P.S. I run more aggressive and dusty brake pads - EBC Yellow Stuff
Since most pads won't even get that close to the edge, i wouldn't have thought twice about mounting it. Sure, i would check if it IS touching, but i really doubt it.
Front brakes and tyres you can replace if you feel they are not adequate. I replaced Tyre to protorq extreme and front pad to ebc fa209hh
Because I track my car, I have performance street pads and track pads. EBC yellow for street and RP-1 if I'm running an event + dot4
I used EBC Redstuff pads, absolutely love them.
If I was set on EBC pads, I’d get the green stuff as they give the best feel, don’t suffer from long run in times and squeal when cold and wet.
I tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.
They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.
I currently have EBC Blues on my BBK and they are pretty quiet and way better than the yellows, for sprinted driving or mountain carving I def recommend the blues over the yellows. Yellows were also obnoxiously annoying. Only downside is they eat through rotors pretty quickly, and the brake dust can be pretty corrosive and damage the finish on your wheels.
don't do the Yellowstuff unless you are on board with a LOT of brake dust.
EBC yellows are a bit too aggressive for most people for street driving. They typically make alot of noise when they’re cold.
