Fitted mine 2 days ago and they're squealing like mad, is this normal until the wear in coating wears off?

[@srtowner]

Man your R56 sounds good.

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you 🙏

Hi, Ive just bought yellowstuff pads and new c hook discs, is it absolutely necessary to do the 2nd phase? Its quite difficult to do here in UK 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Underp4ntz_Gaming_Channel]

this is form their official site... driving 300 miles lol.... that guy is drunk... EBC Yellowstuff Bed-in Procedure Fast Street use Pre Bed Fade 1 - drive 50 to 100 miles on Public road/highway normal driving to allow the pads to mate up to the disc and establish full contact followed by 8 stops from 80 mph to 30 mph at 300 yard intervals and then coasting allowing the brakes to cool. If using Yellowstuff on the track …. FADE 2 - After the basic street pre bed above performed on the road or at the track if installed there …..Perform 10 medium pressure snubs at the track from 80-20mph leaving 300 meters between each snub (approx 0.4g decel) Allow pads to cool for 15 minutes minimum after coasting to the pits allowing brakes to cool a little. FADE 3 - Perform 6 high-pressure snubs from 90-20mph with a maximum acceleration between consecutive snubs. (approx 0.8g decel, or 80% of an emergency stop) Allow the brakes to fully cool for a minimum of 1 hour before the race session.

Hey so I just purchased ebc green stuff and ebc rotors. Been driving over 1000 miles now and still having a loud squeaking. Is that due to not bedding and will bedding fix this issue? Thanks in advance!

[@sgomez3047]

🤔 I just installed the same . But I purchased the cross drilled slotted rotors and I don't have any noise whatsoever. As far as bedding, would it help" ...it won't hurt. But what I would do is take the rotors off and take a wire brush to them . Front and back. And sand the pads a little. To take tye glaze off. And try to seat them and hope that works for best for you

[@giannimini3293]

hi I would like to install yellow pads also on my jcw with the groove and drill brake discs my question is do these pads brake well when they are cold?

[@ProjectMini]

Yes, you don’t need to warm them up at all. That was my concern as well living in the mountains with all the deer

[@giannimini3293]

@@ProjectMini ok nice thank for your reply i hope you are ok ✌

[@Skrill3x24]

I completely skip the 200 miles and what not. I do 8-10 hard braking from 60/70 or until I start fading, then drive around for a while. Never have had issues and I DD and track my car. The pink is to just remove old pad material, which works regardless if you drive easy for a couple hundred miles, or just do the hard braking.

[@ProjectMini]

Then why are you watching a video on how to do it?

[@Skrill3x24]

@@ProjectMini cause I just looked up yellow stuff pads just to see what kind of videos were out there

[@jaynikk758]

Did you experience squealing at all?

[@f1f278]

Hey have you tried Red stuff, if yes, how does it compare? If not, how do these yellows compared to OEM in terms of dust and performance?

[@ProjectMini]

They are much better in performance and only have a little more dust

[@f1f278]

@@ProjectMini awesome thank you

I put The EBC yellow stuff brake kits on all 4 wheels on my 2019 jaguar xe s awd. I haven't done the brake bedding yet but the brakes have at least 200 miles on them the fronts have a little more than the rears. The rears are squealing real bad, like a trash truck. I did some heavier braking and it did quiet them down, but after they cool, the squeal comes back. I will try this bedding technique and see if that helps.

[@imlst]

Have you tried to do what is shown in the video? I also put EBC yellow stuff pads and EBC brake discs on my Jaguar XE and they squeak disgustingly when heated. I have already driven about 3000 km.

[@imlst]

I've done 8 hard braking from 100 km/h to 20 and my yellow pads are still squealing when I stop. I'm upset about it.

[@MrToonfish]

Bought a set of EBC YellowStuff brake pads for my Megane RS Trophy-R (big Brembo calipers and bi material braking discs), I hope it will ok. I will install the EBC pads at the end of winter as the Megane is not a daily driven car, it's in the garage under a cover for winter ! ;-)

[@tamasf7]

Hi, so I haven’t read the instructions on my ebc yellow stone, and they’re squeaking hella loud now, what should I do?

[@ProjectMini]

How many miles have they been on your car? Have you bedded them yet?

[@tamasf7]

@@ProjectMini literally they been on for like 2days, and I drove no more than 100miles, just work and back to home

[@ProjectMini]

You’re so wearing the coating off. They should quiet down.

[@tamasf7]

@@ProjectMini alright, I feel a bit better now 😅 I’ll drive it around when I’m off. Thank you for the info and by the way I used to own a Mini Cooper too and I loved it but it was a bit older, but they’re quick!!

ohh man that shifting gets me thinking that i should had bought that instead of a manual ahah
