EBC 02-06 RSX Type S / 06-11 Civic Si Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads Reviews

An amazing brake pad and company, I only get about 7,000 miles out of them but the best street/ track pad out there...

Went for EBC yellows on all four corners when I found Hawk HP+s a bit too abrasive for street driving. The yellows are fantastic on the street, and acceptable on moderate braking tracks. Where they let me down was in two areas: pad life, which was 1.5 track days and a few months of street driving in between, and how they held up on a hard braking track (Laguna Seca), where they basically melted under the stress of going into Turn 2. If anything, these pads just accentuate the need for a true track pad and then swapping to street pads, because attempts to do both mean you are compromising in at least one place or the other.

I bought a set of these along with some EBC Ultimax Plain Rotors for Auto-x and these pads have much better bite than stock. They are perfect for performance oriented driving, but they are dustier than normal. I'd say they are about as dusty as Hawk HP+ pads, but they are much quieter.
