Brake pads Brembo or EBC

Just replaced my rotors and pads all around. So far I like the Red Stuff much better than OEM. Less dust. Less noise.

Ric also got Renault to use Brembo brakes when he was racing for them.

I ran bluestuff on my FK8 for two days. I am a novice and it worked great.

I use EBC blues on front and EBC yellow on rear (they don’t make blues for my rear brakes). I love them, I think they work great on street and track, although wear a lot faster than Yellows did when I was first starting out.

I had ebc reds on my last wrx and loved them. There were a lil dusty, but I was very impressed with their stopping power

Last week I got R1 Concept drilled & slotted with EBC RedStuff brake pads. This is my 2nd set of redstuff pads. Did about 40k miles on the first set with no squeal or shakes.

The steel lines are great addition. The EBC pads add significant bite, but I did warp my stock rotor with a full weekend at Road Atlanta. Put a Galfer rotor on there.

I just changed my oem rear pads to them after 160,000km and it works well without any vibrations.

The initial bite is really, really good on the street, and the pads feel very good. I never had issues with overheating.

The life of the front pads, however, wasn't very impressive to me. I got about 8 months of daily driving (75% highway miles), 20-30 canyon runs (roughly 35 minutes each) + 2 trackdays (my 2nd and 3rd ever) out of them. I had to cut my 3rd trackday short because the wear sensor came on, and then within 10 minutes, the front pads were metal-metal with the rotor, and I went off into the dirt.

I tried them one time on my track car and they were terrible.
