Brake pads Brembo or EBC
I have ebc yellow in my c5 and very much prefer them over the hawk street 5.0 I had before. No issues with fade at any point.
I ran EBC yellows at PittRace on my Golf R and they held up fine.
EBC yellows are completely fine. I used them when I tracked my Gen coupe and never had an issue. Dusty as shit, but I liked em for the track.
I drove pretty damn hard all 3 sessions in the novice group passing all kind of faster cars that I didn’t expect to. I had minimal brake fade and a light pulsation developing later in the session after long straights but never came close to an “oh shit” moment. I was pleasantly surprised the next day when I inspected the brakes and found the pads around 2/32nds and the rotors well above minimum spec. I expected to go metal to metal before the end of the day.
Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows.
Just replace the rears with the same brake pads aftermarket really suck. They do wear out fast but their worth it. Rotors get them Online their about $250 for two rear rotors and brake pads runs around $300 for the Euro pads for the Dynamic Edition.
Zimmermann cross-drilled rotors and Brembo pads were ironically the best priced option for my car lol.
I got Brembo pads for my 2012 S550. Under $200CAD for front and rear Brembo pads
Had the ebc yellow stuff excellent pad but the squealing for daily use was unbearable so changed back to OEM.
Those Brembo pads that cost $500 a set are total trash, too. They are low friction and still real dusty. I threw mine in the trash at like 2000 miles.
