I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.
No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.
EBC red is a great street and auto X pad. It’s not a trackpad. EBC Blue is entry-level track and well it technically can be used on the street. Its manners are pretty poor.
The Reds are designed for streets applications. They will be a much better pad on a daily driver that goes to auto cross or mountain roads.
EBC makes great pads and discs. Have them on my NB and they've been solid for like two or three years now after the Brembos warped themselves.
The EBC RP-1 pads seem to have good road manners.
I have the performance pack, went with OEM rotors and EBC red stuff pads.
I installed EBC Yellowstuff pads and at first they squeeled every stop. 5K miles later it diminished substantially.
I run EBC yellows on a heavy car (Kia Stinger GT) and they do ok. The problem with TNiA events (especially the novice group), there's usually A LOT of traffic, and no one is pushing the limit into braking zones.
The only thing wrong with them are they are too soft, organic pads. Switch to a metallic pad.
I recently purchased EBC BSD rotors and EBC RedStuff. The front rotors ended up with an unknown lead time, so the rep reached out and suggested DBA 4000 T3s. I dropped the car off at the dealership as they'd agreed to cover the labor under warranty. I stopped by yesterday and was told they were having some issues with the install and that the pads didn't come with hardware... the tech was already left for the day I swung by again today. I was told that the holes in the pads were slightly larger than the pins, which allows for the pads to shift up and down. I took it home and confirmed everything is good in one direction, but when I pop it in reverse and hit the brakes, I hear a metal to metal click as the pads shift up and hit the caliper. The same is true when I put it back in drive and hit the brakes.
