Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP
On my Mini SE, I have EBC red on the front, yellow on the rear to add more rear brake bias. Works great for DD and AX. On my R53 with correct brake bias, reds all round. I really like the reds for both DD and fun driving.
A $30 set of carbon ceramic powerstop pads will fix that.
Did the front / rear rotors and pads myself with Power Stop kit. Excellent upgrade and with 30k miles on them have tons of life left.
For daily driving, EBC Redstuff are perfectly capable and inexpensive.
I used Power Stop Z261440 and Z261807 for a year with good results. Low dust, no squeaking
Last year I switched to the EBC Redstuffs. Overall braking power hasn't necessarily improved that much (according to the butt dyno), but appears to handle heat better as my brake pedal stays consistent through the entire day and doesn't begin to feel softer during the end of the day during my last couple runs.
I run EBC greens. Really nice bite, cold or hot, stock quiet, and a little less dusty than the yellows.
I use EBC Yellows for my STR NC and like them a lot.
Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.
I tried PowerStop rotors and pads - I will never use the pads again. They lasted 1/2 the time of any other pad.
