Brake pads EBC or Hella Pagid
EBC redstuff. Very low dust. Similar feel to OEM pads but maybe slightly less initial bite.
Installed EBC Yellow Stuff pads for rear, kept original rotors, without even turning. 1000km later amazing so far.
Sometimes those alternatives work like K&N air filters or EBC brake pads for street use.
I use EBC Green Stuff. They are organic. More brake dust, but you really can feel the stopping power.
Ebc green stuff are great so far 200 miles
EBC Red Stuff I recently did my brakes and these are really quiet and durable and great stopping power and low dust.
I went with EBC Red stuff pads just waiting on rotors.
You will need brake cooling/ducts or will need to remove the dust shield to get more airflow (or both), went through a brand new set of rear Pagid RS29 endurance pads in less than a weekend in July when I first got the first F80 years ago. The heat did a number on them in the afternoons with ambient temps over 90 and all the 150ish to 40ish and 130ish to 30ish on the back and front straights respectively
I ordered Red stuff pads off of Amazon, with the car in my garage being a 2023 WRX, and the pads I got did not fit at all. In fact, the box said they were for a 2015/later Legacy.
Also not a fan of the yellowstuff pads, but views are mixed.
