Anyone had any experience with these? I've just ordered a set. They seem to be about half the cost of the pagid's.
EBC Yellowstuff brake pads
- Thread starter Laurence Gibbs
- Start date
The Yellowstuff are billed as an "endurance" compound. So I am hoping they will last a bit longer than the oem which i tend to be replacing far too frequently, equally i hope the endurance does'nt come at the expense of the discs! It's interesting to hear all the polar opinions. Guess i will have to see for myself. If they last considerably longer than oem then i will be happy. If they last longer and improve my stopping power then a result. If they are not as good as Pagids then i will console myself in the fact that they are almost half the cost .
But if the pads muller the discs in record time and you need to replace both then it may not work out as a bargain...Personally I would not fit coloured stuff brakes, if the were given to me, after reports from non pork mates track day antics.
I am suprised pagid RS19/29 yellas are so expensive in your size?......I know they are incredibly disc friendy for an endurance pad which may be where your overall cost saving may come?...good luck!

Paul comparing other car makes never works when deciding on what pad to go for. As you know even different models of 911 prefer different things. Pads and discs that work well on a GT3 for instance, may not be at best or be overkill on a 64' . Seems Matt has the redstuff on his car and is happy. So far no one else (except Matt ) has offered direct experience of the pads on a 64. And nobody has offered personal experience of the Yellowstuff pad. So i'll wait and gather my own experience of them and see what happens.
Sorry Melv[8D] Paul, I dropped the car off on Monday cage is being fitted this week and "should" be ready this Friday. I will post some pics when i've got some.
Can't easily comment on the discs as they are getting on a bit anyway. Just checked back through my history file and found i changed the fronts in late september 03 ! rears not changed as far as i can remember ! so me thinks disc change might be good idea.

Almost certainly don't need to say this to you Laurence, so for the possible benefit of the less mechanically minded.
The pads will have taken on the shape of the existing discs, so if at all grooved (and they probably are) just be carefull initially after the change as the pads will only be touching the discs on their high points.
Not sure with harder pads how quickly they square back up, there may be some mileage in your belief Melv. Have to admit it was abit of a shock when i saw the date on the reciept they really don't look that bad considering and of course the rears don't have as much to do. I am going to have a better, more technical look at them (check actual thickness etc) and will probably run the pads out before i change but it will depend on what i find. Last four years for me probably equates to about 10k road miles at a guess and about 12 to fifteen track days again at a guess.

Would tend to agree as a general rule, but I'm braking that at the moment. Had to change pads at Spa & did not have discs with me. Had to change discs after the 2nd day at Spa & the run home. Being a QS, there is no way I am chucking an almost brand new set of pads away[
] I've now done about 700 miles of fairly gentle road use (the trip to Le Mans) & the (very hard PF97) pads are almost gripping the discs accross their entire width now.
Can't comment as have never tried the Pagid Yellows. There are a few websites that quote the tech spec's of the different pads that may help give you some feel for the differences. They are imho an improvement on the standard pad for ultimate stopping ability but have less feel. That's about the sum of my findings. Sorry can't be of further assistance.
