DP41647R

Overview:

The EBC Yellowstuff Brake Pads are engineered for drivers who demand exceptional stopping power both on the street and the track. Designed specifically for the 2003 to 2004 Dodge Dakota, these front brake pads deliver championship-level performance with a unique compound that excels under high temperatures while maintaining excellent wear life. Whether you’re pushing your vehicle hard on the track or seeking reliable, confident braking during spirited street driving, Yellowstuff pads provide a perfect balance of aggressive bite and durability.

These pads are ideal for enthusiasts who want race-inspired braking performance without sacrificing everyday usability. Their formulation ensures strong braking power right from cold, eliminating the typical warm-up period required by many race materials. This makes them safe and effective for highway use as well as competitive motorsports.

Key Features:

EBC Yellowstuff Brake Pads incorporate advanced technology and thoughtful design to maximize braking efficiency and longevity. Key features include:

• High-temperature capable compound designed for all track use and performance street driving
• Exceptional cold bite for immediate braking response without warm-up
• Beveled edges and a center-line slot to reduce brake squeal and noise
• Unique EBC Break-In surface coating for rapid bedding and enhanced initial bite
• Powder-coated pad plates and backing for lifetime rust resistance
• Center-line slot vents heat and gases to prevent thermal cracking and brake fade
• Proven race and rally compound used by championship drivers since 2004
• Backed by a 12-month/10,000-mile warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design:

The Yellowstuff pads feature a proprietary race-type compound that balances aggressive friction with durability. The friction material is engineered to withstand extreme heat generated during track sessions while maintaining consistent performance and minimizing wear. The pads’ backing plates are powder coated to prevent corrosion, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity and reliable fitment.

The center-line slot is a critical design element that helps dissipate heat and gases produced during heavy braking, reducing the risk of thermal cracks and fade. Beveled edges further enhance pad-to-rotor contact and reduce noise, contributing to a quieter, more comfortable driving experience without compromising performance.

Performance & Sound

EBC Yellowstuff Brake Pads deliver aggressive stopping power with a strong initial bite, even when cold. This characteristic is uncommon among race-oriented pads, which typically require heat to reach optimal performance. The pads’ design minimizes brake squeal through the use of beveled edges and a center-line slot, resulting in whisper-quiet operation during everyday driving. On the track, they provide consistent pedal feel and fade resistance, giving drivers confidence under demanding conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are designed as direct replacements for the front brakes of 2003–2004 Dodge Dakota models, requiring no modifications for installation. They fit precisely to ensure proper alignment and optimal braking performance. Installation can be completed using standard brake service procedures, making them suitable for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
