"Purchased and installed these brake pads on my front calipers a week before a high speed touring event at a road track. The fitment was a tiny bit off where it took some effort of lining them up properly to get them into the caliper, but eventually they went in. After bedding them in and getting past the green fade, they grip very very well over the EBC Redstuff that I had on previously. They never faded on me at the track and still have a lot of life left on them after over an hour of track time. I can probably run 3-4 more events on them. They have lasted much longer than my Redstuff which were half destroyed after one event. Daily driving they drive like a street pad should and have not squealed on me thusfar. Only complaint is that on my application, they don't have noise wear indicators and don't have an integrated shim like the redstuff did, rather, they came with sticky-shims that I had to cut out and stick onto the brake pad, which with heat are starting to come off from the track event."

"My Acura RDX now can stop on a dime. These are far superior than the OEM brakes that were on the car. When you purchase a luxury performance vehicle you would think that you would have high end parts installed on the car from the manufacturer? Wrong! Who would think that just changing the brake pads would give the car such a better response when stopping. I would highly recommend these brake pads for ANY vehicle!"

"Replaced stock pads with EBC yellow stuff. Followed bedding procedure and then drove gently for a few hundred miles as instructed. The brakes far outperform stock pads in initial bite and fade resistance transforming the car to superhero brake status. They are however very dusty making a mess of the wheels in no time. The do quite well for Autocross applications and I'll try them at an HPDE next week. So far I can confirm they are a nice upgrade for the street and autocross if you can live with the dust which is similar to other high performance pads I've used."

EBC rotors and yellow stuff brake pads

"EBC brake pads and EBC dimpled/slotted rotors are a winning combination. I own a Ford F-150 Crew with a six inch lift. 31 inch tires. I could never tell where it was going to stop with the stock setup. Huge difference since I installed the new rotors and pads. Now I know where it's going to stop! Huge safety advantage. The articles and books don't lie, once you increase the spinning mass you've got to have improved braking!"

"If you expecting these pads to stay yellow you will be disappointed. I got mine so hot that they turned white-ish black. In short, you get what you pay for, but these EBC brake pads come with a lot of nice features standard like bed-in coating, wear indicator, backing plate coating for caliper pistons and tapered edges to reduce squeal when driving on the street, which is nice because some aggressive/track pads (Ferodo) squeal so bad when used on the street it is embarrassing. When pads are cold initial bite is poor (for this reason I would not recommend them solely for the street, but could suffice as a pad to get you to/from the track as well as then being used on the track if you give yourself extra braking time/stopping distance); however, once brought up to temp initial bite was decent. My brake pedal got long and the brakes started to fade about 15 to 20 minutes into my 25 to 30 minute track stint with ATE Super Blue brake fluid used. I think with better front brake cooling on my 350Z they would last the entire stint and be a highly recommended brake pad for the money. As they are and all else equal on my car/application and same track; CarboTech XP10 pads performed better, but cost like $80 more for a set of front pads and don't last as long (and don't have all those other nice features). So decent brake pad for the money, but performance drops off in the higher temperature range IMHO."

"These are my second set of yellow stuff. The first set was on a different car and I consistently sounded like a garbage truck with the squealing. I ended up having to take them off and only install them for track days. I first went with the red stuff but they experienced fade after extended runs on the road course and they had a small amount of squeal in reverse from one of the rears. After I first installed these pads, all four wheels squealed like crazy. Even after bedding them in a couple times, I still turned heads at every stop light. It was mainly the rear brakes at this point and it actually vibrated the brake hardware. Ran at a HPDE last week and used them very, very hard. They performed excellent the whole day with no fade. And now the squealing has stopped. I suspect the squeal may come back with light street driving. You really can't drive them hard enough on the street. Recommended for heavily tracked cars only."
