Had the ebc yellow stuff excellent pad but the squealing for daily use was unbearable so changed back to OEM.
Pros: excellent pad
Cons: squealing for daily use

EBC pads, OE quality Zimmerman rotors and a brake flush with the proper fluid is all you need.
Pros: OE quality
Vehicle:

been looking at yellow stuff, as what I hear to be a great pad, and is more affordable than I imagined it would be.
Pros: great pad, affordable
Vehicle:

I recently installed EBC redstuff with new rotors. Did the bed in procedure and worked great for first 300 miles or so. Today, I noticed a really loud squeaking noise coming from one of my wheels. Noise starts after brakes are warmed up, and increases when turning the wheel. Goes away when I apply the brakes. Think my pads might be glazed after some sprites driving, but not like I’ve done anything crazy.
Pros: worked great initially
Cons: loud squeaking noise
Mileage: 300 km
I’ve got ebc red stuff pads on my non performance GTI and they are ok. I probably will get something different next time around. They do dust a bit, probably the same as oem.
Pros: fine for street use
Cons: dusts a bit

Volkswagen
I’ve dailied Redstuffs for 4 years now with no problem. They bite well, they don’t squeal, and they don’t make much dust.
Pros: good bite, quiet, low dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
No complaints about excessive dust, noise, or harshness - great pad upgrade with no glaring downside IMO.
Pros: no noise, no dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I’ve driven roughly 150 miles and I’ve done EBC’s suggested bed in process. But they’re still squealing when I’m coasting from 0-40mph. The squealing sounds like the wear indicator rubbing on the rotor, but they’re brand new and nowhere close to the rotor. Do they take longer to bed in? The squealing is really high pitched and annoying
Cons: high pitched squealing
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 150 km
I tried them on the track years ago. Junk!
Cons: junk
People on the internet always talk trash about ebc yellow, and I assumed it was just internet trash talk. This post is 100% accurate though, they absolutely disappeared on the track.
Cons: disappeared on track
