Product Details

If you're looking for rear brake pads that can handle both your daily commute and occasional track days, EBC's Yellowstuff compound is a solid option for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. These pads are built with an aramid fiber base, giving them strong braking power right from the start, even when cold. They're designed to perform better as they heat up, making them suitable for spirited driving and track use without fading.

While they are race-developed and offer excellent stopping power, it's important to know that Yellowstuff pads are not a low-dust option. If a clean wheel is your top priority for street driving, EBC's Redstuff pads might be a better fit. However, for drivers who push their cars and need reliable performance under demanding conditions, Yellowstuff has a proven track record. They've been used successfully in various racing series, proving their effectiveness and rotor-friendliness for vehicles up to 2000 lbs or 200 BHP.

This particular set, DP42180R, is designed for the rear of many Mercedes-Benz models, including the S550, S450, and SL550. They fit right into your existing caliper system, making installation straightforward for those familiar with brake jobs. Just remember to consult your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures.
