Brake pads EBC or R1 Concepts
EBC Redstuff pads
I use EBC YellowStuff. They are great on the street and very predictable & consistent at the track. My local track is not very brake intensive: I’ve run 8 track days on the same set of pads plus lots of street miles in between. They’re due to be changed before my next track day.
EBC Bluestuff NDX Appears to perform similar to DTC-30/ME20 or equivalent as a hybrid street/track pad. I know a couple fast drivers that use them with no fade. They're cheap enough that you might as well give them a shot, make sure "NDX" is in the product id.
Redstuff pads; excellent bite, zero dust
If you want more braking performance but don't mind the extra dust, the EBC Yellowstuff pads are my favorite street pad.
So i swapped out the OEM pads for some EBC sintered HH pads on my 22' Monster and I have to say the difference is night and day. Initially swapped the pads to try and fix the annoying brake shudder issue i had when slow braking to come to a stop (at a traffic light for example). Also I hated how the OEM pads felt. They were kind of soft and not very good. I ride pretty aggressively and I had a aprilia 660 before which had the same calipers (different master cyl) and the brakes felt way better and more direct because it didnt have such shitty OEM pads. I went for a quick ride after changing the pads and now the brakes feel waaay better and more direct. Paid like 60 bucks for both sides and also cleaned out the pistons and everything while i was at it. Can only recommend it to any 937 owner, because the OEM brake setup with the M32 calipers would be really good but the shitty pads are kind of ruining everything. I cant tell yet tho if the brake shudder issue i had is fully gone. During the test ride i felt like sometimes the front ent wasnt pulsating/grabbing anymore but sometimes it was still there but i hink it takes some time for the new pads to "brake off" all the uneven deposit from the stock pads. I heard that its a problem that the OEM pads also dont really "clean" the rotor well enough so thats why i thought id give the HH a try in the first place. Will go for another ride tomorrow and bed them in a bit more and see if it gets better but im pretty confident.
Got Redstuff for street use only. Everything is fine.
I have tried EBC yellowstuff and Ferodo DS2500. EBC yellowstuff won't handle anything on track...they just melt, they arent bad for the price but I prefer the DS2500.
I've used Yellow Stuff about 4 times on 4 different cars. I drive very aggressively on the street during midnight haulin ass events. First off, even on the street I glazed them on all 4 cars. The one car I fried them in one night, and they cooked my rotors too.
Strange but the EBC blue stuff pads had a bad flutter but when I switched to G-Loc pads it completely went away. So bizarre
