On the street, bedding happens naturally in the first 100-200 miles of urban use but for those drivers wishing to arrive at the track with new pads and enjoy their day, our current suggestion is to use the Bluestuff formulation for track day driving both front and rear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause of its huge heat range, the applications where EBC Yellowstuff will deliver benefits range from fastest street use on higher horsepower cars on most street-based cars and even as a brake upgrade on Trucks and SUV. Yellowstuff is especially appreciated on Trucks for towing and heavy loads and where wheel and tire oversize upgrades have been fitted. In trackday\/drift\/hillclimb races where earlier Yellow blends were suggested,  although track capable, is no longer recommended for track use on most cars due to its long bed-in process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEBC Orangestuff™\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe new EBC Orangestuff Pad is a brand new race pad and is specially designed for track only use. The deep 'V' grooves in the pad are used to catch dirt, debris and dust as well as aiding with venting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese will not be R90 tested for road use and are only manufactured for racing and track use. The Orangestuff Pad uses the same interlayer system which is used in the Bluestuff NDX range, this ensures a much stronger bond in the compound for increased strength for racing harsh conditions. This will allow for 3 times the strength against the normal road use organic pad.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrangestuff pads are pre-scorched which means that are already bedded in compared to the ordinary pad but we advise that a minimal bedding procedure is done to marry the pad to the disc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo laps at intermediate speed is advised, followed by a further two using heavier braking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLEASE NOTE, THESE PADS ARE FOR TRACK USE ONLY, THEY ARE NOT R90 APPROVED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf stock is available, we will dispatch on the same working day.
