EBC Yellow Stuff Brake Pads

Great track day pads for the price. Never any fade and torque is consistent over a session. If used on the street, be aware performance is reduced when the pads are cold.

We are still breaking the pads in preparation for a track event next month. Installation was straight forward but there are features with the factory pads that were not implemented on these replacement pads. The factory pads have wear indicators on all four front pads that are also utilized to pull the leading part of the pad away from the rotor to reduce the noise. I have to modify the factory pieces to remove the spring so it would not get in the way with the new EBC pads. This may not be a big issue but I hate destroying a factory part to make a replacement aftermarket one work. I will post up a followup review once the go to the track.

The pads are very well performing. The inital cold bite is not excellent, but that is expected. There is no fade at all when brakes are smoking hot. The only thing i do not like is the squeaking when city driving.

These pads are excellent. great wear in and stopping power. They hold true all day at the track.

Brakes work well. Nice smooth stopping.

After buying a set of factory Toyota pads and being unsatisfied. So I bought a set of "Performance" pads from the local auto parts store, Better but still not good enough. Bought the EBC pads because I trust the company and I use their pads on my bicycle and ATV. Although a bit pricy I figure having confidence in your brakes could save your life so it is worth it. It now stops like a sports sedan and I love it!

In preparation for my first track day with my IS300, I read a few forums concerning brake pads. A person doing a casual track day could get away with factory pads and rotors, so I bought new pads and did the track day. My pads were over half gone and a had a high-speed braking vibration by the end of the day - but I had fun, so I would be attending another one. This time I found out who the players were in the world of track pads and went with EBC after reading the reviews from people with large tracks and people who did track days - easily the hardest people to satisfy. Overwhelmed with positive responses, I ordered my pads (yellow) and they arrived a few days before the track day. I bedded the brakes exactly as specified then drove to the track day. The first few laps I just did some normal braking to make sure nothing would surprise me when I really got on them. The first time I really got into the brakes, the car almost threw me through the windshield - It was UNREAL how well these pads worked. I braked deeper and harder and the pads only got better. There was NO SQUEAL and the dust was minimal and came right off the wheels. My lap times dropped considerably and my braking was consistent the whole day. I have not removed the brakes yet - I love them too much! There is a very slight squeal now, but only on initial contact. The braking feel and initial bite are astounding. I highly recommend these brakes to anyone doing a track day or aggressive street and mountain driving. The only thing I don't like is having yellow pads on my car, but the exposure is minimal (tips of the backing). Thanks EBC!

Installed on the front of a 91 RX7. Hydraulic problems at the track kept me from giving these pads a serious workout, but they did have a good initial bite and maintained friction even though I could smell them towards the end of every session. Overall friction level was still not in "track pad" territory, but these seem like they will be good ultra high performance street pad. Dust was seriously easy to clean off too.
