    I bought EBC yellow stuff and took my Audi A6 to the track. They literally MELTED after 6 laps. Super dangerous! I went back to Brembo, 10x better

      I think many pads would struggle in A6 on a track as it’s quite heavy car.

      Yellowstuff will always struggle if your tracking a heavy car, if it was a car around the 1200-1300kg then yellowstuffs are fine for some light track driving. Use the rpx for your heavy car and it’ll be fine and maybe even bluestuff ones.

    Interesting to hear your experience. I've got some yellowstuff on my M2 and they felt great on the road but yeah on track I found I have loads of vibration under heavy braking after about 2 laps and it never goes away until they fully cool down again. I always do a good cool down lap and don't put the parking brake on after a track session etc and haven't had this issue with these pads on other cars so its a bit odd. I've got some new 2 piece discs waiting to go on and was thinking I might put bluestuff pads on at the same time but after hearing your review idk about that now lol

      Thanks for your feedback. I think bluestuff might behave similarly to yours so I wouldn’t bother. I think I’ve learned my lesson and go mx72 this time.

    My MINI has the EBC Bluestuff, for a year now, and it’s been good in that application. Handled auto x and light track work at Willow Springs pretty well. I had R1 Concept pads and those were garbage- very greasy / low bite either cold or hot.

    Really nice video as always! I can really recomend the Ferodo ds1.11, they squeal sometimes but not to bad honestly. It doesn’t bother me at all. The stopping power is amazing, both on track and in street use

      Are they road legal or track only?

    Clio 4 Trophy with 4 pots and 345mm rotor , upgraded from street brembo pad to EBC blue NDX, did the bed in procedure, gone on track and cooked the rotors in 2 laps. I'll never purchase EBC again. The street brembo pads were more reliable.
    Every time brakes get hot they now produce lot of vibration. It doesn't happen when brake are cold or warm so I don't think the disks are warped. Some spots apper darker on the disks.

      @@MDrives i think track pads are too aggressive on the rotors. I feel more confident to return to a good street pad. Maybe Brembo or Ferodo.

    I have found the ebc blue on my RCZ-R, they need heat to work their best on track, along with good racing fluid (Castrol srf) they last a good few laps with no fade. On road when cold or day to day driving, I agree they don't have good initial bite. I think they are ideal for the intermediate track day driver that doesn't want to swap pads at the track. Eventually I'll be going for ferodo ds Uno or another dedicated track pad, that I'll swap for each track day.

      Thanks for your feedback. They survived Nurburgring but I just don’t like how they behave in everyday environment.

    same here.. bluestuff on a tts with zimmerman coat z rotors.. vibrations after 5min downhill.. i was about to change discs i thought they were the problem but actually the pads

    • @MDrives
      @MDrives  Місяць тому +1

      I agree. I think they have a tendency to gather on discs if you don’t brake hard often.

    No dust = discs being eaten. Ive ran ds2500's on a few cars and they tend to warp stock discs

      100% go for it :). They don’t squeal, dust is low and easy removal. Pedal bite & modulation is good. Temperature range is amazing 50-750c. Only downside is the price 400 euro for the fronts, but you get what you pay for :).

    I had EBC yellow stuff for 10k miles on my M140i. Worst pads of my life!!!! The pads constantly left deposits causing HUGE vibrations under breaking, pulsating brake pedal, awful squeal and so so dirty wheels. HATE EBC. - Not sure why so many people love them to be honest!
