Ebc yellow stuff pads are pretty nice. Got em on my NB. Wouldn’t hurt to replace your pads with those. Break in process asks for new rotors but you can probably get away without em if you really don’t wanna do it, I did.
I’ve had these Jurid pads on my 2019 S for about four months now and they’ve been great so far.
I put ultimax on my 3, and I can stop on a dime.
For what it's worth, I had the shudder too, it was pad deposits on the rotors. New EBC pads, some hard braking, and it went away.
I just put red stuff on my Stinger GT2 and love them . I also put geo series drilled and slotted rotors. What I will share with you is I had to pull the metal plates off my break pads so that they could fit but other than that their great.
I've been daily driving my SR11 for a year, and almost 10k miles in my Type R. Never had these issues, not even close. As someone else said, I have immediate bite even in zero degree temps. Have tracked them a few times with no issues either. I bought another set for when these eventually wear out, although that is taking a while.
EBC Ultimax brakes, from PerfectBrakes.com - low dust, fantastic performance. My cruise control took a while to get used to the new brake pads.
Have had EBC Red stuff, Yellow stuff and Blue stuff. My impressions of them are below:
Red stuff - slightly better initial bite than an OEM pad, the same goes for performance at higher temps, however on track they didn’t last more than a couple of laps. Certainly more of a daily/fast road pad.
Yellow stuff - initial bite ever so slightly lesser than the red stuff, probably inline with OEM. However they put up with more abuse at higher temps and rarely gave much brake fade. Bit dustier, would say fast road/occasional track pad.
Blue stuff - initial bite worse than OEM, after a few hard stomps you can feel them waking up. Stand up to track abuse very well. After multiple fast laps on track, I felt it was the discs that were getting too hot, so these pads highlighted I needed brake cooling to keep going. Squeak at low speeds, dusty.
To answer your question, imo there isn’t a situation where blues are more ‘streetable’ than reds, I’d swap them out for reds and if you can, keep blues for the track ????
HTH
I used to destroy ebc pads in my 2002 WRX at leguna Seca.
I’ve used EBC on my previous TTs, lasted 3/4 of day at Limerock
