EBC Red. I put them on my GTI and liked the low dust but loved the feel of the brakes. I thought the stock pads came on quite strong, but didn't get that much stronger as I pushed harder on the pedal. The reds are very linear without any hint of initial grabbiness.
EBC red. You only need to do the fronts.
I installed EBC Redstuff pads on stock rotors... Well pretty happy with that so far. I just finished the break-in period. Better initial bite than OEM TRW pads. And little more braking power overall.
I've been running EBC Redstuff for 5+ years now, and while I haven't looked at the pad clips in over a year I don't recall them being any different than OEM. Performance has been good, and they're less dusty than the original pads.
I got them replaced with the EBC YellowStuff and the brakes feel much better at the track now. They still get a bit soft once it's hot, but this may be due to the brake lines expanding?
I have the TRW TPC1633 ceramic pads installed, perfect fit (OEM) and brake as good as stock...actually smoother. Dust is reduced maybe by half.
ebc yellows are great, but you need to bed them in with a hard stop from 180 kmph, not something you want to get caught doing.
I had yellows on my MR2 and I have greens on my BRZ. Yellows are amazing pads but you feel like you’re driving a 40 year old car when they are cold. If you have to stop fast on a cold morning it takes a lot more braking effort. Greens are amazing daily pads. No compromise on low temp and I haven’t even touched their top end with spirited driving.
I have the epfa pads on my ‘17 r6. More power than my stock pads but not crazy in bite or max power imo. I’m a mid pack b group rider at best so yrmv. However, important to note, I took a trip to deals gap this fall and crossed the skyway in a cold light rain (45°f?) and the pads were not happy. First time I grabbed the lever and they had 15% of the power I was expecting, and took a solid 2 secs to build enough heat to do anything.
EBC are complete trash sorry. Street only use they are fine. Anything more than mild track use and they will fall apart. Carbotech xp8 would be your best option. Hawk black would be a good alternative.
