Stock brake pads on the Focus 2.0 Turbo ST handle daily driving, but they leave real stopping performance on the table when doing an HPDE or endurance event. EBC Yellowstuff front pads close that gap with an aramid fiber-based compound that delivers a 15 percent improvement in brake effect and drastically reduced stopping distances compared to OEM pads.
Strong bite from cold, stronger still under heat. Yellowstuff's high-friction formula produces excellent cold bite that only improves as brake temperatures rise, giving the Focus ST progressive, predictable braking with unparalleled pedal feel across a wide range of driving conditions. The compound carries a green fade threshold of 400 degrees Celsius, covering the full temperature range of fast street driving with reserve to spare.
Built for the street, capable on lighter duty performance events. Yellowstuff suits fast street cars, spirited canyon runs, and short autocross stints where bedding time allows. For dedicated track days where pad temperatures routinely exceed 500 to 600 degrees Celsius, EBC's Bluestuff NDX grade offers a shorter bed-in period and higher fade resistance. On the street, bedding happens naturally over the first 100 to 200 miles of urban use.
Construction details that matter. Every pad ships with Brake-In coating for an accelerated bed-in period, and the fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered construction keeps noise suppressed under all conditions. Nucap NRS mechanical hooks on the backing plates eliminate any risk of pad delamination. The compound carries R90 approval, confirming it meets European public highway brake safety regulations from cold.
