I put EBC Red pads on my MINI and they have been great, the car stops better and I see no dust at all on the wheels.
Pros: stops better, no dust
Vehicle:
MINI
I've very much enjoyed my EBC green pads on my dailies, they do dust a bit but grab pretty nice and don't squeal. Never had a buildup that causes vibration.
Pros: grab pretty nice, don't squeal
Cons: dust a bit
I've run multiple sets (Green Stuff and Yellow Stuff) without issue. Yes, the yellows dust quite a bit but no more than most semi-metallic pads I've had. As far as vibrations go, my 2013 Abarth has Yellow Stuffs all around that feel great and just completed a track day last Monday without issue.
Pros: feel great, no issue
Cons: yellows dust quite a bit
Prior to a long roadtrip a few months back, I decided to swap a slightly more aggressive rotor/pad combo onto my car. Nothing crazy, just a bitier pad and more durable rotor. Having always been a Bosch/Brembo guy, I decided to try out EBC, as its apparently a pretty sporty setup to run. So no big deal, I order the set, I pop them on, I break them in, and I go on about my business --> or so I thought. I don't know if this is an EBC exclusive feature or what, but the brake dust is atrocious. This stuff sheds itself more than a housecat coughing up balls of hair. It was only about 750 miles into use that I started to experience horrendous vibrations from the actual pads and rotors depending on the temp of the brakes and how hard I'm pressing. Its not a 'traditional' warp, but rather most certainly just huge build-ups of pad sediment, as these vibrations are intermittent. Anyone else have experience with EBC's? I've done about 5K on them and they're honestly pretty sh*t in my time with them. Likely going to go back to Bosch. Here's images of the dust collection only about 100-200 miles after I cleaned them. Seriously, whats the deal?
Pros: more durable rotor, bitier pad
Cons: atrocious brake dust, horrendous vibrations, build-ups of pad sediment
Mileage: 5000 km
I changed out the stock pads for EBC reds in the first couple thousand miles, so I will see how that ratio works out.

312 upgrade. Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
So for approximately $300 I got much better components. Which are MUCH better than stock and improved feel and effectiveness. ECS Tuning cross drilled and slotted rotors(288mm) EBC Red Stuff
Pros: improved feel, effectiveness
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 11000 km
Closest were the EBC Yellows, but the fronts crumbled on a hot day at a fast track (VIR.)
Pros: close to daily/track
Cons: crumbled on track
I faded the yellows a few times (on track) and they were way dustier than HPS.
Cons: faded a few times
