Brake pads EBC or Carbotech
The EBC product is self bedding, extremely low dust and have excellent modulation. I've run several sets.
I've beat the crap out of EBC Yellow pads on my Ranger with a RTT and the back loaded full of stuff. They do have a lot of dust but they are heavy load rated I believe.
I really like EBC Redstuff for sporty daily driving.
Been happy with EBC Bluestuff for dual purpose. Only did one control clinic event but wasn’t an issue, and not too loud on street and cold performance is fine.
I’m running Carbotech XP10 in my AP’s and the cold squeal is obnoxious. Once they’re really good and hot it goes away but it’s definitely just a trade off of good pads. Mine drag every so slightly when turning the wheel by hand but never enough I’ve been concerned about it. They still work very, very well.
EBC make some great pads and rotors
I've had great experiences with EBC Yellowstuff pads in prior vehicles. Super aggressive bite, will chew through rotors though so take that as it is. I like the current setup on my 23 Turbo, went oem front rotors and some Duralast Golds. Rear are DFC rotors and their 5000 series ceramics. Stops pretty nice, liking the feel but I also changed brake fluid at brake change, that may have helped.
I've been using my SR11s for nearly a year now for few trackdays and some street events. I'm getting tired of SR11s downhill usage more and more since it won't hold and lose brakes so I have to be really careful. Also it seems a bit inconsistent for daily usage/semi-fast touge style drives. Some days it's the best thing ever but somedays it feels like the brake pad is dead.
EBC yellowstuff are THE problem. they aren't good on the road, let alone on a racetrack! Get Hawk HP+s and you won't have that problem at all.
I used up a new set of EBC Blues in a single track day, 5 sessions of 20 mins each. They also caused a lot of heat spots on my front rotors.
