The stock Chrysler 300M Special brakes are barely adequate for the capabilities of this vehicle. Using the EBC Yellowstuff pads front and rear in conjunction with drilled and slotted rotors brought the braking performance up dramatically. The braking distribution system works efficiently, and has good feedback for an ABS equipped vehicle. Yellowstuff pads transformed the braking system capabilities instantly and now is balanced with the powertrain. To me, it is an active safety measure that was needed for this vehicle and has been elegantly addressed by EBC.
