I installed EBC Yellowstuff pads and at first they squeeled every stop. 5K miles later it diminished substantially.
I personally installed your first picture and love them. They have noticeably more “initial bite” when braking and just quicker braking overall. If I remember correctly the EBC Red make less dust than stock.
I have EBC reds with stop tech slotted and drilled rotors.
I’m a big fan of how my brakes feel after upgrading to the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, Bosch solid rotors (drilled/slotted do more harm than good), and some Goodrich Stainless Braided Brake lines.
I got EBC Yellow Stuff. Excellent performance. I haven’t experienced brake fade yet and I drive pretty damn spiritedly on my local backroads. The only con is there’s a shit ton of brake dust
Those look a lot like Ebc green pads with their special break in coating. Not cheap pads by any means
TBF it appears he tried to buy EBC Greenstuff which are great pads and got scammed by Amazon. The red paint is normally a friction enhancing paint to aid faster break in.
The initial bite is really, really good on the street, and the pads feel very good. I never had issues with overheating.
The life of the front pads, however, wasn't very impressive to me. I got about 8 months of daily driving (75% highway miles), 20-30 canyon runs (roughly 35 minutes each) + 2 trackdays (my 2nd and 3rd ever) out of them. I had to cut my 3rd trackday short because the wear sensor came on, and then within 10 minutes, the front pads were metal-metal with the rotor, and I went off into the dirt.
I tried yellow stuff a few years ago, absolutely shit.
Ditch EBC. Discs are OK. But pads are just pure viral marketing via forums etc. Played havoc with the ABS on my GC8 Subaru when I had them (ABS kicking in actually massively increased stopping distances).
