About this deal

Don't forget that most of the other pad options from the other manufacturers are in the same position regarding their road legal status (i.e. ALL Pagid RS, Ferodo DS, Carbon Lorraine, etc.). You can't have your cake and eat it, brakes have an operating window, some have quite a large operating window but there is always a compromise. Standard road pads operate very well at low temp and are good uptown moderate high temps, but as they aren't designed for high temps going barreling from one braking event to the next before they have cooled can end in disintegration. They are also often made of a material much softer than the discs and therefore tend to not damage the discs as much Lohen offers in-house fitting for all products at our workshop in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, ST21 6JL. Here are the important things you need to know: Coasting after the bed in to allow discs to cool as you should not park the vehicle with HOT brakes. So be sure you have a road where it is safe enough to do this procedure with no imminent bends or stops in front of you so you can roll for a while and allow discs to cool, but if you need the brakes USE THEM Fast Road/Sports pads are still suitable for road use and though not as good initially at really low temps but can operate at much higher temp ranges without drop off (assuming the brake fluid doesn't boil), they are often made of more aggressive materials and have more chance of wearing down the discs in the process

Stretched limos is another superb application for this material. EBC Brakes is now supplying this compound for stretched F250s, stretched Excursions, stretched Hummers which are subject to a PSV (public service vehicle) test. Vehicles which failed the PSV test with standard brakes passed the test quoting a 20% brake improvement when using this material.

Performance Brake Pads

For folks who are curious about the Lancer 2.4L GTS turbo add-on: No, in the end, I did not go through with it. The new EBC Yellowstuff compound is essentially a race pad but with a BIG difference in that it works from cold and can be safely used on the highway. If you want the Ultimate in High Friction Braking this is the pad to choose. Brakes feel superb from first touch of the pedal and stay effective up to race temperatures. The reason I made this change: I was preparing my car for a turbo. Figured I'd improve braking before I mess with horsepower. Allow pads to cool for 15 minutes minimum after coasting to the pits allowing brakes to cool a little. I think the 2-piston basically spreads the same hydraulic force over a greater area on the brake pad. Meaning on a "per sq inch" basis, the 2-piston version is doing less work. So it has more room before reaching its limits. Benefit = being able to more precisely control & hold the right amount of brake force, when braking hard.

EBC Brake Shop is not responsible for any additional costs as a result of extended delivery times, unless prior consent is given in writing by a member of EBC Brake Shop staff. What I suspect: If I didn't drive the 1-piston caliper setup to its limits, I wouldn't feel the "extra operation boundary" the 2-piston is giving me. Using advanced R&D and manufacturing technologies, EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads work just as well cold as hot; this means you don’t need to warm up the brakes before you feel the full performance of these pads. They also produce low dust and noise than most race compound pads, helping to keep your alloys cleaner, deliver more performance and at the same time less squealing at low speed. Your pads should feel entirely different to before the process, they should feel sharp and much more responsive. This process is called eliminating “Green fade” by burning off those surface volatiles. Once seated any brake pad made by EBC or anyone else, performs better once the pad goes through heat curing or what we call “Green Fade” which happens during its first severe use.Vs. the OEM pad, the bite and brake power on Red Stuff is noticeably firmer. Stopping power noticeably improved vs OEM.

The latest Bluestuff DM3362 and Low Mu versions should only take Fade 2 and a 15 minute cooling time to be ready to race. You CAN use the “ Real-world experienced driver – faster street bedding routine”- described above if you are bedding the pads in on the street Mr Blinky I like these brakes, a lot. I didn't want to review them until I had done 1000 miles on them, and now I have. These are a really nice replacement for OEM. Fitting was a breeze. they really did fit like a glove. Really easy to get on and a nice snug fit (all 4 corners - discs and pads). I didn't have any measurement device to quantify it. By feel, it felt like roughly 20~30% better stopping G-force.

From what I can see from your pic the pads and discs looked to have gone off with excess heat, what happens then is they glaze, the glaze is really hard to clear, and that will be why even now on the road they are poor. I have had the same in the past. Find this complicated? – we tend to agree but all organic pads no matter which brand do need some bedding in to avoid loss of brake and a lot depends on rotor condition, the slightest hollow of the rotor surface will extend the bed in times a lot. So being accurate is important. We advise using disc heat paint to ensure green fade is avoided, continue reading below for more details
