Brake pads EBC or Centric
I have ebc yellow in my c5 and very much prefer them over the hawk street 5.0 I had before. No issues with fade at any point.
I ran EBC yellows at PittRace on my Golf R and they held up fine.
EBC yellows are completely fine. I used them when I tracked my Gen coupe and never had an issue. Dusty as shit, but I liked em for the track.
I drove pretty damn hard all 3 sessions in the novice group passing all kind of faster cars that I didn’t expect to. I had minimal brake fade and a light pulsation developing later in the session after long straights but never came close to an “oh shit” moment. I was pleasantly surprised the next day when I inspected the brakes and found the pads around 2/32nds and the rotors well above minimum spec. I expected to go metal to metal before the end of the day.
I replaced all 4 sets of pads on mine with Centric ceramic pads from rockauto. They are quiet and set brake dust. They have excellent grip on the new rotors.
Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows.
I've been happy with my EBC pads
I am currently running EBC Yellowstuffs that i installed last winter and i have now gone 10k km and they have 2-3mm of pad left on the front. I really really like their performance and don’t really mind the wear.
I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?
I had yellow stuff on my 7.5R, performed well on the street but it fall apart when I took the car on track. They seem not really coping with high heat senarios, bite significantly dropped towards the end of a 20 minutes session, and the pads is installed on AP Racing 8520 caliper with 380mm disc, never go back to EBC afterwards
