So i swapped out the OEM pads for some EBC sintered HH pads on my 22' Monster and I have to say the difference is night and day. Initially swapped the pads to try and fix the annoying brake shudder issue i had when slow braking to come to a stop (at a traffic light for example). Also I hated how the OEM pads felt. They were kind of soft and not very good. I ride pretty aggressively and I had a aprilia 660 before which had the same calipers (different master cyl) and the brakes felt way better and more direct because it didnt have such shitty OEM pads. I went for a quick ride after changing the pads and now the brakes feel waaay better and more direct. Paid like 60 bucks for both sides and also cleaned out the pistons and everything while i was at it. Can only recommend it to any 937 owner, because the OEM brake setup with the M32 calipers would be really good but the shitty pads are kind of ruining everything. I cant tell yet tho if the brake shudder issue i had is fully gone. During the test ride i felt like sometimes the front ent wasnt pulsating/grabbing anymore but sometimes it was still there but i hink it takes some time for the new pads to "brake off" all the uneven deposit from the stock pads. I heard that its a problem that the OEM pads also dont really "clean" the rotor well enough so thats why i thought id give the HH a try in the first place. Will go for another ride tomorrow and bed them in a bit more and see if it gets better but im pretty confident.
Got Redstuff for street use only. Everything is fine.
Last set of pads were yellowstuff, they had a nasty bite when low speed braking and whined terribly. Switched to greenstuff, i like them.
Nice middle ground in brake performance, no whine, no low speed bite, no oem shimmy.
Bought reds, burned through them, bought blues, i like them better. A touch more grabby at slow speeds, and slightly more dust, but they held up at an HPDE no problem. The reds did not.
Ebc yellow stuff pads are pretty nice. Got em on my NB. Wouldn’t hurt to replace your pads with those. Break in process asks for new rotors but you can probably get away without em if you really don’t wanna do it, I did.
I put ultimax on my 3, and I can stop on a dime.
For what it's worth, I had the shudder too, it was pad deposits on the rotors. New EBC pads, some hard braking, and it went away.
Those look to be EBC "greenstuff" brake pads. "For spirited street use on lighter sports sedans and hot hatches, Greenstuff 2000 series is a perfect choice." They are made more for performance than driveability, they aee not really meant for your average daily driver. They are not bad pads, but they are intended more for the weekend racer. The pads will be noisy and harder on the rotors than regular pads. EBC also offers a red pad that is even more aggressive and intended strictly for track use.
I smoked ebc yellow pads at the track and they were on the rear(traction off no vdc) Autocross course or lower speeds the stock pads and dot 5.1 brake fluid.
Because they are. Best thing to do is buy some EBC pads and better rotors. I don't know what color pads EBC to get. I'm planning to do my brakes as well soon and we'll start researching.
