Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance
I am currently running EBC Yellowstuffs that i installed last winter and i have now gone 10k km and they have 2-3mm of pad left on the front. I really really like their performance and don’t really mind the wear.
I aswell have an evo 9 with the same tires and similar weight. I run hawk dtc 70s in the front and dtc 60s in the rear. If you do not mind swapping pads before the events I love these pads. They will make a lot of noise driving around town tho. I get about 8 to 10 days out of a set of front pads and about 2 to 3 seasons out of a set of rears.
I have hawk dtc-60. They are cheaper than most race pads, but not super long lasting. No problems with them on the street. They dust like crazy though and the you don't want to leave the dust on wheels you care about. Make sure you wash the wheels when you get home from track.
I have a Camaro SS 1LE (~3800 lbs w/me) and I basically run Hawk 60's on the street and track ( I don't drive on the street much). I also used Carbotech XP12's before. I don't get any brake fade with either one.
I emailed HAWK over two weeks ago. They thanked my for my contact and query, but haven't responded with a suggested product. I've been running their pads on my Mk6R and have been very pleased with the lack of brake dust and the bite of the braking.
HAWK Pads are top notch
Big fan of ebc, run red stuff pads on any of my vehicles that they are made for.
Brakes the pads are cheap enough with EBC yellow around 150$ am axle.
Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.
I’ve driven roughly 150 miles and I’ve done EBC’s suggested bed in process. But they’re still squealing when I’m coasting from 0-40mph. The squealing sounds like the wear indicator rubbing on the rotor, but they’re brand new and nowhere close to the rotor. Do they take longer to bed in? The squealing is really high pitched and annoying
