I actually love my EBCs for street use. Incredible cold bite, no dust (ever), no squeak (ever), and my rotors and pads still look brand new after 6 months.
I have the greens - love them. Almost no brake dust and good performance (haven't had any track time with them though).
I could get some EBC Greenstuff rear pads for a mere $49.
I am running EBC Greenstuff, with almost no dust compared to stock pads.
EBC Green stuff all the way baby. Anyway, they are great, no dust unless you leave your car unwashed for 3 months.
I'm pretty happy with my EBC brakes and pads. They don't seem to fade and the braking efficiency has improved substantially. However, because they are grooved, you can almost hear yourself stripping a layer off the pads when you hit the brakes hard from a high speed. They also make a whirring sound, particularly hard under brakes, which is a little curious at first, but ultimately quite nice. I would recommend them. PS My wheels are also much easier to keep clean.
I have EBC pads on the Front, and let me tell you a story.... Last year, I had Mintex Redbox pads, (bedded in, with about 5k miles on them) and I went to Summit Point. After 1 stop from 110 mph, they were all done. I had to take it easy for the rest of the day, and my rotors began to warp badly. I switched to EBC pads this spring. 3k miles later, I went back to Summitt. As expected, I drove ALOT harder, since I knew the track better. The first session, I had violent shake from the previous warping, but by the 2nd session, the warping was GONE . Repeated, hard stops failed to make these pads skip a beat.
Hmm, EBC are some of the better brake pads between the other two. I have them on my car all around and I warped two sets of stock rotors on them, but I think that's because I was WAY too hard on them. I mean, I would heat them up so much that they would smell so so so bad. Now I have zimmermans and new V4 compound EBCs up front and I have no warpage after 4,000 miles. EBCs customer service is great, too.
Interesting I have EBC pads all round and have not experianced any problems at all. Unlike with the stock pads that had warped the discs with only 22K on the clock. It did give me the excuse to upgrade to the 312mm discs though and EBC Greenpads. A lot less dust and no noticable fade at all now, although I don't do track events.
