I'm extremely impressed with their Sport pads, when compared to their closest Hawk competitor, HPS. I ran Hawks for quite a while and they were ridiculously loud. The Sports give me similar bite, maybe a tad more, but no squeal whatsoever. These were on a Focus RS that I used for DD/autocross.
I've been happy with my EBC Red stuff pads. Stop great, are quiet and best of all cut my brake dust significantly.
I just got green stuff for my wife’s ‘14 sport. It does feel better under braking than it did feel. I just used stock type rotors as it isn’t aggressively driven so no need for better cooling.
I installed EBC Red Stuff street/track pads on my 2008 Mazda 6 about 10 or so years ago - front pad set only. I selected the Red Stuff pads because I wanted the performance of a trackable pad set, and I got it! The pads were also advertised to be a "low dust" formulation, which we all desire, of.course. I installed them with ceramic pad grease, and did the brake pad bedding procedure as specified by EBC. Prior to installing and bedding the pads, I had the beginnings of very slight front brake pulsation/lateral rotor runout. Believe it or not, this pulsation/runout was resolved after performing the bed in procedure and did not recur. I got the performance increase that I sought - the difference was GREAT, even though I did the front pad set only and the car's stopping power was already good. I found that the pads were not really low dust, at least by my interpretation.
I upgrade to EBC yellow stuff and R1 Concepts drill and slots rotors,ECS tuning brake lines and Motul brake fluid. Very pleased,definitely recommended setup
I run EBC Redstuff pads and they’re good enough for regular driving. Way less dusting than OEM pads.
I'm running EBC's GPFAX on my 636 and Vesrah RJL on the R3. EBC is great bang for the buck, plenty of confidence, never had fade, great bite. Far better than OEM.
I like my EBC red stuff. A little dusty.
I got EBC red pads from ECS for my SQ5 I got 40000km to a set of fronts/rears but man they were shot when they came off.
Prior to a long roadtrip a few months back, I decided to swap a slightly more aggressive rotor/pad combo onto my car. Nothing crazy, just a bitier pad and more durable rotor. Having always been a Bosch/Brembo guy, I decided to try out EBC, as its apparently a pretty sporty setup to run. So no big deal, I order the set, I pop them on, I break them in, and I go on about my business --> or so I thought. I don't know if this is an EBC exclusive feature or what, but the brake dust is atrocious. This stuff sheds itself more than a housecat coughing up balls of hair. It was only about 750 miles into use that I started to experience horrendous vibrations from the actual pads and rotors depending on the temp of the brakes and how hard I'm pressing. Its not a 'traditional' warp, but rather most certainly just huge build-ups of pad sediment, as these vibrations are intermittent. Anyone else have experience with EBC's? I've done about 5K on them and they're honestly pretty sh*t in my time with them. Likely going to go back to Bosch. Here's images of the dust collection only about 100-200 miles after I cleaned them. Seriously, whats the deal?
