Vehicle Fitment
- 2014–2023 Maserati Ghibli (3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 330hp, RWD) — Front
- 2014–2023 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 (3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 404hp, AWD) — Front
- 2014–2023 Maserati Quattroporte (3.0L Twin-Turbo V6, RWD/AWD) — Front, with 345mm front rotor
- 2014–2023 Maserati Quattroporte S / S Q4 (3.8L Twin-Turbo V8, RWD/AWD) — Front, with 345mm front rotor
Fitment Notes
- Front axle fitment only — fits vehicles equipped with 345mm front rotors
- Ghibli fitment applies to the 330hp base V6 variant and the 404hp S Q4 AWD variant — verify your rotor diameter (345mm) before ordering
- Does not fit Ghibli Trofeo (3.8L V8) or Quattroporte GTS variants — these use larger Brembo caliper setups with different pad shapes
- Do not fit upgrade pads to the rear unless the same upgrade grade is also fitted to the front
Features
- Aramid fiber compound with high friction from cold — no warm-up required for street use
- Stable friction coefficient of 0.48μ up to 450°C — gets progressively stronger under heat
- Red Brake-In surface coating conditions the rotor face and accelerates bed-in after install
- Fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted for smooth, noise-free operation
- Zero brake fade under repeated heavy braking — ideal for the performance demands of Maserati platforms
- Minimal rotor wear characteristics — compatible with OE vented disc surfaces
- Copper-free 2021+ reformulation — environmentally compliant
- ECE R90 approved for street use

Product Description
The EBC DP41540R Yellowstuff front brake pads are a direct-fit high-friction upgrade for the 2014–2023 Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte, covering both V6 and V8 variants equipped with the 345mm front brake setup. These pads deliver EBC's flagship street-level friction compound — strong cold bite from the first pedal press with progressively increasing grip as operating temperatures rise. For heavy, powerful Italian luxury sedans that demand consistent, fade-free braking in spirited driving conditions, Yellowstuff provides a meaningful improvement over OEM pads without compromising daily drivability.
These pads are not a low-dust compound — synthetic dust produced is moderate but easily washed from wheels without staining. The red Brake-In surface coating shortens bed-in by conditioning the rotor face immediately after installation, with full performance typically reached within 100–200 miles of urban driving. Always verify your vehicle is equipped with the 345mm front rotor before ordering, and ensure a matching upgrade is fitted to the front axle before installing to the rear.
