Brake pads EBC or WILWOOD
I’ve been a big fan of every EBC pad I’ve used. I liked yellowstuff but not when it’s winter. When they are hot they are incomparable to anything else I’ve used (I have used very few different pads so this isn’t a real data point). I like greenstuff for anything but driving at 9/10ths or above. They tend to fade quickly. I’m running Redstuff pads now and they seem good but I haven’t pushed them. They have a little more overhead than greenstuff apparently. They work well at low temperatures.
on stock caliper, I recommend these
Girodisc Front rotors
OEM rear rotors
EBC Yellow pad front, rear
SRF Castrol DOT4 brake fluid.
I just recently did a EBS red stuff with EBC slotted rotors package deal and I've been super happy. Reduced dust, only a squeak or two when wet/super cold, and bite is much improved.
For added stop on high heat, I use EBC YELLOW STUFF pads.

I got ebc yellow stuff pads on my car and they work great. I paired them with vented Brembo discs I can say till now I don’t have regrets
I just slapped EBC Red pads and cross drilled rotors on mine and called it a day. So far that's been serving me well.
Those look a lot like EBC Greenstuff, I'm assuming a cheap copy - the EBC break-in coating on the front does work well and doesn't squeal but I work on the assumption that anything from Amazon is fake.
Be careful when buying brakes for the Stinger, if you buy anything cheaper than the originals you'll get a nasty judder within a couple thousand miles! I had to replace the disc and pads with EBC Yellow to get rid of it. The judder was awful.
I have personally ran these rotors with EBC HH pads. I blued them on my first track day and swapped to used OEMs before the next. They felt fine as far as bite but the immediate bluing shows they’re not up to any amount of real heat. If I ran them for a track day or two more they surely would’ve faded badly and warped. I don’t recommend them.
