Came across these the other day in OZ, not cheap but bought a set of front and rear's as spare for my RRS1 as they are no longer available, unfortunately they don't have any RRS2 rear's.

Not sure on that one Andy, never had any problems with my RRS 1 and they have been fitted about 18 months or so, you would like to think that if EBC had problems with the pads breaking up, which In my view would be a major safety issue and would they not be obligated to do a safety re-call or something to that effect. I think I would take that with a pinch off salt until I had actualy seen something in writing from a reliable or creditable source.

Col, it appears they're no longer made for the RRS1 for the following reason (from their website):
2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

Interesting, guess they must have had some sort of issue, have to drop them a email and ask why and see what they have to say if anything, will post their response that is of course assuming they do respond.

That would explain why I could only get yellow stuff for mine recently. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

EBC do make SUV/Truck specific pads. They do a "Truck Yellowstuff" and an "Extra Duty Light truck, Jeep and SUV". No idea why they have a specific pad type. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

It gets a bit confusing, as they only list Yellow stuff, Green stuff and Ultimax for the L320 S/C. Green stuff seem to be the low dust ones.

Would you recommend EBC Yellow Stuff for a 2012 SC? My only experience with EBC was when I used their discs and Red Stuff on a Mk 1 3.2 TT. In the end we had to take them off due to the noise and go back to OE. There is no replacement for displacement - W O Bentley MY2013 5.0 Supercharged HSE L320 |

I was going to ask Chris the same question, EBC do appear to advertise a slightly heavier duty, low dust Greenstuff 7000 series specifically suited for 4x4/SUV's unfortunately the don't actualy list them for the Sport, which really doesn't help.

I have found them to be very good and work from cold without the need for a little warmth. I haven’t noticed any noise or squealing but I never really had that issue on OEM pads either. My local indi recommended them as he used them on his Brembo fitted 90 Defender off road racer. To be honest they’re probably overkill on my car but it is nice to know that when I need to deploy the anchors, I’m getting the best I can out of this tank. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Just to confuse thing even more going to try these "Orangestuff" one's, not road legal in the EU, but are in the States and this part of the World, mind you I guess the UK's not in the EU anymore.

Maybe that’s why they don’t sell them anymore. I’ve got yellow stuff on mine and they would stop an artic. The only down side is that they do chow down on the disc quickly. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
