I am running SR11 right now and pretty impressed. Big bite, virtually no need to bed. Its not quite, no good track pad is but its also not that bad compared to other pads I have had.
I went from EBC to Carbotech. It’s a night and day difference. I’m running XP8, but my car is very light.
I run rp1 on street they work great no squeaking. Good on track too.
I think the Fiesta actually has great brakes, even for its size. The only reason I would upgrade is to fight brake fade. That means new pads, fluid, hoses, and potentially a BBK (for heat dissipation ONLY, at the cost of more unsprung mass). The previous owner beat the brakes to an inch of their life so I swapped out new EBC Yellowstuff pads and EBC slotted discs, along with Motul RBF600 brake fluid. Braided hoses are in the garage waiting to go on at the next service. All in all a nicely sorted setup.
EBC pads/rotors and motul fluid. I've spent entire weekends hooning Tail of the Dragon with this setup... zero complaints/concerns.
I HIGHLY recommend (if you can afford) getting the brembo bbk. I am running EBC Yellowstone pads and they add a very aggressive and satisfying initial bite as well.
I'm very happy with my ebc sr11 on my type r and so are several others on the forum. I daily and HPDE with them.
The pads work great, no fade for me at my skill level, even with a 40 minute session. Also work great on the street, with no noise or issues cold. However, I am using up about 70% of the pad in 2 hours of track driving. Particularly the rear pads, which are wearing noticeably quicker than the fronts.
I've had very bad experiences with EBC pads and yes they were genuine.
I ordered Red stuff pads off of Amazon, with the car in my garage being a 2023 WRX, and the pads I got did not fit at all. In fact, the box said they were for a 2015/later Legacy.
