Have found EBC Redstuff to work well on 3 vehicle makes thus far though only 1 car almost had a complete front and rear set. EBC front pads and rotors and EBC rear pads with aftermarket rotors. They have good initial bite and feedback with reduced stopping distance. Good wear with no noise except one set.
Ive really enjoyed EBC brake pads on my LR3
EBC Reds FTW...great performance and I can go a few weeks between wheel cleanings and even then its very light. The barrels are way easier to clean up
They're tried and tested by most of the community including me. They have great bite for street and spirited driving with virtually no brake dust and minimal noise.
EBC Extra Duty pads. Noticeably better then the Akebonos they replaced.
I went with Hella/Pagid stock rotors. EBC red stuff pads. All the difference. That's all it took. And there is noticeably less dust on the alloys.
I have Red Stuff pads and I feel that they have more initial bite than the stock pads, and once you're deeper in the pedal they feel pretty much the same as the stock pads. On the street I feel they are very comparable to stock and dust much less. More importantly, the dust is gray and doesn't turn rusty colored so it doesn't look as bad between washes. Red Stuff wouldn't handle track events like OEM though. Also no issues with brake noise.
Went on a track day and the stock brakes would smoke like crazy after a couple of laps. Just switched to ebc yellow pads. I still have less than 500 miles on them but so far so good. Tried them in auto x and felt good, stopping force is a bit better. As far as street driving i hear a very slight squeal from the brakes under light braking. Dont think i'd even notice with windows up, its very slight. Update: ebc yellow pads stop a good bit better than stock brakes on the track. Alot better at handling the heat.
Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.
I had EBC red and green stuff on another car, would never buy again.
