Great pads, bedded in as requested and wow! My truck feels like it lost 1000 pounds! I bought the Sport rotors and Yellow stuff pads together. What a combo if you have a heavy truck.

These pads brake much harder then the Hawk HPS they replaced, and are absolutely safe for the street. There is very little squealing, as well, though they give off a ton of dust. My only actual concern with them is that they left me with a much softer pedal then I started out with, an issue I had seen mentioned during my research. You have to press pretty far to get them to start biting, which can be a disconcerting feeling. They are excellent when they do begin to bite, though, so they are staying on the car.

Install Time: 2+ Hours

Installed very easy, fit was perfect, there was no brake noise. Factory should put these brakes on from the start. They stop excellent I also put on the slotted rotors from EBC. Would highly recommend.

Much better in initial bite than the stock pads. $100 less than the NISMO pads. This makes it a no brainer. Awesome pads for street or track at a good price. The only issue is more dust than OEM.

I was looking at $1000 for a big brake set up, but I thought that I should first try a set of high friction pads. Problem solved! No need for 3rd party brakes because the Yellowstuff pads + the EBC sport rotors are unreal.

I had stock pads and rotors on my 2008 Ford F150. Installed a 6 inch suspension lift with 325/65/18 tires and it took some pedal to stop the truck. I installed ebc yellow pads and sport slotted and dimpled rotors. The truck now stops better than when it came out of the showroom. I would highly suggest anyone with larger tires to invest in the yellow pads for safty alone.

These brake pads helped decrease my stop time and are very quite. I got these along with the EBC performance rotors and can really tell the difference between the stock pads and rotors I had on my dodge ram. Plus they look real cool too!

They work great. The new formula allows you to use them on the street. There's no issue w/ them not working when cold, and they don't fade either. They're dusty, and wear out fast, but that's to be expected with this kind of pad.

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.

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!

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.

After going metal to metal in less than an hour of track time on premium pads and new rotors I decided to step up my game to the yellow stuff pads and EBC slotted rotors. I also did a rear disc conversion with EBC pads and rotors in the rear too. Great combination. I am hitting the corners alot harder now and probably can hit them even harder with no brake fade and after a full weekend the pads still look like they are nearly new with very little brake dust in comparison to a stock type pad. I recommend these to anyone looking to improve their braking and they look good too.

I purchased EBC yellow stuff brake pads and front sport rotors for my Dodge pickup. I did this because I was not happy with the braking power for towing. The brakes work as advertised. Much better. The order however got sent to my billing address instead of my shipping address and one of the brake pads did not have the little squealer riveted onto it and the shim had come loose. All in all though it seems to be a good product. I will know more once I have worn them in.

Appearance is wonderful but, I now have more brake dust and the squealing is unbearable even after 500 miles. I bought the yellow stuff pads for my F250 because I installed the green stuff pads on my excursion and loved them. I wish I had the same experience with these pads.

I've ordered brake pad but didn't get delivered to me for a week. Finally, I've called and they say it's back ordered and it will take 3 weeks. I had an appointment for my brake job next day. Later that day, they called me and they can ship out the brake pad from other warehouse which they could of done at first time I ordered.

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.

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!

I just put these on my 07 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee and they are loud as hell. I am going to grin and bare it until the brake in period is over. I have 150 miles on them right now and they are getting better. Awesome bite and great performance. The hotter they get the better they perform but even cold they bite right into the rotor. I do notice a little more dust compared to my previous Centric Posi Quites but less than the OEM Brembo Pads that were horrible. I put Red Stuff's on my wife's RT charger also. Great pads and I will stay with these forever, just can't wait for the shrieking to stop. :) Cheers

Best brake pads I've ever used. Installed on my 2001 Dodge 3500 dually, outperform the stock pads by a huge margin. I drive this truck like a sports car, and still got 40,000 miles out a set, on a 6800 lb. vehicle no less. With 5000 lbs. of cinder blocks in the bed, I had to do a full-on emergency stop from 65 MPH when a clueless kid (on a cell phone, of course!) tried to merge into the side of my truck. With any other brake pad, she would have been toast. I highly recommend this product.

Excellent Stopping Power, even when cold. I have not bedded them in properly yet so there is very light squealing every now and then. However, I expect that to go away shortly. Dusting is about the same as stock, but the superb stopping negates any concerns of dust. Even though its considered a race pad, I find it's highly suitable for the street.

This is absolute the best price you will find on this product and beats the closest competition by a huge gap. I know because I buy this product on a regular basis, as I look for the best price, reliable dealer, best service and the best products. Auto Accessories is one of the only places I know of, with regard to automotive parts, that actually provides the tracking number. I really appreciate that, as I routinely have to call back and request the tracking number from other internet auto part places.I have to admit, I'm using the product under extreme conditions. This pads are on a 600 HP Mustang on road courses. I've decided that I need to upgrade my rear brake system, as it has 13.25 In. rotors, but the calipers are stock. The caliper paint is 900 degrees and I'm burning that off. So considering the extreme abuse these brakes are holding up better than other brands that I have tried.

I bought these yellow stuff pads because I drive mostly highway miles and I wanted a brake pad that would stop me quickly from highway speeds in an emergency. I have been driving on them for about 3,000 miles and they have great grip compared to the OEM brakes on my 2005 Corolla XRS. They did squeal the first 500-700 miles, but with my window up I could not hear it. It was slightly annoying with the windows down, but it went away after the perscribed brake-in time such that it rarely happens now.You can see some of the yellow on the rears and that looks pretty cool otherwise, you really can't see them on the front. They obviously don't look like painted calipers, so don't get them because you think you will see a significant difference in the appearance of your wheels. I replaced my rear rotors but only had my front rotors refinished on the brake upgrade, and they started warping. I am not sure if it is because of these high performance brakes or not, though I was careful to brake them in the first 1,000 miles or so. My mechanic refinished the rotors again and so far (after 500 miles), no problems. He did tell me if they warp again, I'll have to replace the rotors or possibly consider downgrading the brakes. At least in that regard, the verdict is still out for these pads. I might suggest upgrading your rotors or at least replacing them if you want to use yellow stuff pads. My overall rating is 3 stars because of this, but would be 4 stars if I knew for sure the brake pads weren't the issue with the warping rotors.
