Brake pads EBC or Bendix

I have EBC Red pads all around and am very happy with them. Very low dust. Less initial bite than the OEM pads and plenty of stopping power. I always thought the stock pads seemed to grab initially and wanted less braking with low pedal force. These Reds are much more linear (pressure vs. stopping) than the stockers were.

I have ebc reds in front, and hawk hps in rear. Way less dust than OEM pads and they seem to work a lil better.

I put some Bendix organic/ceramic pads on my S-10 way back in the day, and the dust was much more manageable. The dust is a lighter color so it's not nearly as obvious. My current car (G35 Coupe) has ceramic pads, and I can tell a big difference compared to my friends' cars. Brake dust always come back slower on my car.

EBC Yellowstuff brake pads

I used Redstuff on my MKV. Low dust, good bite, no noise except sometimes in the cold using light application. I drive mostly suburban traffic. Pads didn't eat the rotors. They are a ceramic pad (unless EBC changed the formulation recently) so not to be used for track days.

I use these pads. They only make noise when its really cold out. After I drive/brake for a few minutes the noise goes away. I use these pads because I have white wheels. I get roughly an extra week and a half before my wheels look really bad. That alone was worth it to me. Rotors still look fine as well. Hope this helps.

Now I'm using ebc red stuff pads and they make less dust than the hawks.

I got about 107,000 on my 06 and haven't needed to change the rotors yet. I just use Bendix Ceramic pads front and rear, we have always used Bendix stuff and never had any issues.

I once put some EBC Organic Pads on my Honda Shadow. They worked OK, but had a "buzz" that wasn't there on the OEM Pads. I ended up replacing them after about three weeks with new OEM.

StopTech slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads. Rotors and pads have one track day on them and a few thousand commuting miles. My OEM rotors with the same brand pads lasted 4-5 track days and 30k miles.
