Product Description

The EBC DP42290R Yellowstuff brake pads represent EBC's flagship high-performance street compound, engineered to deliver substantial braking improvements for Audi B9 platform vehicles. Featuring an advanced aramid fiber-based friction material, these pads provide approximately 30% greater stopping power compared to factory-equipped pads while maintaining excellent cold bite that requires no warm-up period for safe street driving. The stable 0.48µ friction coefficient remains consistent up to track temperatures of 450°C, making Yellowstuff equally capable during spirited canyon drives or occasional track day sessions.

Updated in 2021 with a copper-free formula to meet environmental regulations, EBC Yellowstuff pads arrive with proprietary Brake-In surface coating that accelerates the bedding process for quicker optimal performance. Nucap NRS mechanical retention hooks ensure secure friction material bonding for maximum durability and safety. Each pad is fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted at the factory for noise-free operation and proper heat dissipation. ECE R90 type approved for street legal use worldwide, Yellowstuff pads are backed by EBC's 12-month/10,000-mile warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
