EBC Pads and Rotors

[kcm1582]

Well its about time to do the brakes on the front end of my truck and I'm thinking of putting a set of EBC yellowstuff pads and USR rotors on. The only thing I'm hung up on is I can't seem to find any information on how long they last. So if anyone is running these what kind of wear are you getting out of them.

I can't answer your question about the yellow pads specifically but I have the green ones and I can't recommend them anymore. I was happy at first, the stopping power is incredible. The problem is after about 5,000 miles they are very noisy because they have dozens of hairline cracks all over them and the shims are coming off of the backs of the pads. I'm convinced that EBC is crap.

I've never touched them on a car/truck. Their motorcycle pads are good, but that's a whole different world.

Wow I've never heard of that happening, might have to re consider my choice in brakes. Anyone else had this happen to their pads?
