brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)
I run the dimpled and slotted versions along with EBC yellow pads and they grab WAY better than stock in every comparable way. The initial bite on the pads when cold and hot is significantly better and they resist heat much longer too.
Running EBC Yellow's at the moment.
I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.
I'm currently running EBC yellows which have done me well for daily use(if you don't mind the dust), Autobahn driving, and on Spa and the Nurburgring.
EBC Blue Stuff on stock rotors for me. Zero regrets. Everything I own gets EBC blue stuff from now on. Incredible grip. Very low dust that rinses away. I didn\u2019t know brakes could be like this and I\u2019ve driven hundreds of thousands of miles on all sorts of brakes. I am not tracking them, but my everyday drives bear some similarities.
I tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.
They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.
I currently have EBC Blues on my BBK and they are pretty quiet and way better than the yellows, for sprinted driving or mountain carving I def recommend the blues over the yellows. Yellows were also obnoxiously annoying. Only downside is they eat through rotors pretty quickly, and the brake dust can be pretty corrosive and damage the finish on your wheels.
EBC yellows are a bit too aggressive for most people for street driving. They typically make alot of noise when they’re cold.
I burned through a set of EBC brakes, they dont last long and they have a lot more dust than ceramic Brembo pads.
