Brake pads EBC or Akebono

I ran the EBC BlueStuff NDX. They are a great track pad but also didn’t feel like a track pad when driving on the street. They have decent cold bite and we’re very quiet for me.

I replaced my Mk6 stock pads with EBC RedStuff and love them (better feel under hard braking and practically no dust).

Example: Akebono makes Hondas brake pads, buying the OE set is around $145, straight from akebono is around $60.

I bought EBC BlueStuff pads. Amazing on track and they don’t feel like track pads on the street.

I had her order Advics rotors and Akebono ceramic pads and no issues since.

I swapped out to EBC pads and rotors. And won't go back to OEM.

Running red stuff pads and slotted EBC rotors on my daily. Stops fast enough to peel your face off. No noise now that I've rebuilt the calipers and made sure that everything is able to move properly.

Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows. Pedal feel with the Endless fluid was consistent as well.

I've used them on track in NASA HPDE3 group. They are pretty much equivalent to the Hawk HP+, for a lighter weight car they are fine for track days but for a heavy car you will need a more race oriented pad.

I'm jumping in here on red stuff EBCs. They're good for initial bite but have awful brake fade on light applications and are noisy as hell. I've pulled the rears off twice to smear the backing plate in grease just to keep them quiet. Probably should've just replaced them entirely. Not worth.
