Product Information
Part #: DP41687R. The EBC Yellowstuff Street Brake Pads are a game - changer for your Subaru. With a high - friction formula, they boost the brake effect by 30 - 40%. These pads offer zero brake fade, making them ideal for high - speed driving. You can use them for repeated heavy braking without experiencing a 'Fall - Off' in performance. They cause very little damage to discs and rotors. Suitable for short track events and races, they're also great for street use. The medium - hardness material gives a great pedal feel. If you need top - notch stopping power, these are the pads for you. They're ECE R 90 type approved for most cars and come with a red 'brake in' surface coating for instant safe braking after installation. The EBC yellow 1793 compound is excellent all around. It has high friction even when cold, so no warm - up is needed for street driving. And as they heat up under heavy load, the brakes perform even better, gripping well even for truck - weight vehicles. They've passed ECE Brake safety tests, meaning they work at least as well as stock pads from cold. When they get hot (not tested in ECE R 90 regulations), they really shine. On Japanese cars with lower - friction FF rated pads, they offer a full - grade higher stopping power. On German cars with GG pads, they're one of the few aftermarket options that can match or beat the good German OE spec pads. These are high - efficiency performance and race brakes suitable for both track and street, quick to bed - in, and perfect for upgrading your street vehicle's brakes. Fitment includes 2003 - 2008 Forester 2.5 X, 2.5 XS, 2.5 XS PREMIUM, ANNIVERSARY EDITION, SPORTS 2.5 X, X, X L.L. BEAN EDITION, XS, and 2004 - 2008 Forester 2.5 XT, SPORTS 2.5 XT, XT, XT LIMITED.
Using the EBC Yellowstuff Rear Brake Pads is straightforward. First, make sure you install them correctly according to your vehicle's manual. After installation, take it easy on the brakes for the first few miles to let the red 'brake in' surface coating do its job. This will ensure instant safe braking. When driving, you'll notice improved stopping power right away, whether you're on the street or the track. Just remember, although these pads can handle repeated heavy braking, try not to over - stress them in extreme conditions for long periods. For maintenance, regularly check your brake discs and rotors for any signs of wear. If you see excessive wear or damage, it might be time to replace the pads or have the discs serviced. Also, keep an eye on the brake fluid level as proper fluid is crucial for the overall performance of your braking system.
