I've been using EBC red ceramic pads on all my GP's. Never once had fitment issues and they're low dust and no squeaks. Bought some oe spec stoptech ones once and replaced them a few months later because they were too dusty.
I did ebc red stuff and some slotted and drilled rotors. Honestly I have to recommend it I love the hard bite if I hit them hard.
Massive step up from the OEMs assuming proper break-in. Since the car is just a daily, I can testify for the EBC Red pads with stock rotors. Been a year now and I feel like you truly need nothing else than this combo for the streets. Noise is minimal after break in period
I track mine with ebc yellow and blanks. I just bought another set from them. They sell kits. A few hundred total front and rear. Use plenty of brake lube on the backing plates or the squealing will be insane! If just street use, red is plenty good.
I have EBC yellow stuf pads with thier sloted rotors and love them. If your not going to go as hard and don't like break dust ho with the red stuf pads.
I got the redstuff pads and the ebc rotors about 3 months ago and they stop so so hard. I cannot compare them to anything else I have driven. They make stopping hard feel comfortable. The only thing I will warn you of is the squeaking. It gets better after about 1k miles but it hasnt completely gone away for me.
I’ve had Powerstop Z36 Impression: just average
Hawk LTS. Impression: very good
Raybestos Element 3. Impression: similar to OEM
Now I run Raybestos “Truck & Medium Duty” front & rear. They’re very good: low dust, low noise, good performance & pedal feel.
EBC Red Stuff! I swapped to them and some of their slotted rotors last month. They’re awesome!
So far I've ordered EBC Yellow Stuff pads (I've heard mixed reviews but the best alternatives seemed to be ~$500 a set so these will have to do)
I have the ebc reds they are good but smh at the people saying they are not dusty. they are worst pads i have ever had for producing dust.
