I've got a 2022 Sport Prestiege 3.3T AWD with Brembos and was dealing with the rotor vibrations early on. Dealership swapped out under warranty, but you and I have similar driving styles so the vibrations were back in under 5k miles... After a ton of research I decided to purchase EBC BSD rotors and EBC RedStuff. Rotors were out of stock with no lead time so sales rep hooked me up with DBA rotors. Had some issues with the front pads clicking, but EBC gave me a new set under warranty and I love them! I'll echo what all reviews say about dusting though.... even the RedStuff dusts a lot; I'd honestly say there's a bronze dusting over my black wheels most of the time, but my car exterior is normally dirty anyway ????
I love the EBC RP-X, fantastic pads. I use those up front and the Bluestuff NDX compound out back. Great HPDE setup on my ~400hp/3350 pound station wagon.
I have them on a 1600lb race car, so maybe not comparable to a Camaro that weighs twice as much. They're almost too much braking for me, but I kinda prefer it that way. I can lock the slicks at 100mph without fully standing on the pedal. But they're also very easy to modulate. They don't need to be bedded in like normal pads; you just stab them a few times. They don't fade. I've only had them for 1 season, but there's hardly any wear. It looks like they might last me 3 seasons, maybe more.
I've ran 2 seasons in a 3300lb Golf R with SR21 fronts and SR11 rears and they've been insane, in my humble opinion. One front set lasted 10+ events, with street miles in-between, and the rears are still the same originals I slapped in 2 years ago. Zero fade, crazy long life, and no chunking/glazing/side effects I can think of. Ran DTCs in the past, and I'd snag these in a heartbeat over any other pad I've used or seen firsthand. The only complaints I have is they bite HARD. Since these work from ambient they will throw you through the dash in the paddock if you aren't careful ???? The plus to that is no real warm-up laps needed. Sintered also stands up to heat extremely well since there is no resin to break-down, which means I can run titanium shims without it baking the pads. Outside that, they throw off some weird non-ferrous silvery dust. Nothing like most race pads where it'll cake everything in the wheel well. It's almost like a bit of gravel dust after every event. Then the price, depending on your pad shape. They're a little under $100 more than most pads in my case, but the life of them more than makes up for it.
I used EBC blue stuff on my BRZ with factory brembos, and replaced the pads using FCP euro lifetime warranty. EBC blues would hold up for multiple track days with stock power on 200TW tires, and I didn’t experience fade at my skill level, usually intermediate at HDPE days.
I have a dedicated track car but I use it to have fun. Therefore, I'm going to test out EBC Bluestuff NDX pads to start this season. I've also used PowerStop Track Day pads and they felt great.
I did dot 4 fluid, braided lines, new solid rotors, and EBC yellows and couldn’t be happier. Brake fade was VERY much improved.
Those look to be EBC "greenstuff" brake pads. "For spirited street use on lighter sports sedans and hot hatches, Greenstuff 2000 series is a perfect choice." They are made more for performance than driveability, they aee not really meant for your average daily driver. They are not bad pads, but they are intended more for the weekend racer. The pads will be noisy and harder on the rotors than regular pads. EBC also offers a red pad that is even more aggressive and intended strictly for track use.
I have personally ran these rotors with EBC HH pads. I blued them on my first track day and swapped to used OEMs before the next. They felt fine as far as bite but the immediate bluing shows they’re not up to any amount of real heat. If I ran them for a track day or two more they surely would’ve faded badly and warped. I don’t recommend them.
I'm going to shit on EBC HH. They're popular, easy to get, and somewhat better than OEM. But they suck ass. Every time I need more brake power they fade. Every time I want the brakes to bite they just shrug and I feel like I need to clamp down. Progressive riding? Sure. Emergency braking? Hell naw. Need to cut speed for sharp corners? Good luck. So I've switched to Vesrah and never looked back.
