I bought some YellowStuff pads to use at Road Atlanta this past weekend. I had never used this brand of pads before. I was concerned about all the stories I heve heard about brake fade and 'ice mode' on the Z. I chose EBC because of so many mixed comments on other brands. I also changed my fluid to ATE blue. To say the least, I am very impressed with these pads. I never experienced any fade and after changing them back to my regular pads, they didn't show significant wear.

It is important to note that these pads require a lot of heat to work properly. They are not good pads to use on the street.

You should also be careful when you order these as there is a lot of confusion about what fits our cars. This comes directly from the EBC website, which is wrong. I have the sport brakes and the proper pads are DP41823 (front).

After a long and demanding weekend at the track, I would confidently recommend these pads to anyone to use and will buy them again in the future.
