Default EBC yellow stuff pads w/ pics

all I have to say about the EBC yellow stuff pads is WOW! I mean that just about sums it up once the weight of your foot on the brake pedal stops the truck and trailer your pullin better then those factory pads would just drivin without pullin anything! I highly recommend EBC pads. I also changed the shoes on the drums with crumby duralast golds(gonna convert to disc eventually).i also got rotors and drums turned. sum pics...

random pic's



the spring that holds shoes on drums.. heh lets just say its got sum pressure.


up close front pads



after the break in point on the brakes.... very impressed, a very slight amount of brake fade then instant BITE! stops very well from 60-0... dont know the distance but its alot better then it was thats for damn sure

Nice, I need my 3rd set of pads at 80K miles. Did you use those little metal squeelers or did the EBCs have them built in? I reused mine with the Napa Pads but they ALWAYS squeel now.

Im on my stock set of pads with 54K on my truck. They are known to last for 80K or more, what kinda braking do you do all day?

Turning rotors and pullling trailors? Woulda been better off just buying new rotors in my opion

EBC makes nice pad sets tho..low dust which is nice

I think I might try those next time, since I get a decent discount from them anyway. Though it may be a while considering I just did four sets of pads and rotors last fall and only drive a couple times a week

nehhh. new rotors wouldve been pointless.... stock are fine and i get them turned for free.... trust me when pullin the trailor it stops on a fruckin dime now! I will eventually be converting the rear drums to disc tho, baer or SSBC most likely.
