EBC Blues or Ferodo DS2500s are the minimum baseline for what I'd put on the track. They can both handle novice/intermediate pace without being absolute shrieking banshees on the street. Lot of dust though, and they likely won't hold up to more than 4-5 track days. But very streetable.
I've had them for 30k km and they're great. Perfect for spirited driving / autocross and I've only ever had brake dust squeal once and for a very short time.
My EBC reds say to use pads easy for 200 miles. Then do 4-5 hard stops from 50 mph
Others like EBC have specific procedures for heating and cooling the brakes to make them to the surface.
I put some EBC Yellow pads on for a track day and have been enjoying them on the street since.
EBC Yellowstuff and Cquence rotors. Top notch stopping power.
I ran the EBC BlueStuff NDX. They are a great track pad but also didn’t feel like a track pad when driving on the street. They have decent cold bite and we’re very quiet for me.
I’ve got ebc red stuff pads on my non performance GTI and they are ok. I probably will get something different next time around. They do dust a bit, probably the same as oem.
I tried them on the track years ago. Junk!
People on the internet always talk trash about ebc yellow, and I assumed it was just internet trash talk. This post is 100% accurate though, they absolutely disappeared on the track.
