Brake pads EBC or ATE
Have a look at EBC, their “red stuff” pads work really well on my car and were nowhere near that price.
I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.
No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.
EBC red is a great street and auto X pad. It’s not a trackpad. EBC Blue is entry-level track and well it technically can be used on the street. Its manners are pretty poor.
The Reds are designed for streets applications. They will be a much better pad on a daily driver that goes to auto cross or mountain roads.
EBC makes great pads and discs. Have them on my NB and they've been solid for like two or three years now after the Brembos warped themselves.
The EBC RP-1 pads seem to have good road manners.
I have the performance pack, went with OEM rotors and EBC red stuff pads.
I like the EBC SR11 but a little noisy at lower speeds & temps.
I personally had a terrible time with EBC brakes especially the yellow stuff. A month of daily driving and one track day had the pads so low they actually slipped out of the calipers while I was driving, customer support swore up and down I installed them wrong and it’s my fault. I put project mu hybrid pads on next and I’ve been out on 6 different tracks days and a year of driving and there is still 5mm of pad life left.
Had them on my m240i. Lasted one track day before they cracked.
