EBC Yellowstuff & Premium OE 235mm Front Brake Kit • PD03KF692

Fits Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA 1.6 models from 1990-1998 using the 235mm vented front brake discs with Sumitomo front calipers.

The EBC PD03KF692 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 Mk1 / NA 1.6 models.

The kit consists of EBC DP4802R Yellowstuff front brake pads and EBC D418 Premium OE Replacement front brake discs. It is particularly well suited to enthusiast-driven road cars where increased fast-road braking capability is required 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 good resistance to repeated heavy braking, making it particularly well suited to enthusiast-driven MX-5s where greater braking capability is required than from a conventional everyday replacement pad.

The DP4802R pads use EBC's fully shimmed, slotted and chamfered construction together with the Brake-In™ surface coating to assist initial bedding. Yellowstuff is ECE R90 approved for road use.

EBC currently positions Yellowstuff principally as a fast-street / fast-road compound. For MX-5s intended primarily for repeated circuit use, EBC recommends moving to Bluestuff or one of its dedicated motorsport compounds because these are better suited to sustained track temperatures and faster bedding requirements.

EBC Premium OE Replacement Brake Discs

The matching D418 discs are EBC Premium plain brake discs designed as direct replacements for the original front rotors. They retain the standard 235mm diameter, 18mm thickness and 4 x 100mm mounting arrangement used by the compatible MX-5 NA 1.6 front braking system.

The conventional plain braking surface makes this kit particularly suitable for customers wanting the increased friction characteristics of Yellowstuff pads while retaining an OE-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 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 NA front braking system

Fitment Advice:

This kit is specifically for the 235mm vented front disc with Sumitomo front calipers fitted to compatible MX-5 Mk1 / NA 1.6 models.

The MX-5 NA 1.8 uses a larger front disc and requires a different EBC kit, so PD03KF692 should not be selected simply because the vehicle is an MX-5 Mk1.

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 brake fasteners 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 hub preparation and accurate torque procedures. Professional installation is recommended where the installer is not experienced with brake-system servicing.
