on my old brz with PP Brembos i really liked the endless super street type S pads. there are even better pads by endless depending on your application, like the MX series someone else mentioned. I only dailied my car and did a couple hard backroads drives a month maybe. but it felt great any time, and even more when the pads were up to temp.
My favorite is still the endless mx72/mx72plus, not the most aggressive pad out there but they warm up extremely quick and for street cars the added bonus of surprisingly small amount of brake dust
Those are what are known as track day pads. I use them a lot for autocross I'll use them for track sprints, I use them in the rear for full track days. This is on a Mustang with the six piston brembos in the front and the standard single piston calipers in the back.
EBC RP1 is a great pad up there with Hawk DTC. they tend to wear quicker but are softer on rotors.
I am running SR11 right now and pretty impressed. Big bite, virtually no need to bed. Its not quite, no good track pad is but its also not that bad compared to other pads I have had.
I run rp1 on street they work great no squeaking. Good on track too.
I think the Fiesta actually has great brakes, even for its size. The only reason I would upgrade is to fight brake fade. That means new pads, fluid, hoses, and potentially a BBK (for heat dissipation ONLY, at the cost of more unsprung mass). The previous owner beat the brakes to an inch of their life so I swapped out new EBC Yellowstuff pads and EBC slotted discs, along with Motul RBF600 brake fluid. Braided hoses are in the garage waiting to go on at the next service. All in all a nicely sorted setup.
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 recently purchased EBC BSD rotors and EBC RedStuff. The front rotors ended up with an unknown lead time, so the rep reached out and suggested DBA 4000 T3s. I dropped the car off at the dealership as they'd agreed to cover the labor under warranty. I stopped by yesterday and was told they were having some issues with the install and that the pads didn't come with hardware... the tech was already left for the day I swung by again today. I was told that the holes in the pads were slightly larger than the pins, which allows for the pads to shift up and down. I took it home and confirmed everything is good in one direction, but when I pop it in reverse and hit the brakes, I hear a metal to metal click as the pads shift up and hit the caliper. The same is true when I put it back in drive and hit the brakes.
I have ran EBC before and they were meh even on my 120hp Miata.
