Those are very good EBC pads, they also don’t destroy rotors. I will warn you that a brake bedding is absolutely critical with those. They very much rely on the transfer layer for better stopping performance and to not destroy your rotors. Thankfully, usually within 2 to 3 laps they have enough heat in them that you’re able to get a good transfer layer going.
They last me at least 3 days on brake-heavy tracks.
New ceramic brembo brake pads all around. 10/25/2024
I switched to EBC Redstuff ceramics and am very happy. They’re quiet and the dust is light, and not brown. I think the performance is very comparable to OEM.
EBC redstuff. Very low dust. Similar feel to OEM pads but maybe slightly less initial bite.
Installed EBC Yellow Stuff pads for rear, kept original rotors, without even turning. 1000km later amazing so far.
Sometimes those alternatives work like K&N air filters or EBC brake pads for street use.
EBC red. Yellow likes to squeal loudly if it isnt warm.
Ditch EBC. Discs are OK. But pads are just pure viral marketing via forums etc. Played havoc with the ABS on my GC8 Subaru when I had them (ABS kicking in actually massively increased stopping distances).
Took the Swift for a spirited drive down the horseshoe pass today, by the bottom the brakes stank, pedal went soft and stopping power became dangerously weak. Drove it softly for a mile or so and they were back to normal and I could lock the wheels again.
