After just four stops when other pads started to fade and fall off the EBC Yellowstuff shines through with the shortest stopping distances.

This independent test was carried out by the prestige US magazine Car and Driver in Mid 2011 comparing stock Mazda parts and Hawk brake pads.

EBC Yellowstuff pads are a high friction Kevlar® based organic pad that has superb performance characteristics under heat and load such as performance street driving or track use. In 2010 all but a handful of drivers on the starting grid used EBC Yellowstuff for their race driving, including Rob Boston, the series winner.

In 2011 there are two race series in the UK for Mk1 MX5 and Mk3 models and again the majority of drivers are using EBC Yellowstuff pads.

At the Snetterton race track in the UK during the weekend of July 23rd/24th 2011, both Rob Boston’s Mazda MX5 (Miata) Mk1 claimed race wins using EBC Yellowstuff pads. Rob Boston also claimed a race win in his Mk3 MX5 recently at Snetterton.

EBC Yellowstuff has proved its pedigree on the race track but is also an excellent fast street material and in Europe is ECE R90 approved for many cars, making it a race material that is suitable for street use. As a softer race pad, lifetime may be more limited on larger and heavier cars for which EBC offers its Bluestuff NDX range (also R90 approved) or its soon to be launched EBC Orangestuff full track pad series.

EBC Brakes also produce a huge range of British made, cast and machined brake rotors for performance driving and are due to launch their new HIGH CARBON range in September 2011 together with their new range of “Blade” brake rotors for sport use.
