EBC Ultimax brakes, from PerfectBrakes.com - low dust, fantastic performance. My cruise control took a while to get used to the new brake pads.

I did a pad swap at 6k with EBC Yellow pads and it made a significant difference.
Ebc redstuff pads and dba rotors are what I run and I love it. The pads do squeak a little sometimes but only if you’re real soft on the brakes
For Autox - why not Yellowstuff. They are a great street/autoX pad in my experience. Reds are horrible to me/not worth buying. Also Ferodo DS2500 is a good all-arounder.
Red stuff I find amazing at auto Crossing + daily driving. Low dust, no noise a great street performance pad. Absolutely not meant for track use.
én végül EBC-t vettem, általában kapja az ívet, amikor kanyargósabb utakra tévedek, eddig mindent kibírt, pedig nem kímélem.Úgy jött ki, hogy Grossglockneren lett befejezve a fék bejáratása, füstöltek már a fékek a nyúzástól és nem ott lett a vége a mókának, hanem még jöttek mindenféle olasz hegyek, ahol tovább lett tesztelve a rendszer határa, de a tárcsákat ez nem nagyon hatotta meg. Tavaly május végén került fel, azóta belement tizenpárezer km, abból 2700 km hegyi túra, és kb. minden hónapban van pár alkalom, amikor a féknek dolgoznia kell elég intenzíven, semmi baja azóta se.
EBC Ultimax produces much less dust than YellowStuff. If you like cleaning wheels constantly...And Ultimax performs very, very well.I used to use YellowStuff for autocross events, on three different cars (Mazda 2, Focus S and NC Miata).
Have had EBC Red stuff, Yellow stuff and Blue stuff. My impressions of them are below:
Red stuff - slightly better initial bite than an OEM pad, the same goes for performance at higher temps, however on track they didn’t last more than a couple of laps. Certainly more of a daily/fast road pad.
Yellow stuff - initial bite ever so slightly lesser than the red stuff, probably inline with OEM. However they put up with more abuse at higher temps and rarely gave much brake fade. Bit dustier, would say fast road/occasional track pad.
Blue stuff - initial bite worse than OEM, after a few hard stomps you can feel them waking up. Stand up to track abuse very well. After multiple fast laps on track, I felt it was the discs that were getting too hot, so these pads highlighted I needed brake cooling to keep going. Squeak at low speeds, dusty.
To answer your question, imo there isn’t a situation where blues are more ‘streetable’ than reds, I’d swap them out for reds and if you can, keep blues for the track ????

I’ve used EBC on my previous TTs, lasted 3/4 of day at Limerock
I smoked ebc yellow pads at the track and they were on the rear(traction off no vdc) Autocross course or lower speeds the stock pads and dot 5.1 brake fluid.
