I like my EBC red stuff. A little dusty.
I'm on stock rotors and calipers and it's all I need. Making 330whp/330wtq and it stops just fine.Stronger initial bite which gives the feeling of stronger brakes. Definitely better than OEM. Zero squeak/squeal with good ceramic lube

I live in North Jersey, so a bit warmer than by you but I haven't had problems with ebc red stuff pads. I've had them since last December paired with dba 4000 t3 rotors. They do feel like they don't grip as hard on the very first use each day but other than that no issues. The car is a daily driver.
I just put Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors on my Volvo and they’re great.
It crossed my mind to get into a battle with the dealer over a wearing part given the mileage but I figured the best i had to hope for was replacement trash. I used high quality Zimmermann rotors and EBC red pads all around. I’m out $400ish yes but i know i have good stuff on now that will last. Brakes better now than it ever has.
I run EBC yellows year round with no issues or noise on street and track. I would recommend them, switching to stainless lines and chaining to RBF600 brake fluid.
I can wholeheartedly recommend you to try some performance pads. EBC Green Stuff, sporty street and track use, €150,- and Yellow Stuff, track use, €215,-. That last set is designed to stop heavy SUV'S.
I'm running EBC Yellows on my 15 WRX now, so similar in curb weight. Not great for a daily IMO. They squeal pretty bad and the dust build up is pretty significant. Have about 15K miles and 2 autocrosses on them and they perform great. Good bite when cold and even better if they get warmed up.
Closest were the EBC Yellows, but the fronts crumbled on a hot day at a fast track (VIR.)
