A friend had a Cadillac ATS-V and putting EBC pads on it was a whole different thing, even on the Brembo 6 pot calipers.
Pros: significant improvement
EBC is known as the Exploding Brake Company and they still live up to that name...
Cons: poor reliability
The OE Brembo pads are "okay" and the EBC Blue Stuff will give you better bite though they're still dusty. I went with 2-piece rotors and Endless MX72+ pads.
Pros: better bite (EBC)
Cons: dusty (EBC), okay (Brembo)
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
My suggestions : Oil cooler, change break pads with ceramics (EBC redstuff), gallery gasket, replace half the exhaust line (the genuine rear silencer is a crime and heavy), rear tyres 285/35R19. Those things will make the car better, more reliable, safer (this car is 1.6t dry, you could be surprised with default brake attack) and widespread among Z lovers.
Pros: car better, more reliable
Cons: default brake attack

Now I’m a much happier camper with my EBC Yellowstuff’s.
Pros: much happier camper

EBC greenstuff pads have always been the best option for my style of driving. They don't fade like oem pads
Pros: best option, no fade
Vehicle:

The EBC FA606HH are a good upgrade. Great feel and initial bite.
Pros: Great feel, initial bite
Part number: FA606HH
I upgraded to a two piece rotor (kit reused the stock caliper, I put EBC green pads in) and never had fade problems again.
Pros: no more fade problems
Slap some EBC RedStuff or YellowStuff Pads on & you'll change your mind quickly.
