Voted EBC Redstuff for mostly street car. Reds produce notably less dust.
EBC Redstuff is really a great pad for this car. 10/10 would recommend
EBC Greenstuff with their slotted rotors have been my favorites so far. Tried Redstuff once but I didn't like them as much
EBC yellowstuff pads, it stops on a dime now.
I suggest you use EBC brake pads but that's just personal choice.
currently running ebc yellow stuff and dba slotted rotors (cuz street cred bro!). probably going to do the same with blank rotors next time around. no noise, stops great but gets pretty dusty. works perfect for a daily that gets driven hard with the occasional track day
I run EBC yellowstuff and Centric blank OE replacement rotors. Stops on a dime.
Many folks here telling you to run hawk HPS but I WOULD NOT if you’re dailying. EBC yellow stuff, in my experience, stop better, are less noisy, but do produce a bit more dust. I purchased hawk hps when I had to replace my previous set of yellow stuff. Drove on them about 500 miles (at most) and ended up taking them off. They’re sitting in my garage with 95% life left. As for rotors, I currently run EBC drilled and slotted rotors. Last time I ran the EBC OE replacement rotors and they worked well too. Lastly, you want a little more bite than stock but less dust and noise than the EBC yellow stuff or Hawk HPS then go for EBC red stuff. I’m not biased at all with EBC, I am just talking from my experience as I’ve owned both highly recommended pads. I would never buy another pair of Hawks again.
I did the Yellowstuff pads and ebc rotors on the back of my ‘17 RS. The one spring on the drivers side didn’t seat properly at first and squealed until I disassembled it and put it in properly.
Prior to a long roadtrip a few months back, I decided to swap a slightly more aggressive rotor/pad combo onto my car. Nothing crazy, just a bitier pad and more durable rotor. Having always been a Bosch/Brembo guy, I decided to try out EBC, as its apparently a pretty sporty setup to run. So no big deal, I order the set, I pop them on, I break them in, and I go on about my business --> or so I thought. I don't know if this is an EBC exclusive feature or what, but the brake dust is atrocious. This stuff sheds itself more than a housecat coughing up balls of hair. It was only about 750 miles into use that I started to experience horrendous vibrations from the actual pads and rotors depending on the temp of the brakes and how hard I'm pressing. Its not a 'traditional' warp, but rather most certainly just huge build-ups of pad sediment, as these vibrations are intermittent. Anyone else have experience with EBC's? I've done about 5K on them and they're honestly pretty sh*t in my time with them. Likely going to go back to Bosch. Here's images of the dust collection only about 100-200 miles after I cleaned them. Seriously, whats the deal?
