Brake pads EBC or Akebono

EBC Brake pads

So for approximately $300 I got much better components. Which are MUCH better than stock and improved feel and effectiveness. ECS Tuning cross drilled and slotted rotors(288mm) EBC Red Stuff

Pros: improved feel, effectiveness
Mileage: 11000 km

Akebono Brake pads

Vary rpm, don't max load, don't overheat, motor in gear when decelerating is good for the rings. generally keep rpm below 5500 for the 1st 500 miles or so but the odd move up the tach to there won't hurt anything. I change the oil somewhere before 2k miles to get the build contaminants and more significant wear particles out.

Pros: good for the rings
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 500 km

I switched to EBC red stuff pads when I had my BBK installed. I like them, but haven't taken them to the track yet. Much less dust than stock.

Pros: much less dust

You'll be fine with those pads, your final lap should always be a cool down lap and when you park your car never use the E brake. I use the same brake pad and have been tracking on them for 3 years now, 28 days on them last year.

Pros: long lasting, good performance

EBC Brake pads

I have them on my rear axel with slotted EBC rotors. No squealing what so ever with about 3,000km's on them so far. It was properly bedded so idk if that's why some folks are having issues.

Pros: no squealing, long lifespan
Mileage: 3000 km

I have ebc redstuff on my fiesta st. Best pad for the money hands down. With my car/community, they are the best pad for a DD with more grab and less dust than stock. They also last way longer.

Pros: best value, more grab, less dust

I actually just put new rotors and redstuff on all four corners. I have not had any issues with them. Just make sure you bed them in. I think the only time they squealed was early in the morning when it was cold. After a couple stops at stop signs, I never heard from them.

Pros: no issues, quiet after bedding
Cons: squealed when cold

Brakes - EBC. Tried others either didn't like the feel or they didn't last long, or made a mess of the wheels (I do a lot of miles daily) so stick with those now.

Pros: good feel, long lasting
Cons: others didn't last

EBC Brake pads

I have the epfa pads on my ‘17 r6. More power than my stock pads but not crazy in bite or max power imo. I’m a mid pack b group rider at best so yrmv. However, important to note, I took a trip to deals gap this fall and crossed the skyway in a cold light rain (45°f?) and the pads were not happy. First time I grabbed the lever and they had 15% of the power I was expecting, and took a solid 2 secs to build enough heat to do anything.

Pros: more power than stock
Cons: poor cold weather performance
Part number: EPFA724HH

I ran them on my mustang. They were dirty and occasionally loud. They also didn't last for shit as I believe they are really formulated for lighter cars.

Cons: dirty, loud, short lifespan
