I've had them for 30k km and they're great. Perfect for spirited driving / autocross and I've only ever had brake dust squeal once and for a very short time.
My EBC reds say to use pads easy for 200 miles. Then do 4-5 hard stops from 50 mph
Others like EBC have specific procedures for heating and cooling the brakes to make them to the surface.
I put some EBC Yellow pads on for a track day and have been enjoying them on the street since.
EBC Yellowstuff and Cquence rotors. Top notch stopping power.
I ran the EBC BlueStuff NDX. They are a great track pad but also didn’t feel like a track pad when driving on the street. They have decent cold bite and we’re very quiet for me.
I replaced my Mk6 stock pads with EBC RedStuff and love them (better feel under hard braking and practically no dust).
I've used them on track in NASA HPDE3 group. They are pretty much equivalent to the Hawk HP+, for a lighter weight car they are fine for track days but for a heavy car you will need a more race oriented pad.
I’ve driven roughly 150 miles and I’ve done EBC’s suggested bed in process. But they’re still squealing when I’m coasting from 0-40mph. The squealing sounds like the wear indicator rubbing on the rotor, but they’re brand new and nowhere close to the rotor. Do they take longer to bed in? The squealing is really high pitched and annoying
I tried them on the track years ago. Junk!
