EBC Brakes DP41657R Yellowstuff Street and Track Brake Pad

Product Information

For folks who are curious about the Lancer 2.4L GTS turbo add-on: No, in the end, I did not go through with it. So I did some on-line research which included amongst others, the BMW Owners Club, Honest John, Facebook etc. and came to the conclusion that I ought to try some Greenstuff brake pads. What I EXPECTED: The boost in braking power I felt in Step1, I was expecting to FEEL a similar boost in brake power with this step2 change.

Fade 3 should not be necessary unless poor disc condition has prevented proper seating but if you have time DO perform Fade 3.Why so long to bed in any way – We can (but don’t) sell pads that are classed as soft and bed in even faster or very abrasive pads that scrub away at the rotor, cause lots of dust and give the impression of a shorter bed in time. So the balance here is to make a variety of pads according to the different driving styles and events so that users can choose what’s best for them. 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. I would not recommend the Orangestuff as they are not suitable for road use as they take a couple of pedal applications to produce any retardation - which is fine in a race situation as you're on/off all the time, but not so good on the road/motorway where you may not touch the pedal for 5-60 minutes. From what I can see from your pic the pads and discs looked to have gone off with excess heat, what happens then is they glaze, the glaze is really hard to clear, and that will be why even now on the road they are poor. I have had the same in the past.

I didn't have any measurement device to quantify it. By feel, it felt like roughly 20~30% better stopping G-force.We advise using disc heat paint to ensure green fade is avoided, continue reading below for more details If you drive aggressively or in a “Spirited” fashion on roads where it is safe to do so, after seating the pads to your rotors and certainly not before 300 miles of use , you should be prepared for the pad to emit an odour or even exhibit some smoke as the pads burn off what we call “surface volatiles”. Many faster drivers experience this in harder braking and criticize the pad whereas in fact, this is only part of the final high-end bedding in process as the pads see rotors temps of 400-500C for the first time (not normal in everyday driving). Don't forget that most of the other pad options from the other manufacturers are in the same position regarding their road legal status (i.e. ALL Pagid RS, Ferodo DS, Carbon Lorraine, etc.).

Step1: Changed all four pads from OEM pad to Red Stuff pad. In that same change, also replaced all 4 rotors with new OEM rotors.

Allow pads to cool for 15 minutes minimum after coasting to the pits allowing brakes to cool a little.

The Pad and line Kit is supplied with EBC Yellowstuff™ pads for both front and rear axles. Unlike all other front ‘big brake kits’, which solely supply parts for the front axle, EBC includes matching Yellowstuff™ brake pads for the rear axle at zero additional cost to you. This ensures your vehicle ends up with an optimum brake balance and the rear axle shares a portion of the braking load, giving improved control under braking and shorter overall stopping distances. Vs. the OEM pad, the bite and brake power on Red Stuff is noticeably firmer. Stopping power noticeably improved vs OEM. Race pads operate much higher in the temp range are usually made of much harsher materials that can abrade the discs much more rapidly and therefore fitting them on a car used for the Sunday shopping run could lead to much poorer braking event unless you are driving to the supermarket in a manner befitting of Police Camera Action! To make this change, the front rotors also need to be replaced with Ralliart front rotors. (Otherwise offset won't match) FADE 3 – Perform 6 high-pressure snubs from 90-20mph with a maximum acceleration between consecutive snubs. (approx 0.8g decel, or 80% of an emergency stop)
