Brake pads EBC or DBA
I've been daily driving my SR11 for a year, and almost 10k miles in my Type R. Never had these issues, not even close. As someone else said, I have immediate bite even in zero degree temps. Have tracked them a few times with no issues either. I bought another set for when these eventually wear out, although that is taking a while.
EBC Ultimax brakes, from PerfectBrakes.com - low dust, fantastic performance. My cruise control took a while to get used to the new brake pads.
I did a pad swap at 6k with EBC Yellow pads and it made a significant difference.
Ebc redstuff pads and dba rotors are what I run and I love it. The pads do squeak a little sometimes but only if you’re real soft on the brakes
I'm running DBA Street Performance pads. Low dust and performance seems fine. I'd buy again.
For Autox - why not Yellowstuff. They are a great street/autoX pad in my experience. Reds are horrible to me/not worth buying. Also Ferodo DS2500 is a good all-arounder.
Red stuff I find amazing at auto Crossing + daily driving. Low dust, no noise a great street performance pad. Absolutely not meant for track use.
I have run the EBC RP-1s and currently am on the RP-X. The 1s were fine/no issues I just didnt like the lower Mu (less bite). These are a 1400+ deg F pad. I used them on street between track events without issue.
I legit just installed the same pads and rotors and the squealing is driving me nuts. It’s only from my passenger side and happens sporadically under light breaking. Everything I have read says it will go away. However I’m at about 400km and it’s still there.
I got about 500 miles on new EBC red pads and EBC rotors. They made so much noise when I first installed them, now only the driver side is still making a squeal on occasion. I assume the passenger side bedded and the driver side is close behind. My main question is for anyone who has these pads, do they ever chill out on brake dust? I can only assume they are not fully bedded in yet but holy god they dust like crazy. I can honestly say this whole experience has been terrible and EBC customer service is non-existent.
