I have EBC HH. Love them. Great grip and stopping power.
EBC yellow pads, Bosch ESi6 fluid, klmperformance steel braided lines. Maybe a slotted rotor to really eat the pads and get another few %. I did each mod one by one and didn’t notice much performance difference but just getting a new pad in there was huge. I rubbed partially through a line and swapped out to raysbestos pads and a rubber temporary line. Feels the same, still great, and on 285s. I don’t want to pay so much for ebc yellows but if you are towing shit then don’t skimp. Stock brakes sucked once I went to 265s. Before the 285s the truck would stop extremely well especially with a stiffer suspension (Bilstein 6112s with 700lb springs). I’ll go with slotted rotors next and a mid tier pad.
I replaced my stock brake pads with EBC Green Stuff. There's been times where I need to make an emergency stop and *holy shit will they stop*. I think the seatbelt bruised my chest the one time.
EBCs. I also did SS lines but my brakes feel amazing. And they’re barely wearing with 4,000 miles. And I hard brake all the time.
EBC BlueStuff NDX has my vote! They perform excellent on the track and are quiet for the street. I use stock rotors but feel free to upgrade those if you feel like it’s worth it for you. Upgrade the brake fluid as well. I used Motul 660.
The only pads I run on any of my vehicles now are EBC Brakes. Redstuff for daily/street leaning as they are less noisy, aggressive, and leave low dust with exceptional braking performance cold or warmed up. These are ceramic so they also have longer life than traditional pads. Yellowstuff for anything higher weight or power (have had them on my 955 Cayenne Turbo, an e90 335i, and on a Lexus SC400). Outstanding braking bite and not too aggressive for the street. A little more responsive in the cold but only marginally. The only downside is the high amount of brake dust, but a good cleaner and wheel coating can ease that. These are metallic so life is less but they have more of the “bite” many look for when they want a track-capable pad.
EBC Blues or Ferodo DS2500s are the minimum baseline for what I'd put on the track. They can both handle novice/intermediate pace without being absolute shrieking banshees on the street. Lot of dust though, and they likely won't hold up to more than 4-5 track days. But very streetable.
I run EBC yellows on a heavy car (Kia Stinger GT) and they do ok. The problem with TNiA events (especially the novice group), there's usually A LOT of traffic, and no one is pushing the limit into braking zones.
I tried them one time on my track car and they were terrible.
I hate EBC. People recommended their pads for dual duty track and daily. Lol they’re not good at all. Hawk, Ferodo, and Endless over EBC any day of the damn week.
