Product Description

The EBC DP42456R Rear Yellowstuff Brake Pads are premium performance rear pads engineered for select Audi sedans and SUVs, including A8 Quattro, S8, SQ7, SQ8, and certain e-tron Quattro models from 2020 through 2024. Featuring EBC's high-friction Yellowstuff compound, these pads deliver aggressive bite even from cold start and retain strong braking force under heavy use, making them ideal for drivers seeking enhanced stopping power over stock pads during spirited street driving or when hauling heavier loads. The aramid fiber construction provides heat resistance and consistent performance, while the Brake-In™ surface coating accelerates the pad bedding-in process after installation.

Designed to directly replace the OE rear pads on compatible Audi models, the DP42456R Yellowstuff set includes precision chamfers, slots, and shimmed backplates to minimize noise and vibration. With ECE R90 certification for road legality in many regions and a design that promotes smooth modulation and fade resistance, these pads are a solid upgrade for those wanting more confidence-inspiring braking performance without sacrificing daily drivability. Fitment is confirmed through 2024; 2025 coverage is unconfirmed at time of listing.
