Product Description

EBC DP42443R Yellowstuff rear brake pads are high-friction performance pads developed for selected Mercedes-Benz AMG and high-performance SUV applications. The D2239 pad configuration is used with the specified 370 mm rear brake system and covers Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, GLE53 AMG, GLS450, and GLS580 applications. Yellowstuff uses an aramid-fiber friction compound designed to provide strong braking response from cold and maintain performance as brake temperatures increase.

The compound is intended for demanding performance street use and repeated heavy braking. EBC's Brake-In coating helps accelerate initial bedding, while chamfered surfaces, thermal expansion provisions, noise-reduction features, and Nucap NRS retention hooks support consistent pad operation. The pad is sold as a complete rear-axle set for two wheels.

Fitment depends on the exact factory brake package. DP42443R is specifically associated with AMG Performance Brakes and red-caliper applications, so the vehicle's installed rear caliper and rotor specification should be confirmed before installation. The verified applications use AWD/4MATIC or 4MATIC+ drivetrains and 3.0L or 4.0L engines depending on model.
