Default EBC Yellow Stuff!

My OEM pads in front were pretty worn and I got tired of looking at the "Low Pad" warning all the time so instead of just putting stock pads back on I upgraded to EBC Yellow's.

I was warned (slip in the box) about low pad performance until I got the pad protection layer worn off and the pads were bedded, but I can tell you just the protective coating on EBC's pads are better than the fully functioning OEM pads by a MILE! Ice cold to HOT these pads perform.

I had a 2004 CTS-V I used to track and upgraded to HPS+ pads in, what I guess would be considered a better caliper system from Brembo. These pads on my stock Audi rotors with stock calipers absolutely ROCK in comparison!!

My first track event is May 22nd at Autobahn North so I'll see what they do for me. I am confident I will be braking much later than ever before already.

Dusting is actually just a little more than stock too. I am surprised by this in my around town driving. I'll also see what happens at the track. I am guessing my nice silver wheels will be black after one run!
