Review on EBC Brakes DP41655R Yellowstuff Street by Jacob Sampino

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Now I'm not sure WHAT to think (see update)

These are good pads but I was expecting less pedal power. However, they stop and practically do not disappear when the car is driven heavily. I would say these pads are on par with the Akebono or maybe the old (American) Bendix ceramic pads. I like the fact that they produce quite a bit of dust which makes the wheels cleaner. I have paired the pads with EBC Brakes USR7116 USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors which are excellent. Also note that these are FRONT WHEEL brake pads. For some reason, Revain does not specify whether the car parts are front or rear, left or right. **UPDATE** I also recently switched the rear pads to Yellowstuff. On the plus side, it stops noticeably better. But now I think the front pads aren't yellow, more like miscolored Redstuff pads. The front wheels stay pretty clean, but the rear wheels turn to black, dusty mush after 100 miles. EBC says their yellow pads get a lot of dust, so I was surprised the front wheels stayed clean. I have Redstuff pads on another car and these wheels stay clean. Apparently if you buy Yellowstuff bars you run the risk of getting it wrong. Much luck!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • A few minor things
