Brake pads EBC or Tesla
In the end I went for EBC yellowstuff, this kit specifically:
If you want better stopping power, you could use ebc pads.
Ebc Green Stuff Pads and Rotors
Pastiglie freni: le cambi dopo 200.000 km
I installed the same pads, much better than the OEMs. If you want you also don't have to reinstall the pad clips. The thin brass looking things. Not installing them makes it easier to see your pads and how much meat you have left. Also makes changing pads much quicker. The negative is that you might hear your pads rattle a little at first. I haven't noticed after the first couple of days.
EBC green stuff with EBC sport rotors if I remember correctly. They were easy to install and they've been great for about 5 years now.
I’ve had these EBC blue stuff brake pads for 6k miles (2 track days) and they fronts are almost down to the metal. I expect them to go quick but this was a lot quicker than I had thought
I have run both 21 and 11 with an EBC bbk for mk5 Supra. The 21’s had way too much bite imo, the Mu is .65 which was the highest I had ever ran. I think they’d be great with slicks but I run street tires. ABS would trigger about 3/4 pedal travel, not fun. I switched to SR11 and was much happier. In terms of bite they felt much better on street tires. I can still get into ABS but I’d have to brake really hard which is where my muscle memory is anyways. Both pads were easier to modulate than what I came from(csg c21). I do enjoy the drastic reduction in bedding as well. I haven’t had issues with fading but I’m also running them with 15” rotors and have OEM cooling ducts so ymmv.
I used up a new set of EBC Blues in a single track day, 5 sessions of 20 mins each. They also caused a lot of heat spots on my front rotors.
I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.
