Even as EBC's world number 1 selling pad grade, the EBC Yellowstuff 3068 compound is new for 2021 and is designed where great stopping power is your goal on fast street use on modern sedans and hot hatches. 100% R90 approved.
A high friction pad that works from cold and self seats after installation due to its applied brake-in surface coating. Although the new Yellow grade WILL work fine under shorter duration track, trackday (lapping) use on lighter cars or drifting, it does take longer to bed in, and if track driving is your main purpose, choose Bluestuff or the new RP1 and RPX ranges, or allow extra time for bedding your brakes in.
EBC Yellowstuff are ECE Brake safety tested, which means they must work perfectly from cold at be at least as good or better than stock pads. When Yellowstuff see some heat (which is not tested for in the ECE R90 brake safety regulations) they really show their pedigree. On Japanese cars built with lower friction FF-rated pads these deliver a full grade higher stopping and on German cars built with GG these are about the only aftermarket pads that will match or beat the pretty good German OE spec pads and that takes some doing.
High-efficiency performance pad for high friction and improved stopping power. Not only a high friction pad but very resistant to heat and lots of heavy braking means that Yellowstuff has been used with great success in fast street cars and Police vehicle brakes alike.
EBC Yellowstuff was upgraded during 2021 to remove copper from the mix to comply with environmental legislations and as the new mix lasts longer it is not now being suggested as a track material due to the longer bedding in process required. On the street, bedding happens naturally in the first 100-200 miles of urban use but for those drivers wishing to arrive at the track with new pads and enjoy their day, our current suggestion is to use the Bluestuff formulation for track day driving both front and rear.
Because of its huge heat range, the applications where EBC Yellowstuff will deliver benefits range from fastest street use on higher horsepower cars on most street-based cars and even as a brake upgrade on Trucks and SUV. Yellowstuff is especially appreciated on Trucks for towing and heavy loads and where wheel and tire oversize upgrades have been fitted. In trackday/drift/hillclimb races where earlier Yellow blends were suggested, although track capable, is no longer recommended for track use on most cars due to its long bed-in process. BlueStuff is now EBC's recommended entry-level race pad for all cars, which as a track hybrid is still great on the street and even better on track.
When considering full-race use on lighter cars, Yellowstuff has been a strong favorite. It is also the choice of 90% of the Mazda MX5 Miata competitors in the UK race series, used in drifting and on kit cars. EBC Yellowstuff pads are also used on the UK Silverstone Race Track Drivers experience cars because of their high performance and longevity. Yellowstuff also claimed a win in the Targa rally and for two years running in the Brazil Mitsubishi off Road Team Desert Challenge.
The majority of UK Police forces use and love EBC Yellowstuff brake pads. EBC has extended fleet miles and reduced their fleet operating costs by allowing Police Chase cars to drive harder and longer in blue light events. These Police forces have been using EBC Yellowstuff for almost three years now and not one force has had an issue that has caused them to stop buying, they just want more of this fantastic brake product!

How to Bed-in EBC Yellowstuff™ Brake Pads
EBC brake pads are now mostly self bedding, but for extreme street use please read below.
The Ultimax2, Greenstuff, Redstuff, and Yellowstuff compound grades come with a brake-in coating that scrubs the rotor surface, accelerates pad seating times, and provides a strong brake effect for the first 100 miles of use as the brake pads seat themselves. After the first 100 miles or so, unless you are going to drive aggressively, there is nothing more to do meaning – most drivers happily use and enjoy their brake’s excellent performance for tens of thousands of miles after this point. If that’s your way of driving, nothing more needs to be explained. Just enjoy your brakes.
Fast street driving
If you drive aggressively or in a “Spirited” fashion on roads where it is safe to do so, after seating the pads to your rotors and certainly not before 300 miles of use , you should be prepared for the brake pad to emit an odour or even exhibit some smoke as the pads burn off what EBC call “surface volatiles”.
Many faster drivers experience this in harder braking and criticize the brake pad whereas in fact, this is only part of the final high-end bedding-in process as the pads see rotors temps of 400-500C for the first time (not normal in everyday driving).
Once seated, any organic brake pad made by EBC performs better once the pad goes through heat curing or what EBC call “Green Fade” which happens during its first severe use. The green fade point is 400C/650F. There are two ways to know if you have passed the green fade point – one is via the use of heat paints, the second way is to guess. So heat paints are the better option.
You should drive with caution until bedded flat and you have passed this green fade point at least twice and then allowed the brake pads to cool so the disc is below 100C.
Fast Street use Pre-bed
FADE 1 – drive 50 to 100 miles on Public road/highway normal driving to allow the pads to mate up to the disc and establish full contact followed by 8 stops from 80 mph to 30 mph at 300-yard intervals and then coasting allowing the brakes to cool.
Wanting to use Yellowstuff on the track?
EBC Yellowstuff are no longer optimum for track use. Bed in times are simply too long to be acceptable. Having said that if you LIKE Yellowstuff and want to use them at the track be prepared for the longer bed-in times detailed below.
Yellowstuff, although track-capable, is no longer recommended for track use on most cars due to its long bed-in the process. Bluestuff is now EBC's recommended entry-level race pad for all vehicles, which as a track hybrid is still great on the street and even better on track. But if you are to use Yellowstuff on the track, follow the below Fade procedures;
FADE 2 – After the basic street pre-bed above is performed on the road or at the track if installed there …..Perform 10 medium pressure snubs at the track from 80-20mph leaving 300 meters between each snub (approx 0.4g decel). Allow pads to cool for 15 minutes minimum after coasting to the pits allowing brakes to cool a little.
FADE 3 – Perform 6 high-pressure snubs from 90-20mph with a maximum acceleration between consecutive snubs. (approx 0.8g decel, or 80% of an emergency stop). Allow the brakes to fully cool for a minimum of 1 hour before the race session. EBC advise using disc heat paint to ensure green fade is avoided.
