Product Description

The EBC DP42201R Yellowstuff rear brake pad set is a high-performance upgrade ideal for drivers with tuned Golf, GTI, Passat, or Q3 models. Constructed with an advanced aramid fibre compound, it delivers exceptional cold bite while improving progressively under heat - offering both reliable street performance and confidence on occasional track days.

Featuring center-line slotting and chamfered edges, these pads prevent thermal cracking, reduce noise, and ensure smooth braking. They're copper-free, powder-coated for corrosion resistance, and coated with Brake-In™ for fast bedding-in. With R90/ECE approval and fade resistance up to 900 °C, they're designed to outperform standard OE pads under high-stress conditions.

Installation is straightforward as they are direct OE replacements (FMSI D1779) with no modifications required. Perfect for enthusiast drivers seeking stronger stopping power without the hassle, these pads demand minimal break-in and deliver consistent performance in all driving environments.
