Brake pads EBC or OEM Honda
I got the bluestuff pads for the front of my car and couldn’t find the bluestuff rears in stock anywhere so got another brand for there. From what I heard it’s a solid brand
Ebc redstuff and dba rotors are what I’m running and I love them
Those are what are known as track day pads. I use them a lot for autocross I'll use them for track sprints, I use them in the rear for full track days. This is on a Mustang with the six piston brembos in the front and the standard single piston calipers in the back.
EBC RP1 is a great pad up there with Hawk DTC. they tend to wear quicker but are softer on rotors.
I am running SR11 right now and pretty impressed. Big bite, virtually no need to bed. Its not quite, no good track pad is but its also not that bad compared to other pads I have had.
I run rp1 on street they work great no squeaking. Good on track too.
I think the Fiesta actually has great brakes, even for its size. The only reason I would upgrade is to fight brake fade. That means new pads, fluid, hoses, and potentially a BBK (for heat dissipation ONLY, at the cost of more unsprung mass). The previous owner beat the brakes to an inch of their life so I swapped out new EBC Yellowstuff pads and EBC slotted discs, along with Motul RBF600 brake fluid. Braided hoses are in the garage waiting to go on at the next service. All in all a nicely sorted setup.
First set lasted 70k, the second set 50k as I was cheap and did the pad slap.
I have ran EBC before and they were meh even on my 120hp Miata.
I tried blue stuff and wasn't impressed at all, I burned through them in a day.
