The EBC FA606HH are a good upgrade. Great feel and initial bite.
For normal driving I'd recommend either ATE Ceramic pads, paired with ATE, painted or coated discs.
I upgraded to a two piece rotor (kit reused the stock caliper, I put EBC green pads in) and never had fade problems again.
Get Ate ceramic. never (almost never) have to wash your wheels again
Slap some EBC RedStuff or YellowStuff Pads on & you'll change your mind quickly.
The Xtra ones are a bit better, harder breaking but will wear a bit quicker. I went with EBC RedStuff pads myself and they’re brilliant but at a minimum I’d be going for the Xtras here if you’re driving it hard.
EBC green brake pads have that fish smell too.
For road course, EBC yellows will be OK for beginning, but won’t last more then 3 or 4 days as you progress
Good to know EBC quality control still sucks. I had a pair of their pads come apart, literally the meat of the friction material sheared off the backing plate.
Avoid the EBC blue stuff pads with those rotors, in case you're looking. They're super squeaky, even after a couple thousand miles, and seem to tend to put deposits on the rotors that make them feel like they're warped.
