I used the HH pads for several years on my GSXR600. Eventually I started cooking the HH pads as my pace came up. I would get some hot spotting on the rotors where the pad material was melting and leaving itself on the rotor unevenly. When this happens your rotors will need to be media blasted or replaced to get them smooth again. A lot of it depends on your style and pace, but for the peace of mind I would recommend going for the better pads. They have a very similar feel but the EPFA is a little more consistent with less fade.

Pros: consistent, less fade

Cons: hot spotting, rotor damage

If I have to stand on the brakes they certainly STOP better than the OEM brakes. It's a very good improvement in brake feel as well. The car stops straight now instead of wondering a bit side to side.

Pros: STOP better than OEM

EBC Red. I put them on my GTI and liked the low dust but loved the feel of the brakes. I thought the stock pads came on quite strong, but didn't get that much stronger as I pushed harder on the pedal. The reds are very linear without any hint of initial grabbiness.

Pros: low dust, loved the feel

Cons: not much stronger

I switched to EBC redstuff ceramic from my OEM pads on my MX-5. They are marketed as slightly higher performance than OEM with much improved wear and dust levels. In my experience they are maybe slightly more grabby initially, otherwise they perform similarly to OEM, but their claims about dust levels were not true at all in my case, they dusted FAR more than OEM. I get noticeable dust after a few days compared to maybe a few weeks before.

Pros: slightly more grabby

Cons: dusts far more than OEM

I installed EBC Redstuff pads on stock rotors... Well pretty happy with that so far. I just finished the break-in period. Better initial bite than OEM TRW pads. And little more braking power overall.

Pros: better initial bite, braking power

Cons: lots of dust

Mileage: 6000 km

I've been running EBC Redstuff for 5+ years now, and while I haven't looked at the pad clips in over a year I don't recall them being any different than OEM. Performance has been good, and they're less dusty than the original pads.

Pros: good performance, less dusty

Cons: pad clips not recalled

Yellowstuff lastet one track day (6 sessions of 30min) and maybe 200 miles to get to the track. It went metal to metal about 5 minutes before end of day. I liked the bite they had and I had absolutely no fading

Pros: good bite, no fading

Cons: short life

Mileage: 200 km

Went to a track day over the weekend to realize my EBC Yellow Stuff front brake pads were dangerously low - after only 1 previous track day 6 months ago and about 5000 highway miles between.

Cons: short life

Mileage: 5000 km
