Strange but the EBC blue stuff pads had a bad flutter but when I switched to G-Loc pads it completely went away. So bizarre

I HIGHLY recommend (if you can afford) getting the brembo bbk. I am running EBC Yellowstone pads and they add a very aggressive and satisfying initial bite as well.
I'm very happy with my ebc sr11 on my type r and so are several others on the forum. I daily and HPDE with them.
EBC OE Blanks w/ Red Stuff. Low dust and great bite.
Just here to say I have them also, and they did quiet down. Remember these are a step up in the performance pad world so there are going to be trade-offs. They actually wish I had gone with a more aggressive pad but considering it's 99% street driving they are pretty great
Have you done some seriously hard braking to properly seat them? Go from like 60mph and hard brake down to 20 or a stop. Not so hard to activate the abs or lock em up, but hard hard. Do this a few times to help bed them in better. I have ebc reds and it seems like the dust does chill a little over time. They still have a heavy bite that not everyone appreciates when coming to the end of a stop. I kinda like it tho. Let’s me know they mean business. Would buy again.
I legit just installed the same pads and rotors and the squealing is driving me nuts. It’s only from my passenger side and happens sporadically under light breaking. Everything I have read says it will go away. However I’m at about 400km and it’s still there.
I got their slotted rotors and red stuff pads. Installed them myself but had a strange kind of raspy grinding sound when braking. Figured it was just them breaking in. After a few days of this I decided to take the wheels back off and take a look. Turns out I had installed all 4 caliper clips backwards. Switching them around fixed the issue. Braking was pretty aggressive for the first week or two then smoothed out which they mention on the product page. Now it's quiet and smooth although more aggressive bite in then the oem pads, especially when cold.
I got about 500 miles on new EBC red pads and EBC rotors. They made so much noise when I first installed them, now only the driver side is still making a squeal on occasion. I assume the passenger side bedded and the driver side is close behind. My main question is for anyone who has these pads, do they ever chill out on brake dust? I can only assume they are not fully bedded in yet but holy god they dust like crazy. I can honestly say this whole experience has been terrible and EBC customer service is non-existent.
EBC pads and rotors are good for normal or amateur competition use. As any other, just needs good bed in procedure. Their rotors are not drilled, which is great for normal street cars.
