Product Description

Upgrade your McLaren MP4-12C’s braking performance with EBC Yellowstuff front pads — a high-friction, semi-metallic compound engineered to deliver strong, consistent stopping power right from cold. These pads are designed for spirited street driving and occasional track use, providing improved initial bite and stable braking under repeated heavy stops. The Yellowstuff compound was reformulated in 2021 to be copper-free while retaining excellent heat resistance, so you’re getting modern performance with environmental compliance. With chamfered edges, center-line slots, noise-reduction shims and pre-bedded “Brake-in” coating, they install cleanly and perform reliably from day one. If you demand confidence-inspiring braking on fast street runs and want a pad that strikes a balance between daily drivability and performance potential — this is a top-tier choice.

Fitment Notes

  • Compatible with McLaren MP4-12C 3.8 Twin Turbo (both standard and Spider) — years ~2011-2014.

  • Front-caliper fitment: factory AP-style front calipers as used on MP4-12C.

  • Not intended as a dedicated track-only pad; ideal for fast street and occasional track sessions.

Included

  • One complete set of front brake pads (left & right wheel positions) for both front calipers — 2 pads total.

  • All necessary anti-rattle shims, slot-chamfered pad plates and hardware as required for installation.

Product Specs

  • Compound: Aramid-fiber semi-metallic (Yellowstuff)

  • Friction coefficient (bedded): ~0.42–0.48 µ (stable under high temperatures)

  • Operating temperature range: Effective from cold; rated for up to ~900 °F (≈ 480 °C) for strong braking performance under load.

  • Pad dimensions (approx.): 149 × 82 × 17 mm (varies slightly depending on caliper casting) — typical spec for part number DP4042R / DP4062R.

Product Features

  • Strong cold-bite & reliable stopping power: Yellowstuff delivers immediate and confident brake response from first pedal touch — no warm-up needed. 

  • Consistent performance under repeated heavy braking: The pad retains stable friction and resists fade even under demanding use, ideal for high-speed street driving or occasional track use. 

  • Pre-bedded and street-legal: The pads arrive with “Brake-in” surface coating and meet R90 homologation for street use — offering both convenience and compliance.

  • Slot-chamfered design with shims: Precision machining and included hardware reduce noise, minimize rotor wear, and ensure smooth, controlled braking feel. 

  • Balanced street/track usage: Ideal for owners who want upgraded braking for spirited driving, canyon runs, or occasional track days — all without the compromise of harsh race-only pads.
