EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads – BMW X1 2.0 Turbo (28i)
The EBC Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads are a high-performance braking upgrade engineered for BMW drivers who demand strong stopping power on the street with the ability to handle aggressive driving and occasional track use. Designed specifically for the front axle, these pads deliver confident braking response from cold while maintaining consistent friction under sustained heat.
Yellowstuff uses an advanced aramid fiber semi-metallic compound that provides a powerful initial bite and stable pedal feel across a wide temperature range. With an operating capability up to 900°F (480°C), these pads significantly reduce brake fade compared to standard OEM or sport pads.
Each set is factory scorched (pre-bedded) for quick break-in and immediate performance. Precision chamfers and slots help manage heat, reduce vibration, and minimize noise while remaining rotor-friendly when properly bedded.
This is the ideal front brake pad choice for performance-oriented BMW sedans and SUVs, including the BMW X1 28i, where front braking performance plays a critical role in stopping confidence and control.

EBC Yellowstuff Rear Brake Pads – BMW X1 2.0 Turbo (28i)
The EBC Yellowstuff Rear Brake Pads are designed to complement high-performance front braking systems by delivering consistent rear braking force and improved vehicle balance. Intended for rear axle use only, these pads are ideal for spirited street driving, autocross, and light track applications.
Using the same aramid fiber semi-metallic compound, Yellowstuff rear pads maintain predictable braking behavior under heat while offering strong response from cold. Their fade-resistant nature ensures stable braking during repeated stops, especially in heavier BMW platforms and AWD models.
Factory scorching allows for rapid bedding, while slotting and chamfered edges reduce noise and promote even wear. When properly bedded, these pads are rotor-friendly and offer long service life relative to traditional performance compounds.
