Product Description

The EBC DP4143R Yellowstuff brake pads provide a high-performance upgrade for classic Volvo models. Designed with a high-friction aramid-fiber compound, these pads offer a very strong initial bite and consistent performance even under sustained braking. That makes them ideal for spirited street driving or lighter performance use in vintage Volvos.

Thanks to the Brake-In™ surface, these pads self-bed quickly, reducing the time needed before optimal performance is reached. Chamfered edges and a central slot help manage noise and prevent pad glazing, while the robust powder-coated backing plate resists corrosion. The copper-free formulation ensures compliance with modern environmental regulations without sacrificing braking power.

With their R-90 homologation, these pads remain road-legal and are a trusted choice for restoration or upgrade projects. Whether you're rebuilding a Volvo 240, restoring a 140-series, or improving the stopping power of a 164, the DP4143R Yellowstuff pads deliver enhanced braking without compromising the vintage character of your car.
