What is the proper break-in procedure for the EBC Yellowstuff pads?

After installation, perform a series of moderate stops from about 35-40 mph down to 10-15 mph, without coming to a complete stop. Repeat this 8-10 times. Then, perform 2-3 harder stops from about 50-60 mph down to 15 mph. Allow the brakes to cool completely before driving normally.

Do I need any special tools to install this brake kit?

Standard brake job tools are generally required, including wrenches, sockets, a C-clamp or piston compressor, and potentially a torque wrench for proper reassembly. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications.

Will this kit reduce brake dust compared to my stock pads?

While the Yellowstuff pads offer improved performance, they are a performance compound and may produce more dust than standard OEM pads. The slotted and drilled rotors do help manage heat and gas, which can contribute to cleaner pad performance.

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly step up your Subaru Impreza's braking performance, especially for spirited driving or track days, this EBC S6 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to give your 2005-2017 Impreza, including WRX STI models, a noticeable improvement in stopping power and heat management. It bundles together performance-oriented brake rotors and pads, taking the guesswork out of selecting compatible components for a serious brake upgrade.

The heart of this kit lies in its well-built components. The rotors feature a unique combination of blind drilled holes and a unique vane slotting pattern. The drilled holes help vent hot gases and moisture away from the pad surface, which is crucial for maintaining consistent braking performance under heavy use. The slotting pattern on the rotor surface further aids in cleaning the pad surface and dissipating heat. These rotors are typically cast from high-carbon iron, which offers better thermal stability and resistance to cracking compared to standard gray iron, a common concern with performance braking. Paired with these rotors are EBC's Yellowstuff performance brake pads. These pads are known for their excellent initial bite and fade resistance, making them suitable for both aggressive street driving and occasional track use. They are formulated to work effectively with the drilled and slotted rotors, providing a strong, reliable stopping force without excessive noise or dust for a performance pad.

When installing this kit, you'll be replacing your front rotors and pads. It's a good idea to inspect your brake lines and calipers while you have everything apart to ensure they are in good condition. This kit is a comprehensive solution for Subaru owners who demand more from their braking system. Remember to follow the proper bed-in procedure for the Yellowstuff pads after installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new components.
