JohnUKVetteNut Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi Folks Just put a full set all round of EBC Yellow Stuff pads on my JDM ( non brembo)...the nissan ones on there were possibly original? (car has about 36K miles on it). Have done the requisite bedding in and after 150 miles the brakes are MUCH stronger when cold and definitely ( so far) fade free for my style of driving..spirited but not track. great improvement. Downside it seems to be a lot more dust coming off but easy to clean off. Maybe the dust will subside with a few more miles?? Anyway well worth the investment over Nissan pads for me. Brought them back from a trip from USA where they were $152 which translates to just on £100 the set inc tax and shipping to where I was staying. All for now...PS my new Avon ZZ3 are very quiet and so far grippy as hell. but not yet got into wet "spirited dring" so cant yet say on that Cheers JohnUKVetteNut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manphibian Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 They're fantastic pads imo A good £30 cheaper than the Ferodo's They are quite hard on discs though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmck13 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Ive had yellow stuff on mine for nearly a year used on track and road the brake dust will not get better with use, it goes with this type of pad. If you want less dust "red stuff" is the pad to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Ive just changed pads to yellow stuff but the previous pads still seem to have alot of usage in them, the reason i changed them was because the car brakes didnt work at all when braking at 70. Not tried it yet as cant drive car atm, but is it fair to say its because the old brakes were cheap ones and they heat up too fast? Or could it be due to the brake fluid? Discs look fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 pads might have glazed, could be cheap pads, difficult to guess when i don't know what the old pads where or actually seeing and handling them. when was the last time the brake fluid was done? should be done every other year. inless you track it then should be done every other track day or after every track day if you drive like greekman braided brake lines may help with firming up the pedal feel.
