Brake pads EBC or TRW
Been using EBC Yellow Stuff for about a month now and love em. At the same time I got Continental summer tires put on as well. It's crazy how much more braking power this set up gas, however you may have to get used to the firmness, took me a couple weeks to soft stop again without a minor jerk when finally stopped, and I notice tire nose more now as well.
I would also recommend the Yellowstuff pads. They are a bit more expensive than the reds, but worth it. I've cooked my red stuffs a few times and the yellows seemed to be much more temperature resilient, I'll be switching back when these die. I also didn't experience any less cold bite from the yellows compared to the reds, which is important on a street pad.
I've always run EBC YellowStuff, and paired them with DBA 4000 T3 rotors, on all my cars, even before I did the STi Brembo swap on my WRX.
For regular use as a daily driver with regular spirited driving I really like EBC yellow pads. Honestly, those pads combined with StopTech rotors has been a great upgrade for my daily-driven car.
EBC pads, OE quality Zimmerman rotors and a brake flush with the proper fluid is all you need.
been looking at yellow stuff, as what I hear to be a great pad, and is more affordable than I imagined it would be.
I’ll be switching to TRW Ultra pads when the time comes. All reviews say they are similar in performance to OEM without the dust.
I’ve dailied Redstuffs for 4 years now with no problem. They bite well, they don’t squeal, and they don’t make much dust.
I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?
Not a fan of EBC, had yellow and blew through them in one track session.
