With a compound that works perfectly from cold, but only gets better as the pads get hot, these are an unusual combination of road and track usability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for road and track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent stopping power from cold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove as they get hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEBC's Yellowstuff compound is one of their newest and an outstanding combination of from-cold usability and high-temperature resistance. They do not represent the trade-off you sometimes get with other compounds where a high upper operating temperature comes at the expense of low-temperature ability. Most Yellowstuff brake pads pass ECE R90 testing which requires that a pad work well at low temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from an aramid fibre based brake compound with high brake effect from cold, these high friction pads do not require warm-up and get even stronger under the heat of hard driving. It is very resistant to heavy braking and heat, and this has allowed Yellowstuff to be used with great success in shorter track events and on high-speed Police vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a slightly harder compound, so offers good positive pedal feel. Disc wear is not excessive either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellowstuff pads are used in the Silverstone Drivers experience cars because of their high performance and long life. Because of its huge heat range, EBC Yellowstuff really work well on cars used for very high-performance road driving - from high power saloons like M3's to trackday pocket rockets that are driven to and from the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEBC do recommend Yellowstuff for track day use and other short term track use.

When Yellowstuff see some heat (which is not tested for in the ECE R90 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-efficiency performance pad for high friction and improved stopping power. Not only a high friction pad but very resistant to heat and lots of heavy braking means that Yellowstuff has been used with great success in fast street cars and Police vehicle brakes alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEBC Yellowstuff was upgraded during 2021 to remove copper from the mix to comply with environmental legislations and as the new mix lasts longer it is not now being suggested as a track material due to the longer bedding in process required. On the street, bedding happens naturally in the first 100-200 miles of urban use but for those drivers wishing to arrive at the track with new pads and enjoy their day, our current suggestion is to use the Bluestuff formulation for track day driving both front and rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its huge heat range, the applications where EBC Yellowstuff will deliver benefits range from fastest street use on higher horsepower cars 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 wheel and tire oversize upgrades have been fitted. In trackday\/drift\/hillclimb races where earlier Yellow blends were suggested, although track capable, is no longer recommended for track use on most cars due to its long bed-in process. BlueStuff is now EBC's recommended entry-level race pad for all cars, which as a track hybrid is still great on the street and even better on track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen considering full-race use on lighter cars, Yellowstuff has been a strong favorite. It is also the choice of 90% of the Mazda MX5 Miata competitors in the UK race series, used in drifting and on kit cars. EBC Yellowstuff pads are also 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of UK Police forces use and love EBC Yellowstuff brake pads. EBC has extended fleet miles and reduced their fleet operating costs by allowing Police Chase cars to drive harder and longer in blue light events. These Police forces have been using EBC Yellowstuff for almost three years now and not one force has had an issue that has caused them to stop buying, they just want more of this fantastic brake product!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52855501324625,"sku":"DP42201R","price":107.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/6371\/5665\/files\/EBC-Brakes-YellowStuff-Performance-Brake-Pads-BMW-3-Series-E9X-_2005-2013_-EBC-Brakes-131044550.jpg?v=1767979231"},{"product_id":"bmw-m235i-ebc-brakes-rpx-racing-pad-front","title":"BMW M235i EBC Brakes RPX Racing Pad (Front)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeIn fadeIn animated wpb_start_animation\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRP-X™ Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nectar-fancy-ul animated-in\" data-list-icon=\"fa fa-check\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"extra-color-1\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade 100% in EBC Brakes’ Bristol, UK pad factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel backing plates (reduced heat conduction, no paint)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackplates feature Nucap® NRS® hook pad retention system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent pad life with moderate disc life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOT R90 approved for road use in European markets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade with Nucap NRS hooks on backplates to totally eliminate the chance of pad debond.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngineered for high-performance track driving, RP-X™ delivers a consistent friction level of 0.55 across temperatures ranging from 0 to 750°C (Ambient – 1400°F), ensuring 100% braking efficiency from cold.
