We will only sell the products we are prepared to use ourselves. That way we know we’re selling a high-quality item. We started with EBC Brakes
And this is the case with his own racing mini, using EBC Brakes Yellowstuff brake pads.
The Yellowstuff grade seems to be the best solution and Yellowstuff pads can be used for both street and track driving. When considering full race use, Yellowstuff brake pads has been a strong favourite, the choice of 90% of the Mazda MX5 Miata competitors in the UK race series and has an unblemished record as rotor friendly track pad for vehicles up to 2000 lbs weight or 200 BHP. Yellowstuff brake pads do not require warm up but do get even stronger under the heat of driving.
EBC Brakes also make in UK a huge range of quality brake discs to use with your Yellowstuff and some details are below:
EBC Brakes produces 5 types of brake disc/ brake rotor:
-3GD Sport Discs/Rotors: On EBC Brakes 3GD Sport Discs/Rotors the unique wide aperture slots in the EBC sport rotor actually draw cool air under the pad during heavy braking and reduce brake temperatures whilst also helping remove dirt, dust and debris and gasses created by heavy braking from the pad contact area. They also improve braking in off road conditions of wet, mud or sand.
-USR Slotted Discs/Rotors: On EBC Brakes USR Slotted Discs/Rotors the narrower multi slot design of the Ultimax sport rotor and the progressive angle at which the slots are machined creates a quiet running sport rotor that still has benefits of removing gas, dirt, water and debris and maintaining parallel pad wear.
-Premium OE Discs/Rotors: EBC Brakes Premium Discs/Rotors are cast to a material strength of 150 N/m2 with a tightly controlled surface hardness variation less than 20 HB and are precision CNC machined to a surface tolerance of less than 0.05 mm.
-High Carbon Blade Discs/Rotors:
- High carbon thermally stable, British cast and machined cast iron reduces vibration and therefore noise.
- New Vee slot design, expels dirt dust and water the fastest route from the Braking “Hot Spot” dead centre of the braking zone.
- Silent slot pattern, multiple narrow 3.0 mm slots guarantees reduced wind noise plus pads run cooler. Nominal 1.00 mm grove depth, acts as a wear indicator, when the groove is gone its time to change. Dynamically balanced, all discs are machined or weighted and balanced to reduce vibration
-High Carbon Discs/Rotors: EBC Brakes High Carbon Discs/Rotors material which has higher carbon and silicon content has a more granular grain structure and is far better at resisting heat distortion, thermal judder and cracking under heavy use.

VW Jetta TDi brake upgrade by EBC Brakes works great according to Diesel World Magazine,read full article here
EBC Brakes genuine parts buy here on EBC home page with full info on where to buy EBC parts at best prices with reliable service plus Blogs about the adventures of the EBC user group worldwide such as this new Blog just posted today.The VW Jetta TDi was to have its brakes upgraded with NHT Calipers and EBC Brakes.
While at the TDIFest in Lexington, Kentucky, we met Kyle Levesque, of performance Diesel Engineering. he showed us the mounting kit he developed to install Porshe Boxter four-piston brake calipers and larger-diameter VW Golf GTI/Jetta GLI brake rotors on MK5 and MK6 VW TDIs like our ’06 Jetta TDI.
After ordering the calipers we contacted EBC Brakes and ordered a set of front and rear 3GD drilled and slotted rotors for an ’06 VW Golf/Jetta GLI to work with the NHT calipers. The blind-drilled dimples in the EBC rotors eliminate the chance of cracking that can occur with through-drilled rotors, and the wide aperture slots aid in cooling, as well as helping to remove dirt, dust, debris and gasses developed under heavy braking. We choose to use the EBC Brakes Redstuff brake pads, front and rear, to get the most out of our brake upgrade without going too crazy with track-only brake pads.

Yellowstuff Race and Rally brakes by EBC win races and work great

Chris Greenhouse and co driver Brian Johnson collected a very impressive pair of Group 2 victories at Rally in the 100 Acre Wood last month, Chris and Brian used EBC Brakes Yellowstuff brake pads on their Plymouth Neon.
Yellowstuff brake pads by EBC Brakes are a perfect choice for rally driving, strong powerful high friction brake pad that is easily controlled and lasts. Yellowstuff brake pads can be used for street, drift, rally and track driving. These brake pads do not require warm up but do get even stronger under the heat of driving.
The duo fought through a few minor electrical problems on day 1 but still took the class win and on day 2 had a mostly clean run, finishing with another convincing class win and even managed to put their Plymouth Neon in 3rd place overall amongst the Regional competitors! Chris now holds a commanding lead in the Central Region Group 2 points with a 97 point advantage over his nearest rivals.
“This was as fast and as smooth as I can ever remember here at 100 Acre Wood. The stages were in absolutely pristine condition with the exception maybe of the dust that lingered during the evening and night stages. I was in a little less-than-perfect condition with a bit of a head cold this weekend, but I don’t think that impaired our performance too much. This was an excellent rally for us.”
The team was able to hold on to a 5th-place finish in the 2WD National event. “The other teams were able to capitalize on our electrical problem early on day 1 and we just weren’t able to get enough time back on day 2. A fuel injector wire had come loose and caused an intermittent power loss on stage 1 that turned into a more significant problem on stages 2 and 3. We were able to easily repair it at service, but the other teams who had a power advantage on us going into the event really made us pay dearly for electrical glitch on the first loop of stages.”
Look for the Weasel RallySport Team to step up to a turbo car at Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally in June. Chris, Brian and the Weasel RallySport Team would like to thank EBC Brakes for their continued support.

Enduro brakes by EBC Brakes work better
EBC Brakes genuine parts buy here on EBC home page with full info on where to buy EBC parts at best prices with reliable service plus Blogs about the adventures of the EBC user group worldwide such as this new Blog just posted today.
EBC Brakes sponsored JD Beach was using EBC Brakes Organic Enduro grade pads on his Kawasaki 450, for Steve Nace Winter indoor series.
The EBC Brakes Organic Enduro grade pads compound is used for larger and heavier Enduro machines. The material is carbon based with Kevlar fibres and as a softer pad is less aggressive to rotors and runs cooler than sintered metal.
EBC Brakes the world’s number one supplier of brakes pads, brake discs and brake rotors, only produce two types of brake pads:
- Organic pads, organic pads are made with man made fibres such as Kevlar or Twaron bonded together with a petrochemical resin.
- Sintered pads, sintered metal pads are copper alloy fused together under heat and pressure.
This race weekend we practiced on Friday night, and had one race Saturday, and the regular program Sunday. The practice went pretty well. Before practice Kerri and I headed up to James Hart’s shop to do a little work to the bikes and just finish getting stuff ready for the weekend. This was our last short track race before Daytona so we wanted to make sure everything was ready to go. Steve tried some different classes this weekend running different karts so the track was a lot different, also it was the first time all winter we had fresh dirt because they had a motocross race last weekend. After the practice James and I were pretty happy with the bike, it’s still a new bike for us and we keep learning new stuff about the 2012 Kawasaki 450.
Next was the TT main. The TT had a really cool layout every time we came off or on the short track we had a choice to either go over a little hump or go around it, it was fun to have something different. In the main I got the hole shot and lead every lap but got docked a position so I ended up second with Hayden taking the win. It was all TYLER PORTER’s FAULT (He will love that). Off the start I had pole but they had a cone and a disc on the inside of the track and starting on pole you had to turn to go around it. If you beat the guy next to you off the line it was no problem but on the TT, Jake Lewis wasn’t so lucky. He was second right next to me. We both got a great start and I wasn’t going to back off to go around the cone so I just hit it and it went flying. I guess Jake wasn’t ready for it because he went straight. Jeffery Lowery started on the second row and was third after that because the whole front row went straight with Jake.
It was a great weekend and got a lot of riding in. Tried a lot of different things with the bike and learned what changes work and what the changes do. This next week I’ll be going to Colorado to do some testing with the team on my R6 then back home for a day. Then I’ll be leaving for Florida for 2 and half weeks. I will try and update after the test before I leave town. Hope to see you all in Daytona.
Buy EBC Brakes in Spain from new facility EBC Frenos
EBC Brakes genuine parts buy here on EBC home page with full info on where to buy EBC parts at best prices with reliable service plus Blogs about the adventures of the EBC user group worldwide such as this new Blog just posted today.
Initially to have an EBC Brakes in Spain facility and start effective distribution of its automotive range into Spain the world leading brake supplier EBC Brakes has established EBC Frenos.
The new facility of 300 square metres has ability to expand to 500 Sq M is named EBC Frenos and will carry all EBC automotive parts on a fast replenishment basis to have a 100% service level to online and shop customers in Spain
Here are the words from Victoria Vacas Martin the Company owner of the EBC Frenos which will act as a franchise for sales of EBC Brakes in Spain.
Good morning there,
we are pleased to announce that we have successfully moved to our new facilities.
Tomorrow we are going to make a small opening party where we will invite our distribuitors and clients.It is a 300m2 warehouse but it could become into a 500m2 if needed in the future.
As you can observe in the pictures attached we have placed EBC Brakes name in the front of the building, as the intention of our company is to dedicate exclusively to the distribution of EBC Brakes products, we think that it is better not to have many different products and brands, but to give a good and specialized service.As all of you know the whole world economy is not in its best moment, and the word crisis is everywhere. We see everyday how important brands and distribuitors are closing, and how they are not able to execute payments, they stop serving, nobody is doing any stock… they have not adapted themselves to the new world and the online sales…
We have now our web online ready:
We have a map with the nationals distribuitors, that we hope to increase:
http://www.ebcfrenos.es/distribuidores.php
We have also the shop online:
http://www.ebcfrenos.es/index.php
This online shop has been created in a way that the client is able to see the recommended pads and the available ones in other compounds.
Although the web is ready it is not totally finished, because as you know it is a long, neverending task.All this would not have been possible without the confidence that Andy gave us and we would like to thank him because of it.
We want you to count on us as your partner in Spain and do not hesitate to ask anything you need, as we will do whatever we are able to.
Although we only have the distribution of automotive products and those are not the top/most sold EBC products we are going to work hard and see how far we can go, to put the name of EBC at the top, always trying not to make errors, and going forward firmly with determination.
We want to thank you very much all of you as without your help this would not have been possible.
Thank you again.
Best regards.
Victoria and Juan.

EBC Brakes expanding again in the UK
EBC genuine parts buy here on EBC home page with full info on where to buy EBC parts at best prices with reliable service plus Blogs about the adventures of the EBC user group worldwide such as this new Blog just posted today.EBC Brakes the manufacturers of the largest range of brakes in the world is expanding again.
As soon as the paint was dry on the new massive Pineham distribution Centre the Company has acquired a further 7 Acres of prime real estate immediately adjacent its current Pineham location to allow further expansion in the years ahead.
The actual content of the expansion program remains a secret at this time but will underpin the current activities of EBC Brakes as a world leader in the manufacture of disc brake pads and brake rotors/brake discs for cars and motorcycles.
EBC Brakes started business in 1978 and has grown to be one of the producers of cutting edge eco friendly brake pads in its UK Bristol manufacturing plant known as EFI.
Being the first Company to finally replace the sulphides used by all producers of brakes the Company has embarked on a world leading program for non toxic brake pads. The recent finalisation of its Railway ECOPAD program , also a world first, brings a pad made from 100% recyclable and naturally grown and sustainable friction materials.
Famous products from EBC Brakes include Greenstuff disc brake pads, Redstuff disc brake pads, Yellowstuffand Bluestuff Disc brake pads and a new range of Orangestuff full race discs pads.
The new expansion site at Pineham Northampton is being levelled at this moment in time to allow initial groundworks to commence in 2013 and exciting news about new paint,packaging and laser operations are topics in the mix for inclusion in the new site.
Meanwhile the new Pressed steel disc brake pad backing plate manufacturing centre at Pineham is up and running and will produce some 6 millions brake pad backplates in 2012 with capacity to expand to over 20 million disc brake pad backplates in future years.
The Company was recently accredited with a contract to use the NUCAP Canada NRS disc pad backplate retention system and is the first UK manufacturer to be approved for this revolutionary process.
NRS retention systems improve the bond strength of disc brake pads to the backing plates by over 300% compared to alternative methods
