Massive step up from the OEMs assuming proper break-in. Since the car is just a daily, I can testify for the EBC Red pads with stock rotors. Been a year now and I feel like you truly need nothing else than this combo for the streets. Noise is minimal after break in period
I went with akebono brake pads which leave a lot less dust than the OEM pads and wear slower.
I have been using this brand for ever. Perfect fit and quiet.
I track mine with ebc yellow and blanks. I just bought another set from them. They sell kits. A few hundred total front and rear. Use plenty of brake lube on the backing plates or the squealing will be insane! If just street use, red is plenty good.
I have EBC yellow stuf pads with thier sloted rotors and love them. If your not going to go as hard and don't like break dust ho with the red stuf pads.
I got the redstuff pads and the ebc rotors about 3 months ago and they stop so so hard. I cannot compare them to anything else I have driven. They make stopping hard feel comfortable. The only thing I will warn you of is the squeaking. It gets better after about 1k miles but it hasnt completely gone away for me.
EBC Red Stuff! I swapped to them and some of their slotted rotors last month. They’re awesome!
The EBC Reds I run have been super low dust for me.
I replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.
EBC yellow lasted on track day, garbage in my opinion, running Carbotech pads now, first pad that lasted a whole day at Limerock, no fade , good bite all day.
