Switch to EBC red pads if you aren’t gonna track it

I went with the EBC red stuff pads on my F90 and so far it’s been great. I don’t track the car, and I’d say my stopping power feels no different than the stock pads. I just hope they last forever like the stock lol.

Swap for EBC red pads and you’ll never see dust again. Good cold pad bite + super quiet. Big step up from the factory bmw “sport” pads.

I bought and installed EBC red stuff pads on my stoptech slotted rotors. I also have stainless steel brake lines too. I've had several techs tell me my brakes are fine, but I literally can push the brake pedal to the floor in some cases, including the highway. It stays like that for a while too as I'll be driving at 60+ mph, go to stop and it has a long bit of travel. I will even pump up the brake pedal while at red lights and stop signs just to get some more bite but I feel like I might fuck up the master cylinder doing this enough. The fluid was flushed less than 6 months ago, but I feel like I need to switch to a better pad if this is actually the issue. I felt like my ABS wasn't even going off at one point due to these pads, or that I had some trapped air in my lines.

The stock pads that came on my RS3 were god awful for brake dust. After 2 days of normal highway driving they looked like crap. They also hit the wear sensor after only 15k miles which is bananas for a mostly highway driven car. I bought a set with a new pair of 2 piece rotors and the difference is night and day. Braking is much stronger and zero fade even in more demanding conditions (the two piece rotors obviously help with that) I’ve had them on for 25k miles and they have very little wear on them. I’d definitely buy them again. That said, be warned that for like 500-1000 miles after they are installed, your wheels will be the dustiest you’ve ever seen. Once that wears off, they run very clean.

Just did EBC Redstuff and EBC USR slotted rotors on my GTI and they have been great.

They’ve been installed for a few months now and they’ve been great!

I ran a set of EBC Greenstuff 2000 Series pads over EBC slotted and drilled rotor on my Ford Focus. Quality difference over OEM is huge. I'd never run OEM again.

On my Mini SE, I have EBC red on the front, yellow on the rear to add more rear brake bias. Works great for DD and AX. On my R53 with correct brake bias, reds all round. I really like the reds for both DD and fun driving.
