Yellowstuff – 4000 “R” Series – Full Race Pad

Ultra High Friction Pads for Race, Trackday and Street Use.

EBC Yellowstuff is an aramid fibre based brake compound with high brake effect form cold and is possibly one of the first ever compounds that can be used for STREET AND TRACK DRIVING. These pads do not require warm up but do get even stronger under the heat of hard driving. These are not a low dust pad and if your desire is for a low dust premium street use pad, you should consider EBC Redstuff. EBC Yellowstuff is currently produced in two compound versions – DM1846 and DM1793, both of which have been used with some success in racing. HOWEVER, for standard OEM brakes, as fitted to your car, there is no doubt that the DM1793 is getting better feedback, as it is slightly harder, slightly longer lasting and more appropriate for track day driving.

When considering full race use, DM1793 has also been a strong favourite, having been used for two years in the Swedish Camaro Cup and at numerous other race events where a stock caliper system is fitted.

If using a high efficiency aftermarket race calipers with 4, 6 or 8 piston set ups, the sheer efficiency might allow the use of 1846 compound. DM1846 is currently the choice of the majority of GT3 drivers which are pretty serious competitors.

If you have any doubts about which compound to choose for your street and track combination pad, go for the 1793.

I just wanted to thank you all for your rapid response and the solution to by braking problem. After installing the Yellowstuff front pads you sent and running them for a few hundred miles, all is well in my little world. I really appreciate you standing behind your products and knowing what I need to solve the problem. When I first had my EBC brakes initially installed, I posted a thread on my club site www.ridgelineownersclub.com detailing the install. I made sure I posted an update after you solved my problem so quickly and generously. It’s important that we support those companies that support their customers. My son has also ordered the brakes for his Acura TL and is just waiting for them to arrive. As soon as they do, I will help him install them. I’m sure he will be just as satisfied with his EBC brakes as I am. Thanks again.
