EBC YELLOW STUFF Review


Have these also, on my DC2. Compared to other brands like Ferodo these seem way less overpriced, you pay a lot less for the brand. It's not like they are worse than DS2500 but they cost a lot less. I've heard from a mate working at a car parts shop that Ferodo forces the shops to sell the pads for high prices otherwise they won't get new stock. And I wouldn't be surprised of Ferodo is not the only one doing this.

So Yellowstuff ftw, very good price/performance!

Yellows tend not to be listed, the same as the Bluestuff (i have ran bluestuff, they are better again but dont last as long and kick off a lot more dust, also not approved for street use yet so technically illegal).

front code for the yellows is DP4872R
Blues are DP5872NDX

That was a while ago so maybe you had the so called Old Design

I paid for the full race version (YellowStuff R?), and after bedding in they only lasted two testing sessions, maybe 16 laps at the most?

By the end of the last session they were fading badly, and so I decided to call it quits and by the time I went back into the pits they were well alight. Some quick thinking by my support crew put them out.

They weren't cheap, but not as expensive as Pagid (for good reason, Pagid are the very best you can buy, RS4-2 Blue is the best street/trackday pad you can buy, bar none), but I would have expected them to last a little longer than they did. After we left them in the pits for the rest of the day we had a closer look to find the pad material separating from the backing plate, and deep cracks across the pad surface. You could crumble the pad material away with your fingers!

Funny thing was I had been warned about them by another racer in my class, but thought "they can't be THAT bad!". Sure enough, they were ****.

Sound to me like the Yellow R Race pad is not actually a RACE pad after all. I would say more designed for a modded road legal track day car.

I rate the DS2500 but have now got silly expensive. As they generate a lot of heat they are hard on discs though.

My track day tomorrow i am using Project U carbon metallic pads front and rear :nerv:

Dunx
