EBC Fusion 1.6 Turbo Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads (2013-2018)

Stock brake pads on the Fusion 1.6 Turbo handle everyday commutes, but drivers who push the car on fast roads need a pad compound that builds friction as temperatures rise rather than fading away. EBC Yellowstuff front brake pads deliver a 15 percent improvement in brake effect over OEM pads, with excellent cold bite that gets even stronger under heat.

Aramid fiber compound with a wide heat range. Yellowstuff uses an aramid fiber-based formula that provides strong initial bite from cold and continues to build friction as the brakes work harder. On the street, this translates to drastically reduced stopping distances compared to OEM pads, with progressive, consistent pedal feel across the full range of driving conditions.

Fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered construction. Every pad in the Yellowstuff range ships with a fully shimmed backing plate, slotted face, and chamfered edges. These features work together to eliminate noise and vibration under all braking conditions, keeping operation smooth and quiet on daily drives and spirited runs alike.

Brake-In coating and NRS mechanical attachment. EBC applies a Brake-In coating from the factory to accelerate the bed-in process, so pads reach full performance faster during the first 100 to 200 miles of normal street use. Backing plates use Nucap NRS mechanical hooks rather than adhesive bonding alone, which completely eliminates the risk of pad delamination from the steel plate.

Street legal and ECE R90 approved. Yellowstuff pads carry full ECE R90 brake safety approval, confirming they meet or exceed OEM cold-bite performance standards. This certification makes them legal for public highway use across European markets and confirms the compound works correctly from ambient temperatures before any heat is built up.

A note on intended use. Yellowstuff reaches its green fade threshold at approximately 400 degrees Celsius, which covers the full range of aggressive street and fast-road driving. Track sessions on most cars can push brake temperatures above 500 to 600 degrees Celsius. For dedicated track day use, EBC Bluestuff NDX offers a shorter bed-in period and a higher fade threshold. For a low-dust street pad, EBC Redstuff is the appropriate choice.
