Product Description

The EBC DP42436R Front Yellowstuff Brake Pads are a performance upgrade engineered specifically for Audi Q5 (FY) models equipped with 2.0-liter turbocharged engines and Brembo front brake systems. Featuring EBC's renowned Yellowstuff compound, these pads offer strong initial bite even when cold and maintain stable stopping force under repeated heavy braking. Their aramid fiber construction and Brake-In™ surface treatment help ensure fast, reliable bedding-in and excellent resistance to fade under spirited driving. R90 approval confirms the pads meet road-legal performance standards in many markets.

Designed to fit the front calipers on Audi Q5 FY models from 2017 through at least 2024 (2025 coverage is unconfirmed), the Yellowstuff pads include precision slots, chamfers, and fitment shims to reduce noise and improve pedal feel compared with standard pads. These characteristics make the DP42436R set a solid choice for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance on street and occasional high-demand use while retaining smooth, manageable feel for daily driving.
