Brake pads EBC or Bosch
I'm running the EBC HH on the MT07, it's a much better pad than OEM, more braking power but still work well for everyday.
They took a while to really bed in properly but they are a very solid option.
I put EBC Greenstuff and EBC discs on it, overkill brakes but nice as they are a lower dust pad, and that's after I warped the OEM and Delphi discs with it.
Swap the factory pads for EBC Red Stuff and buy a gallon of Adam's Wheel & Tire cleaner. The EBC pads still give off dust, but it's not as much as the stock pads and it doesn't stick to the wheels as much either.
red stuff pads served me well on the street but overheated in my first auto cross day. No one should have any business driving them hard enough on the street to overheat them.
EBC says that their racing RP RP1 brake pads are compatible with their street lineup. So swapping pads back and forth won’t be a problem.
EBC Redstuff pads
I use EBC YellowStuff. They are great on the street and very predictable & consistent at the track. My local track is not very brake intensive: I’ve run 8 track days on the same set of pads plus lots of street miles in between. They’re due to be changed before my next track day.
I’ve had these EBC blue stuff brake pads for 6k miles (2 track days) and they fronts are almost down to the metal. I expect them to go quick but this was a lot quicker than I had thought
I got about 500 miles on new EBC red pads and EBC rotors. They made so much noise when I first installed them, now only the driver side is still making a squeal on occasion. I assume the passenger side bedded and the driver side is close behind. My main question is for anyone who has these pads, do they ever chill out on brake dust? I can only assume they are not fully bedded in yet but holy god they dust like crazy. I can honestly say this whole experience has been terrible and EBC customer service is non-existent.
I used to destroy ebc pads in my 2002 WRX at leguna Seca.
