EBC Brakes DP41657R Yellowstuff Street and Track Brake Pad

Product Information

Fade 3 should not be necessary unless poor disc condition has prevented proper seating but if you have time DO perform Fade 3.

I think the 2-piston basically spreads the same hydraulic force over a greater area on the brake pad. Meaning on a "per sq inch" basis, the 2-piston version is doing less work. So it has more room before reaching its limits. Benefit = being able to more precisely control & hold the right amount of brake force, when braking hard. You can't have your cake and eat it, brakes have an operating window, some have quite a large operating window but there is always a compromise. Standard road pads operate very well at low temp and are good uptown moderate high temps, but as they aren't designed for high temps going barreling from one braking event to the next before they have cooled can end in disintegration. They are also often made of a material much softer than the discs and therefore tend to not damage the discs as muchLohen offers in-house fitting for all products at our workshop in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, ST21 6JL. Here are the important things you need to know:

Coasting after the bed in to allow discs to cool as you should not park the vehicle with HOT brakes. So be sure you have a road where it is safe enough to do this procedure with no imminent bends or stops in front of you so you can roll for a while and allow discs to cool, but if you need the brakes USE THEM On a safe straight road with no cars close behind or in front at approx. 40-50 mph apply the brake to 30% or so pressure whilst continuing to press the accelerator to main vehicle speed for as long as safe to do so, you will need approximately a clear quarter mile to do this so make sure you have that. This will drag the brakes, get them hot and take them past the 400-500C level required for bed in and you may even smell brake odour. You may feel the pedal go a little spongy, if it gets too soft abort the process and start again later. What is too soft? Too soft means that you feel that the brakes are not responding well. The new EBC Yellowstuff compound is essentially a race pad but with a BIG difference in that it works from cold and can be safely used on the highway. If you want the Ultimate in High Friction Braking this is the pad to choose. Brakes feel superb from first touch of the pedal and stay effective up to race temperatures.The latest Bluestuff DM3362 and Low Mu versions should only take Fade 2 and a 15 minute cooling time to be ready to race. Find this complicated? – we tend to agree but all organic pads no matter which brand do need some bedding in to avoid loss of brake and a lot depends on rotor condition, the slightest hollow of the rotor surface will extend the bed in times a lot. So being accurate is important. Allow pads to cool for 15 minutes minimum after coasting to the pits allowing brakes to cool a little. We advise using disc heat paint to ensure green fade is avoided, continue reading below for more details To make this change, the front rotors also need to be replaced with Ralliart front rotors. (Otherwise offset won't match)
