My other car appears to have yellow brake pads, does anyone know if there are any pads out there, other than the ebc yellow stuff, that do yellow pads?
Cheers.

I have Pagid Rs29's (yellow pads) they are excelent. I tried EBC yellows last year and had to bin them because they felt woody. Sometimes they would it stop my car.

look on the back of the pad and it will tell you what make,they say ebc on them if its ebc,
iv got yellow ebc all round on mine and cant fault them,feel really good even under pressure.
Looking for some sticky pads which are gonna work under the higher temperatures.
Updated discs to Brembo Max grooved and pads need updating as my old ones dont stop me ehen they get really hot.
What stuff should i go for, red, yellow or green?
I can't recogmend the red stuff, I have it in my T5, there are times it feels like its not going to stop!!!
How about some Ferodo DS2500
What about green stuff?
I have some EBC yellowstuff pads in, they do need to warm up before full braking is achieved (cold braking is still good) but they work well (I do abuse the somewhat, I have to push very hard before they start to fade) and are low dust (unlike the genuine volvo ones).

I think ill go for yellow stuff.
I just need brakes which are still gonna work under high temperature.
Mapped V70 D5; EBC Yellow stuff ended up in the bin only 1/4 worn. Just too inconsistent when hot. Now running Volvo Police spec pads have have done for a few years. DS2500 very good a well if you need a bit more.
I tried EBC yellow stuff in my 'R' they were the worst brake pads I have ever tried. Sometimes they just wouldn't stop my car. I binned them after about 3000 miles.
I would only recommend Pagid RS29's, Carbotech XP8's or DS2500's your brakes are the most important bit on your car, if you don't stop you won't have a car left

To late. I ordered them already.
Will see. Hopefully they improved them.
If they still wont stop me from 140 then ill send them back.
Fingers crossed.
Don't worry mate, seems to me like pads can vary from car to car.
I'v had redstuff before and yes they do take a bit to warm up, but when they were warm they were excellent, just as good as the ds25s i'v experienced.
Just FYI, when my brother had DS25s on his 200sx they were excellent when warm but when they were cold they were pants and took longer to warm up than when i had DS25s on my car.
Whatever "performance" pads i'v had, they have always been worse when cold than standard pads. Because of that, i have always warned people if they were going to any of my cars, that at the start of the journey it will seem like it has sh*te brakes. lol

I hope they will be fine, because my yesterdays experience was really horrible.
Was coming to the roundabout and as the brakes were getting hotter, braking was getting worse and worse.
At the end of that there was no braking at all.
