So far these are my favorite street pad on this car for my driving style and the price for the complete set is bonkers on how inexpensive these are. If you hate the yellow just paint them before install. Come along and Enjoy the Ride Along!

Thank you very much for this helpful video! I've been doing a lot of research on various manufacturers and their brake pad options, and this is THE most thorough and helpful video I've seen for the EBC yellow. Thank you!!
Glad you like them - the colour matches my calipers which is a relief :)
Got these on my Lancer Evo X running over 400bhp. Best pad I've used so far. Standard Brembo pads with the 4 pot callipers are awful. Night and day difference with the Brembo callipers and EBC pads with C hook floating discs. Sublime!
I agree in your disclaimer that braking performance and feel is subjective. I bought a set of Hawk street 5.0 and for everyday street driving it was fine but unusable and dangerous at the track. I went back to OEM brembo pads and haven’t looked back. I appreciate you continuing to test, and curating these wonderful videos.
yes the Hawk 5.0 are a street only pad never would i suggest those on track the HP+ are for light track use and the DTC versions
Ty. Installed these and love them.
Sounds so beautiful like symphony everything flowing together so beautifully 🏎️😈
I’m about to purchase this car Saturday 🤙 same spec and everything! Super excited
Good luck!
Please a short walkaround at the dealership! I hope to get one as well next year
Campfire road! I have the Yellowstuff pads on my 2020 S4. Great pad.
Perfect I'm buying for the s4 thanks for the info
Auto Fanatic great vid... Hope your using ZMAX in the oil for them turbos...
I had them on my 156 GTA race car. I got no fading on the track, but were holding only one weekend. I moved to pagid, but still with ebc disks ;)
I use EBC yellow stuff on my Ram truck and they work amazing for towing. I have 285 series tires and I can lock them up and that gets the ABS involved on a dry surface.
I just put a set in the 1969 Camaro Z28 Pro Touring im working on, see my IG and they were too powerful so i switched up, on the Alfa these work amazing on street and glad to hear you Ram works well also with these. What is your pad life so far?
They're great, you can lean lean and lean some more on them as you say. I'll be getting them again when my current OEMS run out
got the same pads on my GQV, defo the best for street
Hi！What is your parts number?
I always use EBC since I had an E39 M5 8 years ago. Almost no fading. No more OEM or another brand for me!
I have ebc yellow on a bmw z4 3.0si with classic brakes (single piston) and they don’t last too much and eat the disc too otherwise they brake well. Heat resistance is not high. If you have cooling ducts or a light car with big brakes they may do well on a racing track. But they are not advertised as track pads anyway.
They brake well when cold so for sporty street driving they do the job very well
For the price they are good imo. I don’t know if you can but something better unless you get something more expensive
Awesome car btw
yeah these are just a good inexpensive street pad i would call them i still prefer more aggressive pads but for daily use the trade off is excess dust, noise and rotor wear.
Great informative video as always! 👍 what recommendations would you have for the CCB as pads?
None
Does endless make pads for this car? Im still waiting for you try out their mx72 pad. I’ve had ebc yellow in the past. Mx72 has better cold bite, less dust, last waaaay longer and dead silent compare to ebc yellow without loosing warm and hot bite like a typical ceramic low dust pad. Only downside is its price.
I have a QV with the carbon ceramics , does this company make a pad for that set up
Just ordered these front and rear for my 16’ M235i along with dimpled and slotted Zimmermann rotors. Also flushing the brake fluid during the install. Excited to see the improvement. On my previous car (e90 335i) I installed Hawk HPS 5.0 pads with Stoptech drilled and slotted rotors and was disappointed. They weren’t bad but just barely better than stock and I had higher expectations.
the Hawk 5.0 are marginally better than stock by design but less dust and slightly higher temp range than most OEM pads
@@autofanaticcars Thanks for the response! If you say hawk 5.0s are marginally better than oem, what do you think about yellowstuff? Marginally better than hawks?
the EBC Yellow is a great street pad and very affordable thats what I seem to like about them. Performance can be awesome on some cars and marginally better than OEM on others it all depends how the rest of the brake system works in conjunction with the friction materials. On the Alfa which is a brake by wire system the EBC Yellow works excellent but on a BMW M3 or Ford Mustang they are decent
@@autofanaticcars I’m confident I’ll like them for my m235i (~3500lbs). I think it’s electronically assisted brake by wire but I’m really not sure. I do have oem brembo calipers (4 piston F & 2 piston R). I think the new pads, 2 piece/floating dimpled & slotted rotors and brake fluid flush will be a significant upgrade over what I had. Thank you for your responses!
Tested on AUDI RS6 V10 C6 AVANT
.650HP,AMAZING YELLOW...❤
Hi,
Is it necessary to do the bedding in procedure after 200 Miles? (80-10mph 8-10 times)
Thanks for another great video! What happen to the Tarox rotors?
sold them to a customer im waiting on Girodics to try out next
Campfire road, I like it
Keeping it real
EBC bluestuff and yellow stuff what is the differences.
Hey dude, amazing car and amazing channel, i'm following every video on the GQV.. But I have a question... Does the QV has the fake interior sounds through the speakers... I know the Stelvio has it, but it might be only for the small versions, not for the QV .... thanks
no this car has 100% real sound watch more of my videos you will hear it no fake sound like BMW
Where did you buy the pads with the wear sensor wires from?
@Auto Fanatic i search the part number that you provided and i think DP42354R is for QV
Ik this is old but wondering how they’ve held up? I got a 79 trans am thats faster than fuck and me my dad and brother all beat on it way too much, it absolutely nose dives with over half braking and just ordered these bad boys up!
How are these pads with brake modulation coming to a stop? Is there still that under 5 mph grab?
nope they feel awesome and linear
Hi. Great video as always. What exhaust do you have under?
Just the Centerline Alfa X pipe and its perfect.
What exhaust modifications have you done to the car? It sounds louder than stock, especially inside the cabin. Or could be from the mic...? Great video.
Centerline Alfa X Pipe it does sound great
Is the ceramic coat worth it and good
Hi, thanks a lot for the video 👍
I have a question : what about the stopping power of these pads when the brakes are still cold? Some people have reported finding no brakes with these pads, in an emergency situation on the highway where braking is very rare. Many thanks.
these stop awesome in all temps on my car
@@autofanaticcars ok, thanks 👍
You needed to make a statement that the calipers you are running on your car are a BBK type. This will also make a huge difference on how the pads will react and grab. The rotors are another area where as if one is running slotted or drilled the pads will not build up heat as fast and will have better fell through out the pedal range.
this video is just about the pads not the calipers or rotors
how much miles is on the giulia QV?
If I taught one thing while being racing instructor never let go of your wheel like that. =|
Anyways yellow pads are amazing if you actually track or do a LOT of heat cycling braking. I highly recommend the Red stuff a lot better low temp bite, braking modulation/feel, and the brake dust on it washes off easily. The red can heat cycle but it takes like 4 really hard laps on Laguna Seca to do so.
You have a lighter car and me and you can get away with reds.....red on this car would fade much quicker
at what timeline?
the internet is a small world, drive on campfire all the time. do all of my logs on that long straight. chappaqua resident myself
Awesome video. I have a 2017 Giulia Quadrifoglio. My major problem is all the brake dust from the stock brake pads. My car has 12k miles on her so far, but the constant brake dust and cleaning is almost a daily task lol. How is the brake dust with these? I don't mind the stock pads but looking to go a different route.
Also, love your detailing products. Been using the Spray wax and soap for almost year now and it is by far my go to!
these dust out just as much but are very easy to clean due to the aramid fiber compound the OEM are a bitch to clean with the resins used in those compounds.
Where can I buy these? Every search I do turns up a different model pad. And if I search the pads by model number they say they don’t fit the QV. Thanks!
Ebay lol
Where did you purchase the pads? I can’t seem to find them for the GQV specifically.
parts numbers listed in the video description they are not listed for the QV but Maserati and AMG models
Phil, have you tested any pads on Stelvio Quad and or would you recommend these pads ? Or based on your feedback is Stelvio a bit heavy for this pad. Thank your feedback. James
i would def use these on the Stelvio QV you will absolutely love them
Auto Fanatic , thank you I will definitely give the pads a go on the Stelvio sometime early fall.
Did you use spray paint?
Why does this car shift so slow?
Please use the spot meter when recording in-car, to expose for the outside. That constant blow out can make it tough to watch.
not sure how to do that can you tell me? i used a new camera mount this time around and i am still tweaking it, i want to start removing the rear view mirrors to give a much better frontal view.
@@autofanaticcars It's normally called spot meter.. With late model dSLRs you can set it to meter a specific point within the field of view. With GoPro, I have two, the Session and the Hero5. With the Session you can choose Spot Meter and it will meter the center of the field of view (so it has to be pointed at the area to be metered).
But with the Hero5 (probably the later models too) you hold your finger on the viewscreen on the back. A box of four corners will appear, continue holding down the finger and that box will shrink down to the area your finger is touching. Now you can lift and touch other parts of the screen and it will lock the exposure to the area (instead of spot metering they call this one exposure lock).
So, for example, you set up the GoPro on a headrest mount and you capture the whole windshield. Ok, now do the press and hold, then tap the brightest area of the windshield, then hit the checkmark. I usually tap the passenger side. It is now locked into exposing for just that area, effectively exposing for only the outside view, instead of the, relatively, dark interior.
This guy's video is a good example of what spot metering/exposure lock can do:
th-cam.com/video/XyCNF8AkBTA/w-d-xo.html
It is specific to GoPro but illustrates the concept very well for how most any modern camera can accommodate for exposure.
this was recorded with Iphone 11 Pro would that still be possible?
@@autofanaticcars Somewhat. The iPhone will lock exposure (and focus) but won't adjust after that.
Two short videos:

th-cam.com/video/g-y9m_DsB2Q/w-d-xo.html
any idea how these likely compare to the oem bembros on my Stinger gt ? which is 4165 lbs
OEM Stinger brembro brakes are not great, especially if in North America (non euro spec brakes). I own a G70 in Canada which has the same brakes and they aren't great and after 1 short track day I already feel them much worse. Ordered Yellowstuff today along with Motul 5.1 - hoping to put these to test in a couple months from now.
@@wdanda try the motul 600 it has a higher boiling point while still being dot 4
First comment
May I ask you why do you drive the car in such a high revs?
it sounds best that way since it is a biturbo engine and it loves to rev
Does anyone else notice the adam's hand sanitizer on the passenger side floor? lol
hi what brake pads do you consider the best?
There's no 'best' pad. pad design has so many trade-offs you have to pick one that fits your situation, preferences, and driving style
EBC RED Baby 2011 Camaro
what brembo brake do you recommend?
are you an alfa tech how do you or others dco alfa brakes and reset the oil light etc without going to a dealer
you need Multiscan ECU with all the latest updates and plugs its easy
@@autofanaticcars OK I'm a Honda tech my firend has. A veloce Giulia and I use the Xtool d8bt but hadn't tried it yet I'll do it Sunday but didn't know if you needed an expensive one for it mine was sorta pricey
Multiscan is like $80 download, need a windows Laptop and 3 specific OBD plugs they sell them on Ebay or Alfissimo sells them once you are all set up you can do quite a bit on these cars.
I’m not sure but... do you still love your QV? Because I do!
yes i do
Is this better than Hawk hps 5.0?
very similar to the Hawks but these seem to modulate and feel better on the street and have a higher temp range
@@autofanaticcars thanks for the info. I'm trying to decide between the two. Also, yellowstuff has been out of stock since Dec, but I think I'll wait out the Yellowstuff for my Audi S5 Sportback. Btw, you're around my area. I love seeing familiar roads in your video. It'll be unfortunate when you move.
Good video with honest reasonable comments. I will say however your car has an annoying name😂😂 thats just my dumb American opinion tho im sure its badass!!🤙
Wait...what happened to the carbon fiber scudetto?
the clear coat turned green from the sun and bothered me so i took it off and its in my garage, need to sell it cheap i kinda like it now without
@@autofanaticcars was it from koshi? I forgot.
Hi
I need it to stop from 160mph.
these are not the pads for those speeds
Are they squeaking for you?
Never but as these pads wore i hated them they were good for 4000 miles then braking gradually got worse. Get Carbotech pads!
@autofanaticcars ok thank you for the feedback! How are carbotech treating you?
Superior in every way
With EBC Yellows you may aswell use the std pads.
EBC stuff is cheap garbage.
