Brake pads EBC or Textar
On my Mini SE, I have EBC red on the front, yellow on the rear to add more rear brake bias. Works great for DD and AX. On my R53 with correct brake bias, reds all round. I really like the reds for both DD and fun driving.
For daily driving, EBC Redstuff are perfectly capable and inexpensive.
Last year I switched to the EBC Redstuffs. Overall braking power hasn't necessarily improved that much (according to the butt dyno), but appears to handle heat better as my brake pedal stays consistent through the entire day and doesn't begin to feel softer during the end of the day during my last couple runs.
I run EBC greens. Really nice bite, cold or hot, stock quiet, and a little less dusty than the yellows.
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.
For rotors I have cross drilled brembos, they are pretty nice. And for pads I have EBC yellow stuff which is a track pad and I can’t tell any difference over oem. Just a shit ton of brake dust which I’m sick and tired of.
I had EBC green pads on my 21 CS-R, developed squeal and crazy dust.
