Brake pads EBC or Carbotech
I’ve run ebc red stuffs on autocross and spirited mountain cruises. They held up great, never over heated, and kept less dust. Key being LESS, not none. However, this was on a 200hp mini so I can’t speak to how they’ll hold up on higher power applications. Bedding them in properly goes a long way towards long life. I put about 6 autox, 15k mi, and 2 track days on a set and they were about 40% left.
I run EBC Red Stuffs for the street and i drive in the canyons "spiritedly" and love em.
I’m very happy with EBC pads (red stuff)and EBC slotted rotors
I'd do a stock replacement rotor (Zimm) and a pad with a bit more heat tolerance (not a track pad by any means) to deal with the trailer. Reds are fine street pads but will cave to heat somewhat easily.
I do like EBC Redstuff, no issues with initial bite in the winter time.
Voted EBC Redstuff for mostly street car. Reds produce notably less dust.
EBC Redstuff is really a great pad for this car. 10/10 would recommend
EBC Greenstuff with their slotted rotors have been my favorites so far. Tried Redstuff once but I didn't like them as much
Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.
I wouldn’t recommend EBC red stuff. They have been incredibly dusty, for me anyways.
