Brake pads EBC or Bendix
I put on EBC redstuff and they work well.
But the EBC SR11 and SR21 pads have been a game changer for us with regard to wear rate. We run these on our endurance race car and so far they have blown everything else we have tried out of the water. We just started using these so my experience is limited. But we just ran an 8 hour enduro at the ridge and used 1.5mm of front brake pad. This length of enduro at this track would usually consume an entire set of front pads down to damn near the backing plates. This is on a fox body mustang that’s 2600lbs and makes 330whp.
EBC blue on stock rotors, and stock suspension for 2 seasons so far... The pads are done, but I think I'll be getting the EBC blue again
I use EBC red stuff Front and rear. Better than OE performance, with less brake dust.
I upgraded to ebh yellows from stock, they are affordable, huge braking improvement in pedal feel, if your in a cold climate id avoid ceramics.
I changed over to ebc yellows for a track day and still have them on 1.5 years later.. LOTS of brake dust but the stopping power is night and day.
On the surface this looks fine, but w203s don't have fancy brakes. Bendix's for these are only $50-90. So they've hidden a lot of labour in that "pad" price. then they've charged you half an hour to change the discs as well. if the calipers are off the discs take about 1 minute each to change. Then did the discs really need changing? these are basic brakes. you can go 2 for 1 on discs to pads on these no problems. it may be they did need doing, but it may be they didn't. So, I'd say, it's not a rip off, compared to say a Stealer, but there is still a bit of fluff in this.
EBC yellow is really more of a daily driver pad than a track pad. I have them on my Golf R and they faded easily on the track. Great on the street though
Don’t get those pads, they squeak constantly.
Installed EBC SG two piece racing rotors and EBC RP1 pads on my M2 about three weeks ago. My rotors currently look like this (photos attached) after a recent track day - brakes felt like they were grinding while on track.
