I know people have had problems with them in the past but apparently they have got better lately. Had anyone got any experience with them in the last 12 months?
I can get 50% discount on EBC items and need some new pads so was going to give them a go.
It will be for EVO Brembos on the RS Turbo as a fast road and track pad so I'm thinking Yellow Stuff would be best?

Ive got red stuffs in the ap's on my fiesta and find them really good. For the price I can't complain

I used them in my old track Cossie, good pads, no fade and took all my abuse I threw at them!!

I use yellow and rate them really well too, on the road.

That's a change from previous EBC posts, theyve been slated in the past!? Lol I've used reds for years, on both std and AP calipers on my saff, seem really good, although, slightly harder wearing on the discs if anything?
Good price too, although used to get them cheap, as they sponsored my mates car!

Not had them in the last 12 months but have had them in previous cars, had a mk1 focus rs and a 3 door cos and thought they were turd in both. Quick to fade, poor bite and feel imo. Also had red stuff in a frst which were also crap

It's Czech Mate

Had green stuff on a mondeo estate a while back, were a great improvement over stock, little dust and little fade

Red and yellow seem to get great reviews, green might as well be slabs of cheese for the good they are

I use yellow for 3 years now on my Cossie and i rate them very high, much better then the Ferordo i had on before

That was the other option, Ferodo DS2500's. Think at half price I'll give the yellow stuff a crack and see what happens.

biggest problem I see with pads is making sure you buy the right ones for what type of use you will give them as most performance pads operate better at ideal running temps, as running competition pads in a shopping trolley is just wrong the same as running OE in a track car

Use them in my M5 front and rear, settled on those after the usual candidates of Ferodo, Mintex, OEM etc and never turned back. The only ones not to fade and fall to bits pretty quickly on the Nurburgring for me. The M5's a very heavy car though and suits hot running pads... ive had customers cars with them in and they werent suited, too cold in normal use.

If theyre good enough for you, they're certainly good enough for me!

Got them on the sapph and not too bad,,as said don't go kicking its head in from the word go they need warming up widow makers from cold

oh and they dust like a mofo only downfall!

GVK.

Some prople get in with Ferodo DS2500 others find they leave pad deposits and cause judder.

EBC yellows are good for the price you can get them for with the 'racers' discount from Bob.

The Underdog

My brother had yellows for his civic type r track car. In one track day of Llandow they were down to almost nothing. His discs were grooved so may have accelerated wear but stopping power was no different to a standard pad in his opinion.

tomti

im looking at these for my 328 e36 too but its only going to be a fast road/occasional track day so not sure wether the red stuff would be better suited for me. the thing that is making me lean more towards the red stuff is theres meant to be less dust from reds?

For normal driving I find Yellows much too hard - especially when cold. Took them off my last car after a fortnight. Currently running Greens, and very happy with them.

JOHNDQ

there good on road but they don't work that great when cold tho, ive also used the on track in a RS2K and MG ZR and both time after a few laps they over heating and more less stopped slowing the cars. Came back on after cooling but same happens again i would say more less useless for track

SiZT

Used Yellows for while, they're fine for stopping but the pedal feel is shit. Only had one instance where the pads overheated which was on a long session on the Nurburgring GP track at the first corner. They're a good cheap option for novices but I won't be using them again, either Pagid or Carbotech in the future

I have their disks and yellow pads front and rear on the esc cos.
Work really well if the car is heavy enough like mine in factory trim.

Id be careful using them in the massive calipers you have on such a light car. Id be tempted to go down a stage.
