Brake pads EBC or OEM Mazda
I put EBC Red pads on my MINI and they have been great, the car stops better and I see no dust at all on the wheels.
I've very much enjoyed my EBC green pads on my dailies, they do dust a bit but grab pretty nice and don't squeal. Never had a buildup that causes vibration.
I've run multiple sets (Green Stuff and Yellow Stuff) without issue. Yes, the yellows dust quite a bit but no more than most semi-metallic pads I've had. As far as vibrations go, my 2013 Abarth has Yellow Stuffs all around that feel great and just completed a track day last Monday without issue.
I changed out the stock pads for EBC reds in the first couple thousand miles, so I will see how that ratio works out.
312 upgrade. Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads.
So for approximately $300 I got much better components. Which are MUCH better than stock and improved feel and effectiveness. ECS Tuning cross drilled and slotted rotors(288mm) EBC Red Stuff
I switched to EBC red stuff pads when I had my BBK installed. I like them, but haven't taken them to the track yet. Much less dust than stock.
You'll be fine with those pads, your final lap should always be a cool down lap and when you park your car never use the E brake. I use the same brake pad and have been tracking on them for 3 years now, 28 days on them last year.
I put about 65 minutes of track time on my EBC Yellows. The seemed to hold up Okay. I sent some pictures to EBC they said they got really hot and I should consider brake cooling options.
I also bought EBC YellowStuff last year, and they promptly broke several springs which lead to hugely annoying rattle noises when driving over bumps.
