EBC Yellow-Green Stuff Brake Pads

**Bubba3200** · 10-15-2008, 09:39 PM

I have an '05 Rubicon with slotted and dimpled rotors and cermanic pads. If I went to yellow-green stuff pads would I see a big improvement in stopping power with my present rotors. And what makes these pads better???

**Bubba3200** · 10-16-2008, 09:34 AM

Anyone with any experience with these pads??

Yellow pads brake better than the green pads, according to some fairly extensive testing by a very through brake developer who is a member here. You'll also get better braking if you get rid of those dimpled/slotted rotors and go to a good heavy-duty all-cast rotor though which increases the swept surface area. It's well known dimpled/slotted rotors don't help a Jeep's braking in the least.

correct me if I am wrong, but the brake calipers also have a lot to do with braking power. Yes the infamous brake master might give his .02 sometime, But I know that you can have the fanciest brake pads money can buy, but with a single piston caliper and 35s, your still not going to stop in a hurry.

ps yellow pads do amazing things

Now you say so. I just installed Greenstuff pads 2 weeks ago. There was a noticable improvement over the base ceramic pads. Granted that was comparing worn brakes to new, but I did feel like the Jeep gained some noticable braking power.

Nah, EBC's Yellow Pads have been recommended many times here, some recently. No worries, your EBC Green Pads are still far better than most

after doing quite a bit of reading in the forum I ordered the EBC yellow and the Centric rotors from CarPartsWholesale.

Got them within a week without any problems.
