Default EBC yellow pads

all i have to say is WOOOWW, just installed them an hour ago and and took a quick ride on the highway and u can easily feel the difference i was thinking on getting the big brake kit from teraflex but is way far on my budget so i went with the yellow pads . im planning on using the green pads on the rear.

Be fore warned. The Green Stuff pads do squeal a lot when they haven't been heated up. So unless you're going to be running road courses in your Wrangler. Be prepared to hear constant break squeal.

Yellow Stuff is still a bit overkill on a Wrangler. OEM brakes are more than enough on all four wheels unless you've added very large tires and more static weight such as skid plates and bumpers.

The colored EBC brake pads are designed for race applications. I ASSUME your use case is mostly highway and mild off-road use. Using these pads might stop you slightly better but they're going to wear much quicker too. Larger rotors and calipers are really what's needed for a vehicle of this type.

The other draw back to these color pads is brake dust. You're going to get a lot of it.

Been running EBC yellow in front and green on the rears for over 2 years. have yet to hear a squeal from them. Dust, yes, squeal, no.
