Enhanced Performance with EBC Brakes DP41986R Yellowstuff Street and Track Brake Pad Review

These pads are great if you are trying to use them on the track and on the street. I know this leads to suboptimal track performance, but I don't have time to change pads before every track day. No noise / squeaks on the road and the same braking power and dust in daily driving as the stock pads.

Very good pads. Used them on a 2012 Audi S4 (3700 pounds), stock braking system. Despite the incredible heat (the tire valve caps were melting), there was virtually no fading. Bite was good and progressive although I personally prefer more aggressive rubbers. Pedal feel is too soft for me and they squeak a bit (not uncommon for autocross/trackpads) so I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise these are very good pads. I am impressed. In any case, I'm a club driver and have been driving on the…

Very happy so far. You don't need to sand the rotor as these pads come with a "sanding pad". It's as rough as sandpaper and cleans the rotor for you. Just put it on. Handled a full day of track bullying very well and also in a 3600lb machine. Minimal brake dust (except when you first put them on and grind them, then tons of dust). No noise! Only negative so far, it was a bit difficult to put it back in the caliper. I'm used to the pads simply being inserted. I ended up using my C-Clip to put…

Installed them on my 2013 B8.5 A4 before a track day. Before installing these pads, the A4 was bone stock. They held up well, but when they were removed the lining began to crumble. There should be a flat surface between the pad and the rotor as you can see in the photo, there isn't. My ABS started reacting randomly after a day on the track because there wasn't enough contact between the rotor and the pad. For a lighter car that's probably great, but for a two-day trip on an A4 they just don't…
