Product Description

The EBC DP42173R Yellowstuff Rear Brake Pads are a high-performance, street-legal upgrade engineered for rear braking systems on select Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda sport-compact vehicles. These pads feature EBC's advanced Yellowstuff aramid fiber compound that delivers strong braking power right from cold and maintains stable friction under elevated temperatures - ideal for drivers seeking improved stopping response and confidence over stock rear pads during everyday driving and spirited use. The Brake-In™ surface coating assists in faster pad seating to the rotor after installation, helping deliver consistent performance with reduced bedding-in time.

Optimized for performance use, these Yellowstuff rear pads incorporate shims and chamfered edges to reduce noise and vibration, while the high-friction material enhances modulation and reduces fade under repeated heavy braking. ECE R-90 certification ensures this compound is approved for street use, making DP42173R suitable for fast street drivers who want more capability from their braking system without compromising daily usability. Sold as a complete rear axle set, these pads are perfect for higher-output turbocharged sport compacts like the Audi S3/TT, VW Golf GTI/R, Seat Leon Cupra, and large-platform models such as Tiguan, Touran, Passat, and Skoda Kodiaq.

Fitment confirmed through 2023. 2025 coverage unconfirmed at time of listing. These DPI42173R pads fit the rear brake systems of compatible vehicles where the pad size and FMSI designation align with the original equipment specifications.
