Brake pads EBC or OEM Chevrolet
I went with Genracer’s offering of EBC red stuff pads and EBC oe replacement rotors. The price was very reasonable and I don’t track the car, only do some spirited driving. So far I like them but LOVE the reduced brake dust.
Gen1 here but just put on ebc rotors and pads all around.. fit great/work great. Have used ebc for years no issues.
In the end I went for EBC yellowstuff, this kit specifically:
If you want better stopping power, you could use ebc pads.
Ebc Green Stuff Pads and Rotors
I installed the same pads, much better than the OEMs. If you want you also don't have to reinstall the pad clips. The thin brass looking things. Not installing them makes it easier to see your pads and how much meat you have left. Also makes changing pads much quicker. The negative is that you might hear your pads rattle a little at first. I haven't noticed after the first couple of days.
I’ve had these EBC blue stuff brake pads for 6k miles (2 track days) and they fronts are almost down to the metal. I expect them to go quick but this was a lot quicker than I had thought
I have run both 21 and 11 with an EBC bbk for mk5 Supra. The 21’s had way too much bite imo, the Mu is .65 which was the highest I had ever ran. I think they’d be great with slicks but I run street tires. ABS would trigger about 3/4 pedal travel, not fun. I switched to SR11 and was much happier. In terms of bite they felt much better on street tires. I can still get into ABS but I’d have to brake really hard which is where my muscle memory is anyways. Both pads were easier to modulate than what I came from(csg c21). I do enjoy the drastic reduction in bedding as well. I haven’t had issues with fading but I’m also running them with 15” rotors and have OEM cooling ducts so ymmv.
Hated my pair of Yellowstuff. Squeaked like no other. But I'm pretty sure mine were defective. I've been told they squeak but not ear piercing like mine were.
I had yellowstuffs on my e46 330i and they were gone within 3 days on track. Swapped to Pagid RSL1/29 (Front/Rear) after and never looked back
