Brake pads EBC or Akebono
EBC Green Stuff pads.
I'm happy with EBC red, better braking by less fade but I don't know if can be much better with other combinations
This was a surprise because my Akebono pads appeared to be wearing well.
I have the ebc greenstuff on my corrado and they are great, never dusty
Brembo Sport slotted rotors with Akebono Ultra Premium ceramic pads.
akebono euro ceramic pads have the least dust i've ever seen from a pad, make no noise, last awhile and i havent seen any extra rotor wear. however they are NOT a performance pad, think of them like stock pads in temp performance but just very low/light colored dust, no noise.
Can't say enough good things about my Akebono pads. Dust is almost non-existent and they stood up to a full day of Auto-X without any fade....at one point several consecutive runs.
Have my Akebono's, Zimmerman crossdrilled, and Tyrolsport caliper pin kit in for a week now. Theres a stronger pedal feeling and no brake squeel. The pedal dosnt feel smooshy.
I ran the SCCA PDX on June 15 on the Summit Point Main Circuit. The burning brake smell that several other drivers remarked on turned out to be the stench of my EBC reds and stock rear pads decomposing.
i had a set of EBC greens a few years ago that cracked and actually separated themselves from the metal backing plate.
