Brake pads EBC or Ferodo
I use EBC yellow and really enjoyed them. I found I wasn't able to get the pads to bed properly on a used rotor and had much better luck with a fresh rotor from EBC with my yellowstuff.
Pads: I like EBC Redstuff.
Noticeable braking distance reduction, but they do produce more dust than stock.
Pad compound and lever setting make a big difference. Fully sintered pads were a complete night and day difference on both my bikes. Easily twice the bite over stock (brand new OEM pads) the rotors are still good to go after 6 months. You can't run a sintered rear without a sintered front but you can go the other way (ebc instructions). I would order up a set of sintered hh front pads and I bet it makes a huge difference. Stock pads are set up for a quiet, linear, long lasting and user friendly compound.
I've had success with the EBC yellownbrake pads for DD and track duties.
I am very happy with Ferodo's DS2500 pads. I also prefer not to swap pads and just run one set that works for both street and track. I participate in autoX and HPDE events - mostly the latter this year. The Ferodo pads have great initial bite when cold, perform well when hot, and seem to be easy on rotors
Just installed EBC yellow stuff pads, front only, for an upcoming track day and they are dead silent just like the stock pads were. Couldn't be happier with them-- so far....
Last year I replaced my front pads with EBC greenstuff. The initial break in period performance was amazing. Now they're a little better than stock with added brake dust.
I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).
I wouldn't; it could throw off braking performance ... like now your rear pads bite harder than your front. Plus your front do most of the work.
