Brake pads EBC or Bosch
Was told to replace all my discs and brake pads too a few weeks back when I did my MOT. Tight on money atm so decided to do it myself and I’m glad that I did because I saved myself a lot of money, only paid for parts and then a few hours of my time. Ordered the whole set from AutoDoc and the total was £220 for Bosch parts, so not exactly budget either. Also, garages with cheapest quotes might opt to use budget parts which could end up squeaking etc, so just keep that in mind, but I’d say do it yourself if you wanna save the most money.
Bosch quiet cast brake pads and rotors are a phenomenal aftermarket option.
I have EBC Greens on my '95 miata with 80k miles and 3mm on each corner due to spirited driving.
The EBC RPX pads are their race ones and are incredibly good for the price. They last a long time and have serious bite. I have these paired with their fully floating rotors and callipers and have not had a single issue in a year of tracking my e46 m3.
I run EBC Redstuff pads, the brake dust is very minimal.
they held up fantastic. I drove to the track, and drive home after the track day; no issues.
Got a 22 brz and use ebc yellow the old formulation on a technical short track without issues.
I have ebc yellow in my c5 and very much prefer them over the hawk street 5.0 I had before. No issues with fade at any point.
I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?
I had yellow stuff on my 7.5R, performed well on the street but it fall apart when I took the car on track. They seem not really coping with high heat senarios, bite significantly dropped towards the end of a 20 minutes session, and the pads is installed on AP Racing 8520 caliper with 380mm disc, never go back to EBC afterwards
