Brake pads EBC or Bosch
I've had great experiences with EBC Yellowstuff pads in prior vehicles. Super aggressive bite, will chew through rotors though so take that as it is. I like the current setup on my 23 Turbo, went oem front rotors and some Duralast Golds. Rear are DFC rotors and their 5000 series ceramics. Stops pretty nice, liking the feel but I also changed brake fluid at brake change, that may have helped.
I have ebc yellowstuff. Brembo rotors. Massive upgrade.
Using red stuff on stock rotors. I like them, but I haven\u2019t been staring at my wheels to get them super clean, so I\u2019d agree with others that it\u2019s NOT MORE dust than oem.
I also have those Bosch pads on my Tundra and they are really good, quiet, low dust, excellent overall.
I think the Bosch pads work fine.
Ebc yellow stuff. I have a QV and these have been recommended on various forums. Have performed great for me.
Last year a shop replaced the rear brake pads and disks but since then handbrake never was like before. They kept telling me it will get better which I believed at the time but it never did. Last month I've passed inspection and they told me that the rear left handbrake was almost out of spec and I'd need to check it out although it passed.
So a month later I've bought a Bosch kit, sliders, pads, grease, toolkit etc and replaced the 1 year old ferodo pads. Now handbrake is like it should be and I'm happy with it but take a look at the old pads...
Both inner side alignment pins (caliper side) are bent.
If the price is right - yeah, but there are better alternatives than BOSCH, for a little bit more. I installed brakes front and rear, new pads, rotors etc ~9-10months ago, they squealed like a pig for 5-6 of them, and I drive quite a lot, not just short commutes to the shop and back. They have been properly broken into, did everything to spec, bought genuine parts, not a knockoff, squealing like mofo. At the same time, I did brakes on my dads car, diferent brand, and price was ~1 euro more. 0 squealing from day 1, even during break in period. Before they were really good, now - not so much. They work, and they will do the job fine, however there are better brands, that offer value for the price you pay. I avoid batteries made by them, because they like to go bad after warranty.
I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.
I have had a different experience; total junk. 15K miles and they squeal like nobody's business.
