Product Description

The EBC Yellowstuff DP42299R is a high-performance rear brake pad purpose-built for larger Audi SUVs, sedans, and wagons on the MLB Evo platform - including the Q7 (4M), Q8, A6 C8, A7 C8, A8 D5, and Audi e-tron electric models, as well as select VW Passat B8 variants. Built on EBC's proven aramid fiber compound, these pads deliver immediate, confident braking from cold - a critical advantage on heavier luxury vehicles where OEM-grade stopping distances often fall short. The compound maintains its friction coefficient all the way to 450°C, ensuring consistent pedal feel whether you're navigating city traffic or braking hard on a mountain road.

Installation is direct-fit with no modifications required. Each pad arrives pre-coated with EBC's red Brake-In surface layer to help the compound seat quickly after fitment, minimizing the initial bedding-in period. The 2021-updated copper-free formulation not only meets current environmental standards but also offers improved longevity over previous blends. For a fully balanced brake upgrade, pair the DP42299R with the matching EBC Yellowstuff front pads for your specific platform.
