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.
EBC green stuff with EBC sport rotors if I remember correctly. They were easy to install and they've been great for about 5 years now.
I’m running nicer blank rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads currently. It’s super nice when they’re all warmed up, but they are a bit dusty
I call complete bull shit with oem break pads they are trash iv gone Thu!! the red yellow stuff pads yellow is okay… with rotors solid and drilled …… I’m saying this after owning 2 wrx,s and a shit ton of break issues for the best stopping ability and aggressive driving get slotted rotors EBC the best stoping is with out a doubt is the blue stuff pads and a set of Michelin s sport tires the only thing is you will need to do is drain you dot 3 brake fluid and use dot 4 because liquid moly it’s much higher temp boiling point because I do some serious canyon driving and boi do they get hot !!! At night my buddies have told me my rotors are glowing but non of them can stop like me!!! I’m telling you the best part is the break in is quick af and less rotor wear but down side is they get hot oh and get copper seal savers for the bleeers I have yet to set off my ABS from a 90 mph to complete stop slamming on my brakes
I’ll end this on saying absolutely worth the money.
I'm running the EBC HH on the MT07, it's a much better pad than OEM, more braking power but still work well for everyday.
They took a while to really bed in properly but they are a very solid option.
I put EBC Greenstuff and EBC discs on it, overkill brakes but nice as they are a lower dust pad, and that's after I warped the OEM and Delphi discs with it.
Swap the factory pads for EBC Red Stuff and buy a gallon of Adam's Wheel & Tire cleaner. The EBC pads still give off dust, but it's not as much as the stock pads and it doesn't stick to the wheels as much either.
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 legit just installed the same pads and rotors and the squealing is driving me nuts. It’s only from my passenger side and happens sporadically under light breaking. Everything I have read says it will go away. However I’m at about 400km and it’s still there.
I got about 500 miles on new EBC red pads and EBC rotors. They made so much noise when I first installed them, now only the driver side is still making a squeal on occasion. I assume the passenger side bedded and the driver side is close behind. My main question is for anyone who has these pads, do they ever chill out on brake dust? I can only assume they are not fully bedded in yet but holy god they dust like crazy. I can honestly say this whole experience has been terrible and EBC customer service is non-existent.
