EBC yellow stuff. any one using?
I have hawk HPS now, i get lots of dust, and they don't hold the car at the line very well, and don't seem to brake well when cold
the main reason i would get these pads is for the "cold" performance. I need more holding power so i can stall the car up more when staged without rolling.
any info would help, i searched but couldn't find any thread on the yellow pads
basically i need better grip when stage so i can stall my higher. even 300 RPM would help a great deal

Maybe upgrading to Z06 brakes? Or LS1 daul pistons?
And try and get more heat into the pads befor you stage or drive the car
give it a coupe hard brakes, or ride them a lil bit

The front are dual pistons and unless your talking C6 Zo6 there wouldnt be much difference..

The Yellows are a competition type pad and not good for street driving as they require heat in them to perform right. I'd get greens or Hawk HPS pads.
Unfortunately brake pads are a lot like cams. Many bite off more than they need in a hope for better performance and some times regret it later.

I used the hawk HPS pads( those are the 80 dollar street/strip pads right?)
I used the EBC yellowstuff now, they seem to bite a bit better, I havent noticed slippage if they were cold..
but I see more dust than Hawk and more brake noise thank Hawks. Unless I just never noticed with the hawks..
Anyways, Im a 2002 z28 though..

HPS should work fine in the cold, this doesn't make much sense. Yellow's probably won't be any better sense they are more a race pad than HPS even though they claim to have a decent cold bite.
