EBC Yellowstuff & Premium OE 269mm Front Brake Kit – Sport • PD03KF694

Fits Mazda MX-5 Mk2 / Mk2.5 NB 1.8 Sport and Sport LSD models from 2001-2005 using the larger 269/270mm vented front brake discs with Sumitomo front calipers.

The EBC PD03KF694 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 NB 1.8 Sport applications using the factory larger front brake arrangement.

The kit consists of EBC DP41452R Yellowstuff front brake pads and EBC D1254 Premium OE Replacement front brake discs. It is particularly 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 for fast-road driving and higher-performance vehicles where greater braking capability is required than from a conventional everyday replacement pad. It provides strong friction from cold, making it practical for a road-driven MX-5 without requiring the brakes to be brought up to temperature before providing useful braking performance.

The DP41452R pads are fully shimmed, chamfered and slotted and incorporate EBC's Brake-In™ surface coating to assist initial bedding. EBC currently lists DP41452R as ECE R90 approved for this application.

EBC currently positions Yellowstuff primarily as a fast-street / fast-road compound and marks DP41452R as not being its preferred dedicated track pad. For an MX-5 intended for regular circuit use, Bluestuff or one of EBC's dedicated motorsport compounds should be considered instead.

EBC Premium OE Replacement Brake Discs

The matching D1254 discs are EBC Premium plain brake discs designed as direct replacements for the larger factory front rotors used on the applicable MX-5 NB Sport braking system.

They retain the original 269mm nominal diameter, 22mm thickness and 4 x 100mm mounting arrangement. The discs are vented to assist heat management and use a conventional plain braking surface, making this kit particularly suitable for owners wanting Yellowstuff pad performance while retaining an OE-style front disc.

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 an MX-5 Sport for more demanding fast-road driving
• Replacing pads and discs together as a matched EBC package
• Refreshing the larger factory Sport-specification front brake system

Fitment Advice:

PD03KF694 is specifically intended for the larger 269/270mm vented front brake arrangement with Sumitomo calipers used on compatible MX-5 NB 1.8 Sport and Sport LSD applications.

This kit should not be confused with EBC kits for standard NB models using the smaller 254mm front brake disc. If the vehicle's braking specification is uncertain, measuring the existing front disc is recommended before ordering.

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 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.
