Girling Brake pads

I think those are only on mk1's. The only bad thing about them is they are so old the the surface the brake pad ears slide on gets worn so the pads get more play. If it's bad enough, the anti-rattle clips tend to fall out and then they really rattle. Nevertheless, still way better than the old square girlie pad system.

Pros: better than old system
Cons: pads get more play

EBC Brake pads

Those are what are known as track day pads. I use them a lot for autocross I'll use them for track sprints, I use them in the rear for full track days. This is on a Mustang with the six piston brembos in the front and the standard single piston calipers in the back.

Pros: good for track use

I am running SR11 right now and pretty impressed. Big bite, virtually no need to bed. Its not quite, no good track pad is but its also not that bad compared to other pads I have had.

Pros: big bite, no bed needed
Cons: not a top track pad

I went from EBC to Carbotech. It’s a night and day difference. I’m running XP8, but my car is very light.

Pros: night and day difference

Brembo Brake pads

Brembo is a good brand when it comes to rotors and ceramic brake pads. I got a pair of rotors and ceramic brake pads for 280ish CAD plus shipping and taxes.

Pros: good brand

It came with Brembo brakes, I have used them for about 75k miles and they are starting to make terrible noise especially when cold. They were making noise since maybe 40k miles but everytime i asked dealers to check the brakes they said they are fine. Even right now they brake perfectly fine but they make awful noise until they heat up.

Pros: brake perfectly fine
Cons: terrible noise when cold
Mileage: 75000 km
