EBC Yellowstuff & Premium OE 290mm Front Brake Kit • PD03KF695

Fits Mazda MX-5 Mk3 / Mk3.5 / Mk3.75 NC 1.8 and 2.0 models from 2005-2015 using the 290mm vented front brake discs with Advics front calipers.

The EBC PD03KF695 front brake kit combines a complete axle set of EBC Yellowstuff performance brake pads with a matched pair of EBC Premium OE Replacement plain front brake discs. It provides a complete direct-fit braking package for compatible Mazda MX-5 NC models.

The kit consists of EBC DP41774R Yellowstuff front brake pads and EBC D1505 Premium OE Replacement front brake discs. It is particularly suited to enthusiast-driven road cars where increased fast-road braking capability is wanted while retaining a conventional plain OE-style brake disc.

Yellowstuff Brake Pads

EBC Yellowstuff is a high-friction performance brake pad developed primarily for fast-road use. It provides strong braking performance from cold together with increased resistance to repeated heavy braking, making it well suited to enthusiast-driven MX-5s where greater braking capability is required than from a conventional everyday replacement pad.

The DP41774R pads are fully shimmed, chamfered and slotted and incorporate EBC's Brake-In™ surface coating to assist initial bedding. This application is ECE R90 approved for road use.

EBC currently positions Yellowstuff principally as a fast-street / fast-road compound. Yellowstuff can cope with demanding braking, but EBC no longer recommends it as the preferred compound for dedicated track use because of its longer bedding requirements. For regular circuit use, Bluestuff or one of EBC's dedicated motorsport compounds is the more appropriate choice.

EBC Premium OE Replacement Brake Discs

The matching D1505 discs are EBC Premium plain brake discs designed as direct replacements for the original front rotors. They retain the 290mm diameter, 22mm thickness and 5 x 114.3mm mounting arrangement used by the compatible MX-5 NC front braking system.

EBC's Premium OE-style discs use a conventional plain braking surface and are designed as direct-fit replacement rotors. The PD03 kit therefore provides the increased friction characteristics of Yellowstuff pads while retaining a standard-style front disc rather than moving to a grooved, slotted or dimpled performance rotor.

Typical Reasons for Replacement or Upgrade:

• Existing front brake discs have reached or are approaching their minimum thickness
• Front discs are heavily corroded, scored or suffering from excessive runout
• Front brake pads are worn or approaching their service limit
• Upgrading from standard road-focused pads for more demanding fast-road driving
• Replacing front pads and discs together as a matched EBC package
• Refreshing an ageing MX-5 NC front braking system

Fitment Advice:

This kit is specifically for the 290mm vented front disc with Advics front calipers used on compatible Mazda MX-5 NC models.

EBC application data supports both 1.8 and 2.0-litre NC applications, including compatible Sport / 6-speed models using the same front brake arrangement.

For imported, modified or previously repaired cars, matching the part number or component style on the part being replaced is recommended.

Brake discs should be installed onto thoroughly cleaned and corrosion-free hub faces. Disc runout should be checked where appropriate, and all fasteners should be tightened to the correct Mazda torque specifications.

New pads and discs should be progressively bedded according to EBC's current bedding procedure before sustained heavy braking.

Other Items to Consider:

• Matching EBC rear brake pads and discs
• Fresh performance brake fluid
• Braided brake hoses where appropriate
• Brake fitting hardware where worn or corroded
• Brake cleaner
• Suitable high-temperature brake lubricant for approved contact points

Useful Tools:

• Torque wrench
• Brake piston compression tool
• Brake cleaner
• Wire brush or hub-cleaning tool
• Dial indicator where checking brake disc runout

Difficulty Guide: Intermediate. Brake replacement requires safe vehicle lifting, correct preparation of the hub and braking components and accurate torque procedures. Professional installation is recommended where the installer is not experienced with brake-system servicing.
