I installed EBC Redstuff pads on stock rotors... Well pretty happy with that so far. I just finished the break-in period. Better initial bite than OEM TRW pads. And little more braking power overall.
I've been running EBC Redstuff for 5+ years now, and while I haven't looked at the pad clips in over a year I don't recall them being any different than OEM. Performance has been good, and they're less dusty than the original pads.
I got them replaced with the EBC YellowStuff and the brakes feel much better at the track now. They still get a bit soft once it's hot, but this may be due to the brake lines expanding?
ebc yellows are great, but you need to bed them in with a hard stop from 180 kmph, not something you want to get caught doing.
I had yellows on my MR2 and I have greens on my BRZ. Yellows are amazing pads but you feel like you’re driving a 40 year old car when they are cold. If you have to stop fast on a cold morning it takes a lot more braking effort. Greens are amazing daily pads. No compromise on low temp and I haven’t even touched their top end with spirited driving.
I have EBC yellows on my Spyder. I'm pretty happy with them for street use, good grip and only occasional squeal.
I’ve used EBC yellow stuffs on my RX8 and M3 daily’s supplemented with Brembo blanks. They work well for just putting around town and work especially well with heat in them. They do seem abrasive at speed and they do seem to wear rotors down perhaps a bit quicker, but I still could get 20k out of a set with a couple of track days.
I personally run Zimmermann rotors and EBC pads. No issues during heavy braking. Definitely buy quality rotors, cheap rotors warp pretty quickly.
I put about 65 minutes of track time on my EBC Yellows. The seemed to hold up Okay. I sent some pictures to EBC they said they got really hot and I should consider brake cooling options.
I also bought EBC YellowStuff last year, and they promptly broke several springs which lead to hugely annoying rattle noises when driving over bumps.
