EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads

2012–2016 Scion iQ

DP41295R

Overview:

The EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2012 to 2016 Scion iQ, delivering exceptional braking performance for both street and track use. These pads feature an advanced aramid fibre-based compound designed to provide ultra-high friction from cold, ensuring immediate and reliable stopping power without the need for warm-up. Ideal for drivers who demand superior braking response during spirited driving or track days, Yellowstuff pads offer a perfect balance between aggressive performance and everyday usability.

Unlike typical street pads, EBC Yellowstuff is formulated to excel under high temperatures generated by hard driving, becoming even more effective as the brakes heat up. This makes them a versatile choice for enthusiasts who want a single pad capable of handling daily commutes as well as occasional track sessions.

Key Features:

Designed to meet the needs of performance-oriented drivers, the EBC Yellowstuff pads incorporate cutting-edge technology and materials:

• Aramid fibre-based compound for high friction and excellent bite from cold
• Dual-purpose formulation suitable for both street and track driving
• Improved braking performance under heat, enhancing fade resistance
• Available in two compound versions: DM1793 (harder, longer-lasting) and DM2846 (race-focused)
• DM1793 recommended for OEM brake systems and track day use
• Proven success in competitive racing environments, including Swedish Camaro Cup
• Not a low dust pad; designed for maximum grip rather than minimal brake dust
• Pair includes both left and right front brake pads for complete axle replacement
• Free shipping included for added value

Construction & Design:

The Yellowstuff pads utilize an aramid fibre-based friction material, which is known for its strength and heat tolerance. This compound is engineered to provide immediate high friction, ensuring strong initial bite without the need for warming up. The pads are precision-molded to fit the OEM calipers of the Scion iQ, ensuring consistent contact and even wear. The robust construction supports aggressive driving styles while maintaining durability for extended use.

Two compound variants are available: DM1793, which is slightly harder and better suited for street and track applications with OEM calipers, and DM2846, a softer compound favored by serious racers using high-performance calipers. For most Scion iQ owners, the DM1793 compound offers the best balance of longevity and performance.

Installation & Fitment:

These front brake pads are designed as direct replacements for the factory pads on the 2012–2016 Scion iQ, requiring no modifications for installation. They fit standard OEM brake calipers and can be installed using common brake service tools. For optimal performance, it is recommended to inspect rotors and hardware during installation and replace or service as necessary.
