EBC Yellowstuff vs. Hawk HPS 5.0 vs. OEM
Hi -
First time poster here! I have a 2016 SS Convertible. Bought used at 50k miles in August. Love everything about this car except the lack of a supercharger and the brakes (previous car was a Hellcat Challenger lolol). Not looking to spend a mint going to the 6 piston setup and from everything I've read, it sounds like the solution to my brake situation is SS lines, fresh fluid of the Motul 600 or 5.1/ATE 200 variety and new pads. I'm not so worried about dusting, but I do want some improved performance. Intended use is limited DD (I've been work from home for 12 years now), and spirited country driving. Could see myself getting out to Deal's Gap sometime soon. Everything I've read here points to the Hawk HPS 5.0 or OEM pads as being a great fit. I've had good success with EBC pads on my motorcycle, so I'm looking at the Yellowstuff pads, which I don't think I've seen mentioned here at all, after reading through 48 pages last night hahaha Out of these three, which seems best suited for what I am doing? Thanks! J.Ja Last edited by jmjames; 02-08-2021 at 09:08 PM. |

If dust is not a concern the Brembo OEM's grab nice

Yeah, a lot of folks on here say that, seems like the Hawk HPS 5.0 does too, but with less dusting? I'm really curious how the EBC Yellowstuff stack up to OEM and HPS though. Hmmm! They are a pretty expensive experiment, but at least it isn't too much work to find out.
