With EBC Yellowstuff Pads and Motul Fluid I was fade-free during multiple 25 minute sessions at my local 2.5 mile track. My front brake rotors read a temp of 650 degrees at the end of each session with ambient air temp of about 85 degrees.
Here's what I did at 30k miles as the originals had faded badly StopTech slotted rotor with EBC redstuff pad - I'm certain you'll get a thousand recommendations on better stuff. Love, love, love these brakes. Very little dust.
Seems like there would be room in the market for a slightly detuned S55 base model without the fancy seats, brakes and wheels for about $5-8k less like the M3/M4: M3/M4 Competition.
I went from OEM to ebc yellow stuff to combat brake fade on the track. I feel a bite difference on the road for sure. If you don’t mind a bit of squeak, the ebc brakes are good.
I really love driving it though, particularly the brakes and the handling.
I also upgraded brakes to Optimal brand e-cote rotors and EBC Red street/performance pads. A nice improvement in brake feel and the new rotors look better, but hardly necessary.
Calipers cleaned up with new EBC pads, as well as a complete fluid flush.
Just had Stoptech slotted front rotors, EBC ceramic brake pads and Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid installed on my 2016 GSW....BIG improvement at reasonable price....
I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).
The new clips that came with my red stuff pads is junk. They don\u2019t hold the pad in place for nothing.
