Brake pads EBC or Bosch

I've always run EBC YellowStuff, and paired them with DBA 4000 T3 rotors, on all my cars, even before I did the STi Brembo swap on my WRX.

For regular use as a daily driver with regular spirited driving I really like EBC yellow pads. Honestly, those pads combined with StopTech rotors has been a great upgrade for my daily-driven car.

EBC pads, OE quality Zimmerman rotors and a brake flush with the proper fluid is all you need.

been looking at yellow stuff, as what I hear to be a great pad, and is more affordable than I imagined it would be.

I’ve dailied Redstuffs for 4 years now with no problem. They bite well, they don’t squeal, and they don’t make much dust.

No complaints about excessive dust, noise, or harshness - great pad upgrade with no glaring downside IMO.

Switch to EBC red pads if you aren’t gonna track it

I went with the EBC red stuff pads on my F90 and so far it’s been great. I don’t track the car, and I’d say my stopping power feels no different than the stock pads. I just hope they last forever like the stock lol.

I recently installed EBC redstuff with new rotors. Did the bed in procedure and worked great for first 300 miles or so. Today, I noticed a really loud squeaking noise coming from one of my wheels. Noise starts after brakes are warmed up, and increases when turning the wheel. Goes away when I apply the brakes. Think my pads might be glazed after some sprites driving, but not like I’ve done anything crazy.

Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
