EBC YellowStuff pads are designed to be used on the street while maintaining the ability to be abused on a track day. Although not a full race pad, this pad will not fade after a couple laps in like a OEM or slight upgrade. It will handle high heat and abuse and still be able to be driven home after you're done at the track. If you only daily drive your car, this pad still fits the bill and has great cold stopping characteristics while providing great stopping power in a wide range of use.
