I've had these pads about a year now. I've had the best performance from these pads over any other pads I've ever used on any of my Rods! I've owned a 86' Camaro, 91' Z28, 86' 200SX, 80' Ford Mustang. I'm currently in a 1998 Trans Am and I race everywhere. I drive 80 miles freeway everyday in Houston traffic, miles on city streets, and 1/4's on tracks. I'm normally through a set of pads in 6 months, these pads are still good! I'm about to get another set simply to have a set when I need them (maybe months from now). They aren't quite in the first couple of months (could have been the rotors) and now they are super quite and doing great. Just F.Y.I!

Thanks for the brakes for the MTV series. They took some serious hammering around the track but performed faultlessly as I expected. Because of the prominence of the yellow pads against the black discs (and freshly painted calipers), the fact the brakes are EBC really stands out!

You make the best brake components hands down. Gets my 7800lbs truck shut down from 130mph on the drag strip, awesome.

Performance rallying places a unique demand on brakes. We require the best performance possible over a very wide temperature range. We run when it's -20C, and when it's +30C. We also need this entire package to fit under small 15 wheels! Using a stock OEM Subaru brake set-up with nothing more but the upgraded EBC Yellowstuff pads, performance has been nothing short of spectacular. I have been able to complete 4 full performance rallies with the EBC pads in conditions ranging from ice and snow, to gravel, to a tarmac rally on a race track. Even after almost 50km of hard stage driving the Yellowstuff's do not give up, and keep performing. A single set of EBC Yellowstuff's has propelled me through 4 events, and into the lead of the rally championship! The performance and durability has been absolutely fantastic!

In preparation for my first track day with my IS300, I read a few forums concerning brake pads. A person doing a casual track day could get away with factory pads and rotors, so I bought new pads and did the track day. My pads were over half gone and a had a high-speed braking vibration by the end of the day - but I had fun, so I would be attending another one. This time I found out who the players were in the world of track pads and went with EBC after reading the reviews from people with large tracks and people who did track days - easily the hardest people to satisfy.

Overwhelmed with positive responses, I ordered my pads (yellow) and they arrived a few days before the track day. I bedded the brakes exactly as specified then drove to the track day. The first few laps I just did some normal braking to make sure nothing would surprise me when I really got on them. The first time I really got into the brakes, the car almost threw me through the windshield - It was UNREAL how well these pads worked. I braked deeper and harder and the pads only got better. There was NO SQUEAL and the dust was minimal and came right off the wheels. My lap times dropped considerably and my braking was consistent the whole day. I have not removed the brakes yet - I love them too much!

There is a very slight squeal now, but only on initial contact. The braking feel and initial bite are astounding. I highly recommend these brakes to anyone doing a track day or aggressive street and mountain driving. The only thing I don't like is having yellow pads on my car, but the exposure is minimal (tips of the backing). Thanks EBC!
