedigree. On Japanese cars built with lower friction FF rated pads these deliver a full grade higher stopping and on German cars built with GG these are about the only aftermarket pads that will match or beat the pretty good German OE spec pads and that takes some doing.
Not only a high friction pad but very resistant to heat and loads of heavy braking has means that Yellowstuff has been used with great success in race cars and on high speed Police Vehicle brakes alike. EBC Yellowstuff pads are used on the UK Silverstone Race Track Drivers experience cars because of their high performance and longevity. Yellowstuff also claimed a win in the Targa rally and for two years running in the Brazil Mitsubishi off Road Team Desert Challenge Because of its huge heat range. The applications where EBC Yellowstuff will deliver benefits range from fastest street use on higher horsepower sedans to Trackday and Race use on most street based cars and even as a brake upgrade on Trucks and SUV. Yellowstuff is especially appreciated on Trucks for towing and heavy loads and where upgraded, oversized wheels and tires have been installed. In longer races use EBC Bluestuff NDX needs to be considered.
Yellowstuff is NOT rated as low dust and creates similar dust to OEM pads, if low dust is what you seek, EBC Redstuff should be your choice for fast street use.
Yellowstuff Truck and SUV Performance Brakes - Product Information
Light Truck Drivers love them because normally race pads require a warmed up period but not the EBC Yellowstuff. This compound works well even when cold and is therefore a perfect solution if you simply want the best stopping power you can get for street use on a truck or SUV where the brakes are “Marginal” from the factory or if you have enhanced your ride with oversize wheels tyres or if you have lifted and raised suspension, all of which place a much higher demand on your brakes.
Drivers towing trailers love them due to the fact that towing brings extra loads which brings a "cushy" feeling when utilizing original equipment or low friction aftermarket pads, ultimately not inspiring confidence whatsoever. EBC Yellowstuff gives you as much bite as you can get from a stock system and a noticeable brake improvement under loads of towing.
Important Guidelines for Changing Brake Pads and Rotors
Always replace brake pads when replacing rotors. It is false economy to use worn or old pads on new rotors as they can cause hot spots and promote brake fade and more than double bed in time. Doing so is both dangerous and bad economics.
