EBC YELLOW STUFF
Anybody used these on the road?
(original yellow not latest type R compound)
Got a brand new set for my AP 4 pots / 330mm disc in the garage and it's tempting to fit them...
Just wondered if anybody had done the same & what they are like.

I've been told by the guys at EBC that yellow stuff pads are for smaller cars. Scoobys and similar size cars should be using redstuff ceramic pads all round.

just got some Red Stuff.
On the box it says (paraphrased)
Greenstuff
for use on fast street or light duty race.
550 degrees
Red stuff
rackday or light rally, also suitable for heavier/faster street cars
750 degrees
Yellow stuff
full race compound for short circuit use
900 degrees
Blue stuff
endurance grade race material
900 degrees
Grahame Goode said the green is for smaller cars, red stuff for Impreza's then yellow and blue for more serious driving.
hope that helps.

EBC Technical recommend using Redstuff Ceramic on Impreza Turbo's / EVO's / M3's etc.
Yellowstuff are the next performance compound, which can be used on the cars mentioned above. Depending on the part number depends whether or not the pad is Reg90 approved. Cars built pre 1999, reg90 regulations do not apply.
If the car is 2000 onwards, pads must be Reg90 if used on the public highway.
Bluestuff is an endurance race pad.
Hope this helps.

Cheers, I know that they are for track use, I just wondered if anyone had tried them on the road?
Wondered what to expect regarding wear and braking (disc I'm mostly bothered about) and if there was much friction when not up to full temp?

I have ran green stuff, yellow stuff and going to run blue stuff soon. Currently, im on yellow stuff. The car is mainly autocross and track. The yellow stuff brake pads worked great! The pads' performance life is equivalent or even better than pads that cost more. I have not experienced any issues with braking. I was able to push the car to the max without hesitation...there was no brake fade, no loss of braking power. It took the punishment without question. The yellow stuff is a very streetable pad, the car is not a trailor queen, it is driven to the track.
I ran 18 events; placed in 14 out of the 18; and even won the Central Division Series (NW Indiana SCCA). Going to switch to blue soon and will keep u guys updated on those pads.

I've used to run Yellows daily on the blob, more than enough bite from cold in normal road use and coped fine with many laps of the ring and 2008's Brands Hatch Time Attack round
Re Redstuff; I honestly don't believe anyone at EBC has used these in an Impreza and I've given them my feedback in the past so should be well aware of their poor performance. Bin them.
