I got Stoptech Sport pads that I've used on track and street for many years.
The EBC pads (Red) that I installed 6 months or so ago have never made a peep at any time. They seemed to fit snugly in the calipers. Very happy with them mated to Zimmermann drilled rotors.
Lol paid £170 for my front brakes last week and did them myself. EBC's too.
Have a look at EBC, their “red stuff” pads work really well on my car and were nowhere near that price.
I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.
No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.
EBC red is a great street and auto X pad. It’s not a trackpad. EBC Blue is entry-level track and well it technically can be used on the street. Its manners are pretty poor.
The Reds are designed for streets applications. They will be a much better pad on a daily driver that goes to auto cross or mountain roads.
EBC red. Yellow likes to squeal loudly if it isnt warm.
Ditch EBC. Discs are OK. But pads are just pure viral marketing via forums etc. Played havoc with the ABS on my GC8 Subaru when I had them (ABS kicking in actually massively increased stopping distances).
Took the Swift for a spirited drive down the horseshoe pass today, by the bottom the brakes stank, pedal went soft and stopping power became dangerously weak. Drove it softly for a mile or so and they were back to normal and I could lock the wheels again.
