Brake pads EBC or Ferodo
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.
Go with ebc yellowstuff. If you like to drive a little hard. Changing the brakes on these cars is very easy by the way.
Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.
Saved thousands and now have EBC breaks and rotors with red stuff , better performance way less money and installed from a highly recommended local shop!
What's the current pad thickness? I'm about to install EBC Yellowstuff pads and new rotors on my Allroad. I've had Redstuff pads on lots of previous cars and found it was a great compound for low dust and better braking performance over the factory semi-metallic pads. I mostly use Yellowstuff nowadays simply because I like the way they brake (sharp bite, no fade on the street). But they are super dusty.
I did the brakes and rotors myself for $300. Ebc brakes all day.
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.
Ferodo DS2500 feel good but don't last as long as the CP's and have a bit more dust.
I ordered ebc pads for the front and they got here and they're way too small.
The EBC blues are not track pads... Despite how they market them. Once they cool from behind very hot they glaze over...
