Rating 5.0

I installed EBC Red pads about 2 weeks ago. I don't have any squeaking problems, pedal is super stiff and grabs incredibly fast. The dust is really low in comparison to the stock pads. At this point my white wheels would be covered in black. The dust on there now is acceptable in my opinion. I know others don't like the EBC brakes. So far, I'm very happy with them. Hope this helps you.

Pros: pedal is super stiff, grabs fast
Cons: others don't like

I got the EBC Red brake pads installed front and rear. I ever so slightly cleaned the wheels the same day they were installed. So far so good. I haven't noticed any large amounts of brake dust. Stopping is great. Brake pedal is more touchy now. Overall I'm very happy with them!

Pros: stopping is great, brake pedal touchy
Cons: brake dust

Found EBC Yellow stuffs for the TTRS calipers for $140 (I've found EBC yellow stuffs a good compromise semi-squeal daily drive and decent on the track)

Pros: decent on the track
Cons: semi-squeal daily drive
Vehicle: Audi
Part number: DP42070

EBC Brake pads

I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).

Pros: Okay performance
Cons: Prone to fading

The negatives with EBC Yellow stuff is that they produce a HUGE amount of dust, and eat through rotors quickly. I had them on my wifes CX-9 with a set of their drilled and slotted rotors, they were horrible! The rotors had a vibration at anything over 45mph, and the dust they created was ridiculous.

Cons: huge amount of dust, eat rotors
Vehicle: Mazda
