Stock brake pads on the Fusion 1.6 Turbo handle commuter loads, not the braking demands of a spirited driver who expects confident, fade-resistant stops at every speed. EBC Yellowstuff rear pads deliver a 15 percent improvement in brake effect over OEM, giving the Fusion a noticeably shorter stopping distance with progressive, predictable pedal feel from the first press.
Aramid fiber compound with exceptional cold bite. Yellowstuff uses an aramid fiber-based formula that grips from cold and grows stronger as temperatures rise. Fade resistance builds through the heat range encountered in fast street driving, so hard stops on an on-ramp or a spirited back road never turn soft or spongy.
Fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered construction. Every pad ships with a Brake-In coating that accelerates the bed-in process, and the slotted and chamfered edges minimize noise from day one. The result is super-quiet, smooth operation under all driving conditions without sacrificing bite or initial response.
Built to resist debond and stay put. EBC bonds these pads using Nucap NRS mechanical hooks on the backing plates, a retention system that eliminates the risk of friction material separating from the plate under hard use. That added security matters on a turbo platform where aggressive driving is the point.
R90-approved and street legal. These pads carry ECE R90 certification, confirming cold performance at least equal to OEM standards. They are approved for public road use in European markets and safe for street driving everywhere. Drivers who plan dedicated track days should consider EBC Bluestuff instead, since Yellowstuff requires a longer bed-in process and its heat ceiling is optimized for fast street rather than sustained circuit temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius.
