Using these EBC Yellowstuff brake pads is easy. Just follow the standard brake pad replacement procedure recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer. When installing, make sure the brake calipers and rotors are clean. As for usage, these pads don't need a warm - up, so you can use them right away on the street or track. However, keep in mind that they do produce more dust compared to some other pads. For maintenance, regularly check the thickness of the brake pads. If they get too thin, it's time to replace them. Also, inspect the rotors for any signs of wear or damage. When driving hard on the track, the pads will perform better as they heat up, but always drive safely and within your limits.
