I've tried alot of pads including; stop tech sports (309), EBC blue NDX, dixel ztypes and most recently EBC RPX on my 1st and 2nd gen BRZ. Out of all these I would recommend the EBC RPX.
They have higher fade resistance than the rest.
Ankle flicking power all session
Safe cold bite (5°C)
Only slight squeal on street.
I have EBC SR-11s, 3 track days and like 8k street miles of them. Very very embarrassingly noisy but they still got 80% life left at least. And they don\u2019t wear the rotor like crazy either.
I use Reds and they are pretty good and no sounds that I’m aware of coming out of them. They stop very well
Look into EBC Redstuff pads and see if they offer it for your M3. Also consider either ceramic coating the wheel surface or paying to get it professionally coated. I switch most of my BMW’s to this brake pad and the dusting is significantly reduced while still maintaining a good bite and braking performance.
EBC Red Stuff pads will fix ya up nicely. Way less dust, better performing.
I use EBC blue stuff on my Mach 1 for national competition in F Street. Coefficient of friction of .52. modulate well, try them on the street all the time, and take a pretty good beating.
The last set of pads I used on those rotors was EBC Yelowstuff Truck pads. They were awesome but wore out in 20kmi and squeaked like hell. They also completely ate my Brake Performance rotors. Holy cow they stopped good but, never again.
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.
The EBC blues are not track pads... Despite how they market them. Once they cool from behind very hot they glaze over...
I wouldn’t run redstuff pads for autocross. I have, and they didn’t do so well.
