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 run hawk 5.0 pads (i used to use ebc yellow but theres been reports of ebc pads delaminating so i stopped using ebc)
I use the centric premium coated blanks & change rotors every time I change pads.
For fluid I use ate200
I swapped out the hoses for braided ss hoses.
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 currently use Hawk DTC60’s on my Scion FRS with Motul RBF600 fluid for track days. The brakes feel great to me, I like the bite, and they don’t fade even on multi day events.
I did dot 4 fluid, braided lines, new solid rotors, and EBC yellows and couldn’t be happier. Brake fade was VERY much improved.
I've used EBC Yellowstuff and Intima race/track pads for the i30N from Australia...both were fine, but I liked the factory Hyundai pads better.
EBC red. Yellow likes to squeal loudly if it isnt warm.
That's normal for those. I have been through 3 or 4 sets now and to be honest, I think I'm done. After COVID they just seem to be very unpredictable. I've my last set did some weird stuff sometimes and my current set feels like it needs way more temp then it should. When I did a track day and put dtc60s on it, they gripped immediately on a cold stop where the HP+ felt like it needed some use. None of the other pairs have felt that way. The noise is also totally random now, the first couple sets would be loud unless they had heat, but the new ones are a lot quieter and sometimes loud.
I used these for a track day and the dust melted/hardened onto my wheels and spent days scrubbing with different wheel cleaners and chiseling it off.
