TECH TALKS
Welcome to EBC Brakes' 'Tech Talks' series, where we look at each of our friction materials in more detail.
Watch as R&D Manager, Steve Payne, talks us through the technical details of our product lines, whilst addressing common myths and queries in the process.
YELLOWSTUFF
This time, it's the turn of EBC's Yellowstuff pad to be put under the spotlight. Yellowstuff (EBC's yellow pad) is a road-legal high-performance road, track day and occasional race friction material that really does do it all - making it no surprise that it's one of EBC's best-sellers.

Hey guys, could you make a video on the different designs of discs etc slotted vs slotted and dimpled, what their purpose is and the benefits of them? Cheers 👍
Got a full set of yellows and slotted rotors on the way for my Colorado. She's been lifted with some meaty Baja boss tires on her and a good bit of engine work done, OEM wont cut it anymore. Can't wait to put them through they're places. All my buddies swear by them.
Was looking forward to this video. Many good stories on the interwebs and so much people using them. Will buy yellowstuff for my next set of pads
Thats great to hear, if we can help when you are looking to purchase please get in touch.
I like the Yellowstuff because its so agreeable, like you said, works from cold to run to the shops, but also stands up to some track abuse. I'm sure the higher spec compounds will perform better on longer track sessions, but you want to be able to stop properly when you leave home at 6am on a cold morning to get to the track in the first place! I do find that they make a bit more dust than OEM pads, but its a fair trade off.
well said
Had yellowstuff on a Scirocco R and loved them. Bite from cold OE but you can LEAN on the brakes again and again they don't fade but actually get better with heat in them. Zero noise in that car and dust normal. I'll consider them when my OE M2 pads need replacing for sure.
Hi Peter, that is great to hear. If you ever need to get in touch feel free to email us at technical@ebcbrakesuk.com Have a great evening 👍
I had noise issues in the beginning with my Yellowstuff, it turned out that the color on the side of the pad, did not always break of properly and would keep grinding against the disk. What I figured out as a workaround, was to reverse and do some hard braking, that would remove the loose color fragments and the noise. After a some more miles the problem disappeared entirely.
Hi Mihaly, it's great to hear that you are enjoying your new braking set-up. You will always get some noise when bedding in as the pads and discs will both have bedding material that will need to be worn off during the bed-in process so that they mate together properly. If you ever have any questions etc. regarding your set up please don't hesitate to get in touch directly at < technical@ebcbrakesuk.com > Have a great day 👍
@@EBCBrakesUK My bluestuff worked perfectly and did not seem affected by the same issue. Will be buying them allround in the future :)
Been using Yellowstuff on road & track for the last year. Good on the road and great on track, only negative I’d say is the wear rate is high compared to other fast road/track pads. Going to try your Bluestuff for my next track day and see if they last a bit longer.
That's great to hear that you have had such a good experience with the Yellowstuff, our Bluestuff video is next to be released so keep an eye out for that. If we can help you with anything else please do get in touch 🙏
lasting longer and better performance dont go hand in hand , expect less life but more performance
I've used these pads and the slotted/dimpled EBC rotors. Excellent bite for street, no squeal, do hear the sound of the pads against the rotors but only slight and thats with windows down driving in parking lots or low speed. If there's a down side, it's the dust. in my experience they are very dusty. About every three to four days your wheels will look dirty. That said the performance over OEM is much better. Put is this way they are just as dusty as my Hellcat and Mustang with the larger brakes. This particular set was put on my pickup truck. I have a heavy foot and drive in the mountains. Was tired of warping my rotors and wanted a better bite. These did exactly that. I've tried ceramics in the past and although they are quiet and low dust, they never seem as good as the OEM or better.
Currently looking at another set for my new truck and tossing the idea around about the Orange Stuff. I cannot tell if the combination of rotors and pads were the success. The Mustang are standard venting and the Challenger are slotted. Both stop very well for street use both have stood up to well over 100 mph speeds with no fade. My dilemma is, do I stick with what worked or choose slotted or try just a smooth rotor this time.
Hi Ken! Thanks for leaving a comment. If you reach out to our technical support team at technical@ebcbrakesuk.com they can advise you on exactly what is best for you :)
Just ordered them for front and back on my bmw m235i with my brembo calipers and Zimmermann dimpled and slotted rotors. I chose them over Ferodo DS2500s because of people praising the initial bite which is something I look for in a pad. Had Hawk HPS 5.0 on another car but they seemed the same as stock.
@Kyle Smith, are you happy with this setup, especially pad life with slotted discs? I’m on Oem discs and ferodos currently, but just about to replace the fronts. Keep wondering whether to go for solid, or slotted discs (I already bought yellow stuff pads;) Same car;) let me know please.
Hello, when did you start using break in coating on your pads, I ordered some rear yellowstuff pads for my mx5 nb (DP41003) and they dont have any coating on them. Is it possible they arent the real thing?
Hi, please could you get in touch with our technical team to confirm authenticity -
< technical@ebcbrakesuk.com > Have a great day.
Are these organic, metallic or ceramic compound?
Hi I've just fitted Yellowstuff pads to the front of my SAAB 9-5, I have fitted them to my current discs as they had plenty of meat on them. The problem is the pads are only wearing a small section on the discs, I have only done about 10 miles on them so far so hoping they will bed in across the whole face of the disc as I have a track day coming up soon...cheers
Hi, EBC would always recommend replacing the discs at the same time as pads however we understand this isn't always feasible. There is a multitude of things that could be causing this unfortunately, If possible could you send over some information and pictures to the below address and one of our advisors will be able to help sort this out for you. Have a great evening 👍

I was having a hard time getting track pads in my size “standard mustang Ecoboost” so I got the yellow stuff pads for my next track day. Hopefully they’ll be better then the Power stop Z26 pads. On the track those glazed after the first braking zone
update??
I bought a set of these for my car (2013 BMW 335i xDrive) and I used them agressively over a year of street sport, track days, winter rally events and autocross. the pads perform fantastically.
Bite performance is exceptional from -30 deg. C. up to summer track days pushing the car hard. The pads have not faded. occasionally after rain, i will get a bit of noise while the rust on the disk comes off but then no noise. Dust is a bit higher than OEM but expected of a pad with so much bite, modulation and fade resistance.
Just ordered some EBC Yellow stuff pads for my 67 reg F30 LCI 335D X Drive. My car came with the 340mm front rotors on the M Sport package and the standard grey brembo 4 piston calliper on the front. The brakes it has at present are awful and it requires early braking, on spirited drives I have to slow well before any corner as the brakes are not good, especially compared to those on the parents 68 reg BMW X1 F48 which are very grabby.
The front brake pad warning came up the other day stating 1,000 miles left, so thought it best to order these and give them a try. Was looking at Brembo pads which I've used before on previous cars or was going to try StopTech pads but ended up going for these as they seem the best overall. Not cheap pads by any means (£156 on a sale for the YellowStuff variant) and another £16 for the brake sensor wire but no doubt worth it when they arrive and are fitted.
@@thefiestaguy8831 How did the replacement feel?
Bit better. The pedal still feels spongey despite a brake fluid bleed but it's just a characteristic of the vehicle. It does brake a bit better but the pedal is the same. One thing to note is my word they don't have make a lot of brake dust. My brakes squeak and squeal as a result. Even jet washing the dust off less than 2 days later the noise is back. @@timlamein9637
Hi EBC Brakes, I am looking to get the EBC Yellow Pads for my 2022 Audi S6 Prestige model. I was wondering if these pads will have the same issue I am having with the OEM pads. The OEM pads grunt when coming to a slow stop, which is very annoying. The grunting noise does go away when the Pads are dry (when driving awhile). The issue is when the Pads are wet / moist due to weather which caused a grunting noise when coming to a stop. I think it's the material the is causing this, with that being said, Will EBC Pads experience the same issue? Thanks
Hi Scott, you shouldn't experience this with our Yellowstuff pads, they are very low noise.
I bought a set of yellowstuff pads for my car and my friend liked them so much he bought a set for his car. They're virtually silent on my car, but they squeal quite badly on his. Rotors were replaced in both cases, and the break-in procedure was observed for both. I completely understand that this is possible and not a normal occurrence, but is there anything that can do to help alleviate this?
Hi, we are sorry to hear that your friend is having a few issues. Could he please email and one of our advisors will be more than happy to help.
I just received my yellow stuff EBC brake upgrade for my E350 Benz.
Can you tell how to tell which goes on the back and which on front?
They both have that clip attached to the back ❗️
Hi Alexander could you send an email to - technical@ebcbrakesuk.com - one of our advisors will be more than happy to assist with your query. Have a great day.
Hi there. I have a bmw m4 competition f82. And try to see what are the Best pads for me. Street use and of course, one or two trackdays a year. Yellow or blue? Thanks in advance. Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹
Hi Joao, if you send an email to technical@ebcbrakesuk.com and they will be able to assist you further.
I have a EBC big brake kit which came with yellow stuff pads (the fronts weren’t coloured but the rear pads were yellow)
Would I be better off using RPX blue pads in the front for track?
Hi, Yellowstuff can handle the occasional track day, if bedded in correctly. However Bluestuff or RPX would perform better on track compared to Yellow. If you have any further questions, please reach out to kits@ebcbrakes.com. Thank you.
I got Yellowstuff 1 year ago for my infiniti EX37, 330 HP
Pads been working GREAT!
For now I am going to buy Redstuff, what do you think guys? I am worrying about much more noisy only
Hi Alex, if you want an upgrade from Yellowstuff we would recommend our Bluestuff NDX compound the reason for this is that Redstuff is more designed for people who want low dust. We have a full series on our channel explaining the difference between all of our compounds and what they are designed for. It is great to hear how well you have been getting on with the Yellowstuff. If you are still unsure on what compound to use please get in touch and we will try and help advise you 👍
@@EBCBrakesUK hi Could you recommend me some brakes with zero squeaks please?
Is it possible to share a friction coefficient vs temperature chart for all compounds in one chart similar to the one done in Ferodo Racing and Hawk website？
As soon as we are back in the office next week we will get the chart posted up 👍🏻
That's great! Thanks for the instant reply, that's very quick lol
@@EBCBrakesUK I cannot find this chart online, could you please provide the link to the page where this is posted? Thanks heaps :)
What’s best for daily driving and towing steep mountain roads on a 06 Tacoma? Not racing or anything like that but my brakes are getting hot on the steep winding roads.
Hi, if you email technical@ebcbrakesuk.com one of our advisors will be more than happy to discuss all aspects of braking with you and get you the best set-up available for your application 👍
what brake pads would you recommend for road and off road 4x4 use? Thanks in advance!
Either our ED+ pads or our Yellowstuff pads! :)
Hi I can't seem to find any yellow stuff front pads for my w245 2010 mercedes b class, are these available for my model?
Hi, unfortunately we don't have Yellowstuff for your vehicle. We do have other pad options available though!
Hi guys, I have the Yellowstuff now already in the garage and wanted to install them in my RS3 8V .
However, I have red calipers and had the idea to paint the brake pad holder (plate). Possibly also the transition / outer edge. Now it’s all yellow of course 😅 ...would have liked it discreetly painted in black (maybe thermal / exhaust paint ?!) Do you think that's a good idea or to what can you advise me whether and how I can do that ? ... what is the paint that is now attached ? and it goes also over the edge over to the pads / outer edge for the purpose of sealing , so I don’t want to make something wrong and damage my break system ..... what would be your recommendation. Or should I leave it and let the yellow pads hang out ;)
Looking forward to your feedback ☺️Many greetings and keep up the good work !
Hi! Your best bet would be to contact technical@ebcbrakesuk.com - They can help you from there :)
Just get over the colour difference ffs
Been running EBC discs and yellow stuff pads on my jag for a few months now, very impressed, only 'downside' is they are very dusty, but that is not a secret, so I was expecting it, just means I have to wash the baby more often 😅
Glad you like them, that is great to hear! If we can help you with anything in the future please feel free to get in touch.
You got a product code for 2020 Grand Cherokee Summit front and rears? I wanna try these out.
Hi, drop an email to technical@ebcbrakesuk.com and they can help you with this! We do have Yellowstuff available however there are a couple of options. Thank you!
Can anyone tell me how dusty these yellowstuff pads might be. Debating between Redstuff and yellowstuff for my Mk7 GTI and just want to make sure yellowstuff wont pepper my wheels up with dust after normal street use.
Hi! Redstuff will give you less dust. Yellowstuff is better for fast street driving and a bit of track. If you are only using your vehicle for regular street use then we would recommend Redstuff pads. For more info you can reach out to our technical support team at technical@ebcbrakesuk.com.
bought these pads back in November 2021 and it always squeals, they were checked/greased by 3 different garages (including the garage that installed GreenStuff Pads before and they never squealed). As greenstuff, i followed bedding procedure as per your website...squealing is progressively getting worse over the time..now im at the stage where pads are fine while cold, once they get warm they squeal horribly..... Would love to buy them again as i really like the breaking performance but for daily driving it's driving me mad as i feel like i'm driving a truck! ...i know you mentioned that the compound has changed in 2021 - is there a way to find out if my pads have the old or new compound? Thanks!
Hi, drop us an email and we will see what we can do to help. Reach us at technical@ebcbrakesuk.com.
@@EBCBrakesUK thanks! will do
can anyone tell me yellow or green for aggresive spirited street use?
Hi, for fast street we would always recommend Yellowstuff over our Greenstuff compound. However it does always depend on what vehicle you are using etc. If you need any more information or if you have any more questions please get in touch directly with us at Have a great day 👍🏻
I'm a road user, and my car is a Jaguar XF SV8, which is a heavy (1800kg) car with 410 bhp. I know the red stuff are OK, but are these a better option? Is brake dust more of an issue with yellow verses red?
Hi, thanks for reaching out. Please get in touch with our technical team for advice on this matter. You can contact them at the below address
Have a great day 😀
Out of interest, which set did you end up going for and and comments? I'm not sure whether to go for yellow or red
@user-en7nf4hc5z I went with the red stuff pads and the usr discs. They're working fine, perhaps not as much bite as I'd like, but the power is there, they're wearing well and there's next to no dust. Nice and quiet too, so I'm happy.
@@patkawasaki771 nice, I'll give them a go then. Beautiful car by the way, I have a S type R. Have you done any power mods?
@@user-en7nf4hc5z no mods, I'm very happy with the power it has (410bhp), and I spend any spare cash on motorbikes!
Would putting yellowstuff at the rear change brake bias compared to redstuff at the front for normal street use?
Hi, drop an email to technical@ebcbrakesuk.com and they can help you with this.
What us bedding process for greenstuff and slotted rotors
Hi! The bedding in process is included on the box that they come in :)
I need EBC discs and pads breaks for my Lexus Gs300 2007 is it possible
Hi, Please get in touch with our technical team for advice on this particular matter. You can contact them at the below address
Have a great day 😀
My ebc yellow stuff pads are VERY noisy under 20 MPH unless I’m breaking hard. Not sure why they would say they’re quiet pads.
Hi Daniel, if you get in touch with < technical@ebcbrakesuk.com > one of our technical advisors will be able to help with the problems you seem to be having. With a problem like brake squeal etc. there are so many variables that come in to play such as climate, bed-in procedure and duration, rotor/disc condition. If you send over an email we will do our best to get to the bottom of this for you. Have a great day.
Mine to bro it’s absolutely annoying but I have slotted rotors idk if that matters
Same. I even had them checked and they are wearing evenly. Everyone in the forms say the same thing for the ram 2500. Im hesitant to swap to orange. Every uses powerstop on the trucks but ive had nothing but issues with them.
Good thing the yellow stuff does stop better than i expected even when towing. But mainly aggressive street use.
I have a very weird noise, I installed the EBC grooved and dimpled discs and yellowstuff pads, the noise appears after 30mph and when braking. I can't describe the noise properly but it sounds like a very fast rythmic ticking noise. Can anyone help? I just installed last week. Thanks
Hi, thanks for getting in touch.
One point to consider before making your choice of sport rotor is the air noise that can be noticed with sport rotors. With all slotted rotors there will be an increase in air noise as the rotor passes beneath the pads under normal driving and braking. Some people like this kind of “Turbo” sound and others do not.
For this reason EBC produce two ranges of sport rotors, the 3GD or GD series being discussed here are the noisier of the two designs, our sister range the USR sport rotor range is MUCH quieter yet offers similar performance values
If you would like any more information please contact technical@ebcbrakesuk.com
Have a great evening 👍
What would be the best pads for BMW 650i ?
Hi, it really depends how you drive the car. These pads are great for spirited street driving.
Ive had a fair few pads on my car, i found the green stuff and yellow stuff quite poor, bite was poor and very dusty (using ebc discs too) i switched to PBS pads on factory discs and they are a little noisey, but the brake dust is alot less and the brake pedal feel is just immense, although to be fair the PBS pads are almost double the price of yellow stuff
Bought 2 sets a few days ago looking forward to receiving them
Installed my pads 2 days ago and got a few miles in them. My first thought was “So this is what brakes are meant to feel like!!” Really happy with them. Far superior to budget brands and materials.
Hi, that is great to hear. Let us know how you get on 👍
@@sdfhaesher4386 Any updates so far to how you like them?
I’m thinking of getting yellowstuff over greenstuff.
@@bryanslocks3481 I really like them. They feel as good as oem at cold and they bite super hard when hot. They are perfect for fast road
@@sdfhaesher4386 I’m sold!
Which is better for high speed braking over 100mph in a 600bhp 5,000lb car, orange stuff or yellow stuff?
Yellowstuff or Bluestuff would be best for you, we wouldn't recommend Orangestuff.
its one pad i have youesd and continue to in my hot hach cars only problem is trade of is very dusty great pads for the money well recomend
Yellow is awesome for audi rs6 v10
Thanks for the feedback! That's great to hear!
I have bought yellow stuff a week ago, but now I read on the Internet about inconsistent quality problems and I am actually scared.
Some say they are even worse than original.
Should I be worried?
You should not have any issues. What car have you got and how is it driven?
@@EBCBrakesUK hyundai i30n project c, daily / casual track, but now I drove 100km they feel really good.
Do you think I should also use yellow for the back?
Yes you can use the Yellowstuff on the rear too! Yellowstuff is designed for fast street driving and can handle the odd track day here and there, if you start to do track more often then we would suggest you think about moving up to Bluestuff on the fronts. Yellowstuff should hold up well for now though :)
I have placed my order for three months and still no shipping, no ETA. What is going on here?!
Hi, where did you order these pads from and what's the part number? Thank you.
“:Its rated very low dust pad”. Then you receive the pads and on the box stated yellowstuff as a very high dust pad 😄😄 going to try them anyway, just laughing at the marketing moves.
Hi! Could you please send an image of the box that states that yellowstuff pads is a very high dust pad? Could you email it to webmaster@ebcbrakesdirect.com
😂😂😂😂😂 fuckkkk
The best brake I use is to lift off the ' gas '.
Hello guys, Yellow stuff might be good for fast road use, but they're not suitable for track use for sure. I went through a bad experience, turning them into dust after 3/4 of track day in rainy conditions (These were 20 minute sessions every hour). YS were new, correctly bedded in on new cast discs. Result was very different when using another brand of pads. I believe you make good products, but you have to sell them for the right purpose.
Hi, we are so sorry to hear of your experience with the Yellowstuff compound. Please get in touch directly with our advisors at (technical@ebcbrakesuk.com) so they can look into exactly what we can do to resolve this and help you get the correct compound for your application. Have a great evening 👍
@@EBCBrakesUK Hello EBC team. Thank you for your answer. A comparative video with a numerical analysis (friction coefficient, wear, abrasiveness, visual analysis, quantity of dust, etc.) of your products on the measuring bench would already be a good idea, don't you think?
Nobody does this, but you could be a pioneer.
When you feel that the product sold does not correspond to what is written on the description, you don't want to do another experiment.
I will second this. One track day and the pads were shot. More than half used up. Had to swap them out before the next one.
I keep my brakes standard but well maintained😅.
EBC bed in process is way too long and unnecessary. It’s only to save their asses if someone fucks up so they aren’t liable. The best way to bed any pad is to do multiple 60/70 to 20s without coming to a stop and get them hot to the point of fading. Once you’re there, drive around for a while without stopping(a few stops to obey traffic are necessary but try to not press brake as much as possible.) I run Yellows on the track and this is what I do for bedding in and have never had a issue!
Hi, thankyou for your feedback we are glad to hear that you are getting on with our pads. We fully understand and acknowledge that people may not follow our bed in guidelines however these are here as the set way to bed in based on many hundreds of hours of testing and development. These guidelines are supplied with every set of pads and are there to make sure that people understand how to bed in their pads correctly. EBC Brakes fully encourage people to follow the instructions supplied. It is important to remember that everyone's situations are different and that whereas some people may just be bedding in new pads others may be bedding in new rotors/discs and pads. If you have any other questions please feel free to get in touch directly Have a great day.
This pad screems like a newborn baby, the biggest problem is no warning when pad is done.
Those issues aside, from 100mph to zero you won't find anything better.
