EBC Yellowstuff DP42277R Front Pads for Akebono Callipers - Road and Track Upgrade

Looking for a serious braking upgrade for your Audi or Volkswagen with Akebono front callipers? The EBC Yellowstuff DP42277R front axle pad set is a proven performance choice for fast road driving and track days, delivering strong bite from cold, high friction, and fade-resistant stopping power when worked hard. Expect confident, progressive pedal feel on the street and dependable performance during spirited runs and short circuit sessions.

We run Yellowstuff on our own cars and customer feedback mirrors our experience: superb initial response, excellent modulation, reduced dust compared with many factory pads, and well-controlled noise thanks to integrated shims and chamfered edges. EBC’s Brake-In surface coating speeds up bedding-in, while the ceramic-enhanced compound provides consistent braking across a wide temperature range.

Why this pad set is a proper upgrade

• High torque friction material with strong cold bite and reliable hot performance
• Great for heavier and higher power vehicles that demand serious stopping performance
• Lower dust output than many OE pads for cleaner wheels in daily use
• Noise-reduction shims and chamfers for refined manners on the road
• Brake-In surface coating for rapid and effective bed-in after installation
• Type approved road-legal performance pads suitable for fast road, track day and drift
• Front axle pad set for Akebono front calliper applications only
