Product Description

EBC's DP42438R Yellowstuff rear brake pads are specially designed for modern European hot hatches and coupes using ATE rear calipers. Ideal applications include the Audi A3/S3 (8Y), Cupra Formentor/VZ, Skoda Octavia IV RS, and VW Golf Mk8 GTI/R. These pads use a 4000 Series high-friction aramid compound with ceramic granules to deliver strong cold bite and stable braking up to track-level heat cycles - yet retain OEM-friendly rotor durability and 100% copper-free, eco-compliant materials.

Fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered, with a Brake-In™ surface coating for rapid bedding, DP42438R pads reduce noise and brake dust while improving modulation. R90/ECE certification ensures legality across markets. If you're equipping a performance street or light track VW/Audi/Skoda with ATE caliper rear brakes (340 mm diameter), the DP42438R is a top-tier upgrade that stops faster, feels stronger, and stays street-legal.
