Brake pads EBC or Bendix

Red stuff I find amazing at auto Crossing + daily driving. Low dust, no noise a great street performance pad. Absolutely not meant for track use.

EBC Ultimax produces much less dust than YellowStuff. If you like cleaning wheels constantly...And Ultimax performs very, very well.I used to use YellowStuff for autocross events, on three different cars (Mazda 2, Focus S and NC Miata).

I have some lighter rear rotors that are OEM sized saved 5lbs along with stainless brake lines and the brake master cylinder brace that keeps it from flexing on firewall...all from ECS to be paired with EBC reds up front and blues in the rear. IMO it was the quickest way to liven up braking capability without getting into big brake kits.

Listen, try to change your brake pads and just to be sure, fill a new brake fluid and the problem likely will go away. But try pads first. I recommend using EBC DOUBLE H sintered pads

I did several track days last year in my 2016 GTI with EBC blue stuff pads front and back. Really liked them. Stayed good for 20 and 30min sessions. Used fresh motul rbf600 fluid.

So, I run EBC yellow stuff, and they're honestly pretty fantastic street pads that will tolerate the use of light duty track days and autocross. I've ran them on multiple vehicles because they have a nice cold bite while still being able to cope with higher temps and having a good feel in modulation. Though, I've decided to for this season move to the blue stuff pads for one of the toys seeing track time this year. Do be warned, the Yellowstuff pads can be rather dusty.

I’ve been a big fan of every EBC pad I’ve used. I liked yellowstuff but not when it’s winter. When they are hot they are incomparable to anything else I’ve used (I have used very few different pads so this isn’t a real data point). I like greenstuff for anything but driving at 9/10ths or above. They tend to fade quickly. I’m running Redstuff pads now and they seem good but I haven’t pushed them. They have a little more overhead than greenstuff apparently. They work well at low temperatures.

I have run the EBC RP-1s and currently am on the RP-X. The 1s were fine/no issues I just didnt like the lower Mu (less bite). These are a 1400+ deg F pad. I used them on street between track events without issue.

Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.

Strange but the EBC blue stuff pads had a bad flutter but when I switched to G-Loc pads it completely went away. So bizarre
