Yellowstuff pads?
Anyone using EBC yellowstuff pads on the M2? Just wondering how they perform? Want a pad that can tackle both road and track (cba trying to change them every time, i'm pretty dangerous with a spanner!)

Here's a post from a previous brake pad/rotor thread Another option is to run a rotor friendly track pad. I got sick of swapping out pads at the track especially when I had a couple students to worry about as well. I've had outstanding results running these 3 pads both on the street and at HPDE's. Raybestos ST43's Carbotech 10's, or 12's Porterfield R4's. All three are acceptable pads for street use even in freezing temps. All three will not eat rotors when cold (most track ready pads will destroy rotors until they heat up) All three have excellent initial bite, have 1200+ degree heat tolerance, zero fade. All three will dust a ton and squeal as you stop unless they're hot. Right now my go to pad is the Carbotech 12's. Their was a split within the company and a additional brand G-Loc offers similar options. HTH, HAZMAT

Tried on Scirocco R amazing pad no noise bite from cold work better the hotter they get can take unlimited fast road abuse.
Highly recommended. Careful of the trend to regurgitate opinion and review on these pads going back 8-10 years. They're a lot better now |

I ran a set in the front, very good on the street but they lasted only 2 track days and overheated easily.
I ran them street and track on my past MX5 and it worked until I got better, one you grow some skill on the track you can destroy them in a day.

Yes most people saying they're not a true track pad and it was recommended for only light or occasional track work.
Fantastic road pad IMO when my stocks run out that's what I'll drop in. |

First with Pagid RS29s on my 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 and now with Pagid RSL29s on my M2C (not sure if there is a difference between the older RS29s and the RSL29s other than nomenclature) Excellent cold bite Acceptable rotor wear Only occasional and minor squealing on the road, but I do try to get to the track at least once a month and the car is not a daily driver The new Ferodo DS3.12 also sounds very promising, as well In any case, installation makes a big difference A proper cleaning of the parts followed by application of a quality grease/lubricant that can withstand high temperatures and won't run off or wash off onto friction surfaces Focus on areas that have metal to metal contact such as the sides and backs of the pad backing plates, calipers and even the brake pad retaining clip pins |
