Yellow Stuff Pads?

[MackemPete]

Anyone used them? they any good? Are they any more prone to squealing than other brands?

I inherited red stuff pads on my cerb when I bought it and they seem to take some warming before they perform where as I had the yellow stuff on my chim and they appeared to be much better...more consistant if you like...

Neither on them sqealed but I think this will be down to how they are installed, anti sqeal plates, what grease/copper grease is used, etc#

Do you do track days?

Not at the minute, but I am going to Nurburg in 2 weeks so decent stopping power would be a good idea. I dont fancy driving across europe with squeaky brakes though

When I removed the padsfrom mine (front and rear) it has this black spongy stuff stuck the rear of the pads (where they come into contact with the pistons)...I wasn't keen on this so scraped it off when I cleaned the pads up. When I put them back I used a heat proof silver coloured grease instead of copper grease and havent had any problems...having said that, the brakes didnt feel any different and they didnt squeal before I overhauled them...

Put them on mine about a month ago, squealed for the first week but gone now, great stopping power with no fade and cheap as chips but they are a harder pad so will wear your disks out quicker. Also about £140 less then the last set on :-)
