Product Description

The EBC DP41483R Yellowstuff front brake pads are engineered for the Volkswagen Group B5 platform - covering the Audi A4 B6/B7, Audi A6 C5, Volkswagen Passat B5, Skoda Superb Mk1, and Seat Exeo. All of these vehicles share the same OEM front disc brake caliper pad shape. Built from EBC's copper-free aramid fiber compound with ceramic granules, these pads deliver a friction coefficient of 0.60 with strong cold bite from first application and no warm-up required. Braking force builds progressively under load, giving drivers intuitive, confident stopping whether in everyday traffic or spirited driving.

Offering approximately 30% more stopping power than OEM pads, the DP41483R is an ideal front pad upgrade for owners of these popular VAG executive and mid-size cars. Thermic Black backing plate coating resists corrosion and clears naturally within the first 10-20 stops. Built on NUCAP NRS backing plates for secure pad retention. ECE R90 approved and copper-free, these pads meet all current European road and environmental standards. Full bed-in typically takes 300-500 miles of normal street driving.
