Dust:

I tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.

They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.

Pros: marginally better than OE, okay for autocross

Cons: high dust production, not hard bite, not for track

Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

I currently have EBC Blues on my BBK and they are pretty quiet and way better than the yellows, for sprinted driving or mountain carving I def recommend the blues over the yellows. Yellows were also obnoxiously annoying. Only downside is they eat through rotors pretty quickly, and the brake dust can be pretty corrosive and damage the finish on your wheels.

Pros: pretty quiet, better than yellows, good for spirited driving

Cons: eat rotors quickly, corrosive brake dust

I've been using EBC pads for a while now with a couple brands in between and EBC just seems to have some of the best bang-for-buck.

My use-case is daily driving and spirited weekend drives, so I can't comment on more aggressive or track use. I know some folks really don't like them for serious track cars so be mindful of that.

Pros: best bang-for-buck, good for daily/spirited

Cons: not for serious track use

I've been using these on my '19 PP MT and have noticed a pretty good difference! However, I paired them with the EBC Redstuff pads.

Pros: pretty good difference

The rotors are amazing, I've been running them for 4 years now but those pads are absolute trash especially in the rain.

Pros: rotors are amazing

Cons: pads are trash

I've beat the crap out of EBC Yellow pads on my Ranger with a RTT and the back loaded full of stuff. They do have a lot of dust but they are heavy load rated I believe.

Pros: heavy load rated

Cons: a lot of dust

Vehicle: Ford Ranger
