With heavier, more capable vehicles, it鈥檚 crucial to ensure your stopping power is up to standards, and luckily, 91传媒 has a range of pad upgrades that revolve around this ever-growing market.

Below are our top picks for towing/4x4s/trucks and the demanding lifestyles that come with them鈥�

Extra Duty ED+

Brake pads for light trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs. These pads are super grippy, high-friction, and designed for the extra braking demands of聽towing, heavy loads, or trucks with lifted suspension and oversized tyres and wheels, where a standard ‘stock’ brake system can鈥檛 cope.

ED+ pads offer聽medium-plus lifetime, but what these drivers really want is聽fabulous brakes with stopping power that keeps them safe, and they鈥檙e聽not concerned about changing pads every 7鈥�12,000 miles.

Greenstuff Elite

DP6000 Elite-series green pads from EBC are superb premium pads for SUVs and light trucks. They not only replace but also upgrade your stock pads, providing a more grippy, silent, smooth, and long-lasting brake setup. Carrying the prestigious Leaf Mark with the highest N rating, recognised for its superior environmental safety.

Yellowstuff

The first in a new range of ‘hybrid’ materials that can be safely and legally used on the world’s roads (being R90 approved), Yellowstuff is a high-friction, high-capability upgrade pad for various road and occassional track applications.

With its impressively broad skill set, Yellowstuff has been the flagship pad by EBC for over a decade and gives instant brake response, great feel and modulations with silky-smooth noise-free braking and was also improved in 2021 to be copper free and conform to all new legislations for the environment.

Expect strong, stable friction once bedded-in and very minimal rotor damage, whether used on road or track.

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad 鈥� just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties.

Welcome back to our 鈥楽uit Your Style鈥� blog series, where we match you up with 91传媒 upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

Next up, we focus on a corner of the automotive world that many are very passionate about: classic cars. Balancing modern stopping power whilst retaining that all-important character is something that owners take very seriously. Thankfully, 91传媒 is proud to be a trusted and reliable name for many historic vehicle owners, continually delivering the perfect stopping power for these cherished machines.

Below are some popular 91传媒 components that are suitable for classic cars.

Ultimax2

The perfect quality daily driver pad option for all modern cars: petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric.

These premium quality, British-made pads are designed to meet or exceed the performance of any OEM pad and are fully R90 approved. The 91传媒 Ultimax range are long lasting, high friction pads designed for normal urban driving at all speeds, even on prestige cars, 4x4s and light trucks.

Ultimax pads feature centre slots, edge chamfers and Brake鈥慖n surface coating to condition discs after installation and help to quickly deliver stopping power on new pads. Hardware and wear leads included where fitted as standard. Tests at the MIRA research facility prove that these pads typically stop faster then OE.

Greenstuff

In tests, Greenstuff has been proven to stop a vehicle 20ft shorter than using stock pads. Greenstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered and slotted for silent braking and also feature the EBC Brake鈥怚n surface coating to accelerate pad bed鈥恑n after installation.

These pads are made from a specially designed softer compound which gives a longer lifetime as well as improved pedal feel at lower speeds.

Standard D Discs

Undoubtedly one of the best-selling and most popular aftermarket brake rotors on sale worldwide, 91传媒鈥� D Discs offer OEM quality made to the exact same spec as original parts, using G3000 grey iron.

Precision machined, balanced and 100% one-by-one runout inspected to guarantee zero rotor distortion out of the box.

Welcome to EBC’s ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with the 91传媒 upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

In today’s blog, we look at brake components that are most suited to vehicles whose main purpose is to enjoy on a back-road at the weekend. While these machines retain their road worthiness, they’re much more focused on performance than the day-to-day drivability of your commuter car.

Predominantly a high-performance braking company, 91传媒 unsurprisingly has a wealth of different options when it comes to driver-focused braking upgrades 鈥� many of which remain road legal and fully useable in daily driving conditions.

Below are some 91传媒 components that are suitable for weekend warrior vehicles.

Brake Pads

Yellowstuff

The first in a new range of ‘hybrid’ materials that can be safely and legally used on the world’s roads (being R90 approved), Yellowstuff is a high-friction upgrade pad for all fast-street use and can also be used on the track with proper bedding-in.

With its impressively broad skill set, Yellowstuff has been the flagship pad by EBC for over a decade and gives instant brake response, great feel and modulations with silky-smooth noise-free braking and was also improved in 2021 to be copper free and conform to all new legislations for the environment.

Expect strong, stable friction once bedded-in and very minimal rotor damage, whether used on road or track.

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad 鈥� just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties.

Bluestuff material exhibits a 0.52渭 stable friction once bedded, stable up to a slightly higher 550鈩�/1000鈩� than its sister compound Yellowstuff but with the benefit of a 30% longer lifespan.

Bluestuff has been a track day favourite for years and is the spec pad for the BMW 318i Cup series throughout Europe. New formula is copper free to conform to upcoming environmental legislations.

Brake Rotors

GD Discs

The latest in sport rotors, GD Discs feature wide aperture slots that draw cool air into the braking contact area and reduce temperatures, preventing brake fade.

Now featuring reduced three-slot venting which provides slightly less air noise under heavy braking whilst still maintaining the benefits of cooler running with the full-width slot design.

The design of these discs means that some wind noise is observed and if drivers feel they would find this offensive they are advised to select the quieter USR-series or the EBC plain (D) disc.

Another great feature of slotted discs is the way they maintain flat and parallel pad wear and avoid the record grooves or galling common with non-slotted discs. This improves pad contact and braking throughout the life of the disc and pad set.

USR Discs

Super-quiet sport-slotted brake discs, featuring the new 91传媒 narrow-profile slot pattern which helps cool and de-gas brakes under load and speed, but eliminates air noise common with some slotted discs.

Another great feature of slotted discs is the way they maintain flat and parallel pad wear and avoid the record grooves or galling common with non-slotted discs. This improves pad contact and braking throughout the life of the disc and pad set.

Another major benefit of the 91传媒 fine slotted discs is their ability to totally resist cracking common with ‘through-drilled’ discs.

BSD Discs

The new 91传媒 BSD-series brake discs vent the brake area better, drawing heat away from the central brake pad area and with more slot under the pad contact area.

These discs are totally silent in operation and de-gas your brakes when used at speed or under heavier loads minimising heat fade.

Now with lower pricing and the silver grey anti corrosion coating with show-thru silver slots, these discs are surely the best through-wheel looks and most functional sport discs on sale.

The fine slot pattern prevents the ribs that typically generate after 5,000-10,000 miles of use on non-slotted discs and maintain flat and parallel pad wear and due to the fine slot design can even extend pad wear life.

Welcome to our new 鈥楽uit Your Style鈥� blog series, where we match you up with 91传媒 upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

First up, we tackle undoubtedly the most common style of motoring out there: daily drivers. Whether it鈥檚 the work commute, popping to the shops or the long-distance family jaunt to the other side of the country, we all rely on decent, reliable brakes that can perform in a variety of situations on our daily-driven vehicles.

91传媒鈥� range of brake discs and rotors that match this style of driving is thankfully huge. There are a number of varying friction materials and rotor styles to choose from, offering subtly different characteristics when it comes to noise, performance, dust and cooling.

Below are some 91传媒 components that are suitable for daily-driven vehicles.

These pads are made from a specially designed softer compound which gives a longer lifetime as well as improved pedal feel at lower speeds.

Redstuff

Ceramic particles (not fibres) enhance the aramid fibre formulation used in 91传媒 Redstuff to deliver powerful and long-lasting silent braking for the discerning driver.

They also offer excellent low dust characteristics 鈥� showing an improvement of around 20-25% compared to OE 鈥� ideal for those who prefer to clean their wheels less frequently.

Expect great all-round performance, low dust and minimal rotor damage characteristics from this fantastic all-rounder.

Brake Rotors

Standard D Discs

Undoubtedly one of the best-selling and most popular aftermarket brake rotors on sale worldwide, 91传媒鈥� D Discs offer OEM quality made to the exact same spec as original parts, using G3000 grey iron.

With drifting relying heavily on strong and precise braking under your foot, Baggsy decided to continue his relationship with 91传媒, again entrusting the firm鈥檚 Yellowstuff pads and USR slotted discs聽to provide the stopping power.

This time around, the tour followed the 鈥楽ends in the Sun鈥� theme, touring the favourable climates of Spain and Portugal, including stop-offs at destinations such as Circuito Choquiero聽and Driftland PT.

Up in Smoke was spawned as an antidote to the top-flight drifting competitions that are spreading like wildfire across the globe, instead bringing drifting back to its humble roots with a proper road trip, featuring only road-legal cars, no trailers and an adventure across Europe that no entrant would ever forget.

You can check out more about how this year鈥檚 journey panned out over on Baggsy鈥檚 social media channels (links below).

Baggsy鈥檚 weapon of choice for Up in Smoke 2023 was the mighty Nissan 350Z. With a modest road-going example of this car purchased, he was quick to sprinkle it with an array of choice modifications to make it perform better on both road and track, heading straight to 91传媒 for a set of Yellowstuff pads and USR slotted discs to take care of the braking side of things.

Initially departing from Corby鈥檚 iconic Rockingham Motor Speedway, the gang headed to Harwich to catch a ferry over to Amsterdam as the first stopping point. From there, the group visited no less than seven countries and five drifting locations, including the Jura Sud Circuit in France, Circuit Andorra and the Circuit Du Bourbonnaise, where plenty of tyre-shredding excitement was had. Between each stop, the carefully planned trip also featured some of the most stunning mountain roads in the entire continent.

After a week of non-stop action, the tour eventually concluded at the world-famous N眉rburgring in Germany, where the gruelling 24hr race was taking place.

The first Up in Smoke tour was unsurprisingly a huge success, so stay tuned to hear more news on another potential instalment.Baggsy will continue his season with further entries into various international drifting championships 鈥� keep an eye on his socials (linked below) for the latest updates.

Jones currently sits 23^rd in the championship, with his sights set on lowering this number as the series heads to its next rounds in Washington, Utah and finally back to Jeff鈥檚 home state of California for the final leg in October.

Stay tuned to hear how he gets on for the rest of his 2022 campaign.
