I’m rocking EBC RedStuff and I love them.
These are amazing pads - really big upgrade in stopping power. And as others mentioned, it’s per pair. So one of each. Tdotperformance is reliable, I use it specifically for pads and rotors for not just my vt but other cars I have worked on. Great service and vehicle confirmation.
The yellow stuff pads are also Canadian winter friend. They have similar biting power to the reds but better for cold bite. Only downfall with the yellows is brake dust is fairly high. My wheels get very dirty. High maintenance for cleanliness.
I have EBC slotted rotors and the green pads. Way better than stock. Will probably go with red when these wear down cause they claim to produce less dust.
I have about 45k miles on a set of EBC greenstuff and StopTech slotted rotors. I’m not hard on my brakes and my pad life is still good. Much lower dust than stock and roughly the same bite/engagement as stock. Maybe slightly more sensitive.
I just installed EBC Yellowstuff brake pads on my wife's 2021 Mazda3 turbo, made a huge difference.
I have EBC HH. Love them. Great grip and stopping power.
EBC yellow pads, Bosch ESi6 fluid, klmperformance steel braided lines. Maybe a slotted rotor to really eat the pads and get another few %. I did each mod one by one and didn’t notice much performance difference but just getting a new pad in there was huge. I rubbed partially through a line and swapped out to raysbestos pads and a rubber temporary line. Feels the same, still great, and on 285s. I don’t want to pay so much for ebc yellows but if you are towing shit then don’t skimp. Stock brakes sucked once I went to 265s. Before the 285s the truck would stop extremely well especially with a stiffer suspension (Bilstein 6112s with 700lb springs). I’ll go with slotted rotors next and a mid tier pad.
The Brembo pads from euro’s are basically fakes. They’re an extreamly basic pad no different to Mann etc. I run EBC yellow stuff in my scooby which is my daily and they’re shit hot once abit warned up. But they do give off a fuck load of brake dust.
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.
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.
