EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads
2004–2006 Scion xA / xB
DP41459R
Overview:
The EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models, delivering exceptional braking performance for both street and track use. These pads utilize an aramid fiber-based compound designed to provide high friction from cold temperatures, ensuring immediate and reliable stopping power without the need for warm-up. Ideal for enthusiasts who demand strong braking response during spirited driving or occasional track days, Yellowstuff pads offer a versatile solution that bridges the gap between daily driving and performance applications.
Unlike typical street pads, these are formulated to excel under hard braking conditions, progressively improving their grip as temperatures rise. While they produce more brake dust than some premium street pads, their superior bite and fade resistance make them a preferred choice for drivers seeking enhanced control and confidence behind the wheel.
Key Features:
Designed to meet the demands of both street and track environments, the EBC Yellowstuff pads incorporate advanced materials and technology to maximize braking efficiency. Key features include:
- Aramid fiber-based compound for high friction from cold
- Excellent initial bite with increasing performance under heat
- Suitable for OEM brake systems as fitted on Scion xA and xB
- Two compound variants available: DM1793 (recommended for street/track) and DM2846 (for high-efficiency race calipers)
- Durable construction offering longer pad life compared to typical race compounds
- Proven performance in various racing series and track day events
- Includes both left and right front pads for complete axle replacement
- Not a low dust formula; designed for maximum grip over cleanliness
Construction & Design:
The Yellowstuff pads are constructed using a high-quality aramid fiber compound, which is known for its heat resistance and strength. This material allows the pads to deliver consistent braking performance from the moment you start driving, without the need for extended warm-up periods. The compound’s design also ensures that the pads become more effective as they reach higher temperatures during aggressive driving or track sessions.
Manufactured with precision to fit the OEM caliper specifications of the Scion xA and xB, these pads maintain proper contact with the rotor surface, promoting even wear and reliable stopping power. The backing plates are engineered to minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a confident and controlled braking experience.
Performance & Sound
EBC Yellowstuff pads provide ultra-high friction levels that translate into shorter stopping distances and enhanced pedal feel. Their compound is optimized for both street and track use, allowing drivers to push their vehicles harder without fear of brake fade. While these pads are not designed to be silent, the sound profile is typical of high-performance brake pads, offering audible feedback that many enthusiasts appreciate as part of the driving experience.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads is straightforward and designed to fit directly onto the factory front brake calipers of 2004–2006 Scion xA and xB models. No modifications are necessary, making them an easy upgrade for owners seeking improved braking performance. It is recommended to inspect rotors and hardware during installation and replace or service as needed to ensure optimal pad performance and longevity.
What's Included:
- One pair of front brake pads (left and right sides)
- Manufacturing and fitment documentation
Ideal For:
The EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads are ideal for Scion xA and xB owners who want a high-performance braking solution capable of handling daily driving demands as well as occasional track or spirited driving sessions. They are perfect for enthusiasts who prioritize strong initial bite, fade resistance, and consistent pedal feel over low dust or ultra-quiet operation. These pads are also suitable for drivers using their vehicles in club racing or track day events with stock or lightly modified brake systems.
