EBC DP41160R Yellowstuff Street & Track Rear Brake Pads Cadillac XLR Corvette

Vehicle Fitment

• 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR (Base, 4.6L V8) - Rear Axle
• 2008-2009 Cadillac XLR Platinum (4.6L V8) - Rear Axle
• 2001-2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (5.7L LS6 V8) - Rear Axle

Fitment Notes

• Rear axle brake pads only - this set covers the rear caliper positions; see EBC DP41162R for the corresponding front axle Yellowstuff pads for the same applications
• EBC strongly recommends fitting the same grade upgrade pad at both front and rear simultaneously for balanced brake bias - do not install performance upgrade pads at the rear without a matching upgrade at the front
• Bed-in procedure required after installation - EBC's factory-applied Brake-in coating assists with initial seating, but a proper bed-in sequence of progressively harder stops should still be completed before aggressive use
• These are not low-dust pads - Yellowstuff pads generate more brake dust than EBC's Redstuff or Greenstuff compounds; if minimal dust is a priority, consider EBC Redstuff (DP31160C) for this application
• Do not use brake cleaner or any solvent to remove the factory Thermic Black coating from EBC rotors if installed - the coating is removed naturally in the pad swept area within the first 10-20 stops

Features

• Yellowstuff 4000 Series compound - EBC's flagship high-friction street and track brake compound, formulated from an aramid fiber base; provides a high friction coefficient from cold, making it safe and effective for street driving immediately without requiring a warm-up period - an uncommon characteristic for a performance pad of this capability level
• Street and track dual-use capability - Yellowstuff delivers strong initial bite and confident braking on daily street use, while also offering the heat resistance and fade resistance required for light track use, autocross, HPDE events, and spirited mountain driving; the friction coefficient increases further as the pad heats up under hard use
• Fade resistance under sustained heavy braking - the aramid fiber compound resists thermal breakdown at elevated temperatures, maintaining consistent stopping power through repeated hard stops without the fade experienced with OEM-grade compounds
• Factory Brake-in coating - EBC's patented surface coating is applied to each pad at the factory to accelerate initial seating and reduce the extended bed-in period common with performance pads, allowing the pads to reach full performance capability more quickly after installation
• Rotor-friendly formulation - Yellowstuff uses a synthetic fiber-based compound that is minimally abrasive on brake rotors, extending rotor life compared to metallic or semi-metallic performance compounds under equivalent use conditions
• Quiet and smooth operation - EBC's compound and manufacturing tolerances deliver quiet braking under all conditions; once fully bedded, Yellowstuff pads produce no abnormal noise in typical street and light track use
• High-temperature capability - the compound maintains effectiveness across a wide temperature range, from cold ambient starts through the elevated temperatures generated by repeated hard braking on track or in aggressive street use

Product Description

The EBC DP41160R is a set of Yellowstuff 4000 Series rear brake pads for the Cadillac XLR (2004-2009, 4.6L V8) and Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (2001-2004, 5.7L LS6 V8). EBC's Yellowstuff is the brand's flagship high-friction compound for fast street and light track use - an aramid fiber-based formulation that delivers strong initial bite from cold and increases in friction coefficient as it heats up, making it one of the few performance pad compounds that can be used effectively in both daily street driving and on-track sessions without requiring a dedicated warm-up sequence.

The Yellowstuff compound is capable of sustained heavy braking without fade, making it well-suited to the repeated hard stops of track day driving, HPDE events, autocross, and aggressive canyon or mountain road use. It is also the brake pad choice for numerous race series run on stock caliper systems, including the Swedish Camaro Cup and various UK club racing categories. Despite its high performance level, Yellowstuff uses a synthetic fiber compound that is minimally abrasive on brake rotors, extending rotor life under equivalent use compared to metallic or semi-metallic compounds. EBC's factory-applied Brake-in coating on each pad surface assists with initial seating after installation.

These pads cover the rear axle only - EBC DP41162R is the corresponding front set for the same applications. EBC recommends fitting a matched upgrade grade at both axles simultaneously to maintain balanced brake bias. Yellowstuff pads are not a low-dust compound; drivers who prioritize minimal wheel dust should consider EBC Redstuff (DP31160C) for this application.
