Brake pads EBC or OEM Mercedes
I run the dimpled and slotted versions along with EBC yellow pads and they grab WAY better than stock in every comparable way. The initial bite on the pads when cold and hot is significantly better and they resist heat much longer too.
Running EBC Yellow's at the moment.
I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.
I'm currently running EBC yellows which have done me well for daily use(if you don't mind the dust), Autobahn driving, and on Spa and the Nurburgring.
EBC Blue Stuff on stock rotors for me. Zero regrets. Everything I own gets EBC blue stuff from now on. Incredible grip. Very low dust that rinses away. I didn\u2019t know brakes could be like this and I\u2019ve driven hundreds of thousands of miles on all sorts of brakes. I am not tracking them, but my everyday drives bear some similarities.
I replaced mine with EBC red. Same as OEM to me, good stopping power. Less dust to deal with.
I switched to red stuff after the OEM needed replacement. A little less brake dust but I have noticed that the red stuff are not going to last the 38k miles my OEM did. I believe I will get around 24k out of them.
I think ebc blue are pretty good for what you need. Only downsides are that they are dusting a lot and they're going to last only several track day sessions.
I wouldn’t run redstuff pads for autocross. I have, and they didn’t do so well.
My rear ebcs are squealing like a b...thc
