Brake pads EBC or Akebono
I installed EBC Red pads about 2 weeks ago. I don't have any squeaking problems, pedal is super stiff and grabs incredibly fast. The dust is really low in comparison to the stock pads. At this point my white wheels would be covered in black. The dust on there now is acceptable in my opinion. I know others don't like the EBC brakes. So far, I'm very happy with them. Hope this helps you.
I got the EBC Red brake pads installed front and rear. I ever so slightly cleaned the wheels the same day they were installed. So far so good. I haven't noticed any large amounts of brake dust. Stopping is great. Brake pedal is more touchy now. Overall I'm very happy with them!
If you hate brake dust but want reliable braking power, Akebono pads are a good choice.
Found EBC Yellow stuffs for the TTRS calipers for $140 (I've found EBC yellow stuffs a good compromise semi-squeal daily drive and decent on the track)
EPC light on usually is coils or spark. find misfire plug and then move to another and see if it moves if it moves then its coil if not replace spark plugs and try again.
Well I feel that Akebono was a nice balance in feel and no dust (it drove me nut).
Installed the EBC redstuff over the weekend, wow i love these brake pads, much better bite than OEM pads, and no noise. Not sure about the dust yet, car is dirty, but bite is amazing, im super satisfied
EBC yellowstuff pads ( for track days)
I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).
The negatives with EBC Yellow stuff is that they produce a HUGE amount of dust, and eat through rotors quickly. I had them on my wifes CX-9 with a set of their drilled and slotted rotors, they were horrible! The rotors had a vibration at anything over 45mph, and the dust they created was ridiculous.
