A world number 1 selling pad grade, EBC Yellowstuff is designed for drivers who want great stopping power on fast street use on modern sedans and hot hatches.
It is 100% R90 approved for street use in European markets, but safe for use everywhere.
We no longer recommend Yellow for dedicated track use. While some sponsored racers still use Yellow for drifting, hillclimb, or lighter cars on the track, this has caused some confusion. Yellow has a green fade threshold of 400°C (750°F) — the temperature at which the pad fully cures its resins for higher-temperature use – which is the maximum expected temperature in fast street driving.
In short: Yellow is perfect for confident road driving on any vehicle at any speed. However, track conditions can push brake temperatures above 500–600°C (1100°F). For those situations, our Bluestuff pads (a fast street and track combination) or our RP and SR series pads are the better choice.
Choose the right pad for track driving – otherwise, enjoy Yellow, a brilliant fast street pad used by millions of drivers safely at all speeds.
Fast Drivers Love it because…
EBC Yellowstuff is an aramid fibre-based brake compound with a high brake effect from cold and is possibly one of the first-ever compounds that can be used for street and on lighter cars in track driving. These pads do require some warm-up and a longer bedding procedure (read about bedding in your brakes here) but get even stronger under the heat of hard driving. These are not low dust pads, if your desire is for a low dust premium street use pad, you should consider EBC Redstuff. Please note however Redstuff is not for the track.
When 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
In 2022 EBC launched their new faster bedding Bluestuff grade which has even higher fade resistance than yellow and has a super-fast bed in time. If you want a super-fast bed-in at the track, go for the Blue NDX grade.
