I live in North Jersey, so a bit warmer than by you but I haven't had problems with ebc red stuff pads. I've had them since last December paired with dba 4000 t3 rotors. They do feel like they don't grip as hard on the very first use each day but other than that no issues. The car is a daily driver.
It crossed my mind to get into a battle with the dealer over a wearing part given the mileage but I figured the best i had to hope for was replacement trash. I used high quality Zimmermann rotors and EBC red pads all around. I’m out $400ish yes but i know i have good stuff on now that will last. Brakes better now than it ever has.
I run EBC yellows year round with no issues or noise on street and track. I would recommend them, switching to stainless lines and chaining to RBF600 brake fluid.
Pal has Volvo brakes on his bmw E10.
I can wholeheartedly recommend you to try some performance pads. EBC Green Stuff, sporty street and track use, €150,- and Yellow Stuff, track use, €215,-. That last set is designed to stop heavy SUV'S.
Just got EBCs through enjuku racing. Pads bought local, stops fine just fine.
New pads (EBC) are way better then the original ones. Swapped front ones a month ago and now rear.
Can't go wrong with EBC pads. Though I have not Auto-x'd with this car ,the RedStuff pads are pretty rugged and great for daily use. My R32 is my only car and my daily as well. Current set have been 100% but on the previous set of RedStuffs, I had one of the rear pads delaminate (just that one time/one set) . Have been using EBCs for the last 20+ years and they have been great overall.
I went with the APR rotors and EBC Yellow pads all around, which are supposedly track oriented. The rotors are good, but remember that any type of slotted or drilled rotors will be hard on pads than smooth rotors. EBC Yellows are the recommended pads for light track use. I did two track days and put on about 5k miles. The pads are slow to grab on the street, meaning that they need to warm up before heavy braking.
I ran them on my mustang. They were dirty and occasionally loud. They also didn't last for shit as I believe they are really formulated for lighter cars.
