Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP
Got a 22 brz and use ebc yellow the old formulation on a technical short track without issues.
I have ebc yellow in my c5 and very much prefer them over the hawk street 5.0 I had before. No issues with fade at any point.
I ran EBC yellows at PittRace on my Golf R and they held up fine.
EBC yellows are completely fine. I used them when I tracked my Gen coupe and never had an issue. Dusty as shit, but I liked em for the track.
I drove pretty damn hard all 3 sessions in the novice group passing all kind of faster cars that I didn’t expect to. I had minimal brake fade and a light pulsation developing later in the session after long straights but never came close to an “oh shit” moment. I was pleasantly surprised the next day when I inspected the brakes and found the pads around 2/32nds and the rotors well above minimum spec. I expected to go metal to metal before the end of the day.
Update: I bought the Powerstop z26’s (I thought I bought the z23’s) but they so far work great!
I’ve used the powers too kits with success in the past but now I just run duralast gold ceramic pads and gold rotors. Haven’t have any issues towing with them in 3 years
I got a kit from Powerstop with drilled/ slotted rotors and ceramic pads. Huge boost in braking power.
This was my only complaint with my car when it was new. I can't wrap my head around how they thought that amount of brake dust was acceptable.
I swapped in Powerstop pads and have been happy ever since.
Get the raybestos for $81 there isn’t any need to spend any more money than that. The power stop brakes are a joke I have them on my truck now and they are not as good as the brakes I took off also the coating doesn’t stop rust.
