Brake pads EBC or STOPTECH
I run EBC greens. Really nice bite, cold or hot, stock quiet, and a little less dusty than the yellows.
I use stoptech sports. Great pad apart form being a little dusty.
I use EBC Yellows for my STR NC and like them a lot.
I recommend ebc blues to everyone and always get positive feedback, they bite better than oem cold and way better warm they are very dusty though.
EBC yellows have been great for me. Minimal squeal and moderate dust I also tried a set of OEM style ceramic pads but faded them on a high speed autox course.
ebc yellows were great dual duty pads when I used them, but dusty. They feel good on the street and the few hard brake tests I've done felt like they bite well, much better than the OEM quality pads I had.
I've swapped between Stoptech street pads and Carbotech XP-12 for a few years. The Carbotechs (race pads) would require some bedding in whenever they go back on the car. The rotors surprisingly lasted much longer than on the Carbotechs alone (I daily drive the car). I suspect it's due to the ideal working temperature of the Carbotech compound.
I went for Stoptech 309 sport pads since they are relatively cheap, and are comparable to ds2500. I only street
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 had EBC green pads on my 21 CS-R, developed squeal and crazy dust.
