Brake pads EBC or Bosch

Bosch Brake pads

Decided to pull the wheel, and found a TRW stamp on the caliper, so it's been ID'd. Anyone need a set of Bosch BC1456 pads for the Bosch calipers?

Part number: BC1456

There’s a rotor and pad combo I’ve used on our allroad 6MT, Escalade ESV & 07 Beetle Vert 3x White. Through trial & error we discovered the only way to keep the under braked 3T Escalade rotors from warping due to pad material buildup was to go countersunk gas slotted & x drilled rotors. They were added to the other vehicles because we found Bosch ceramic pads and the hot galvanized rotors will NOT rust. The Beetle has been running the same pads and rotors since ‘14. They’re silent, don’t leave dust and have amazing pedal feel when cold or hot. They also look new because they don’t rust. The last and unexpected benefit of these rotors is that they don’t fade from heat or water saturation.

Pros: silent, no dust, amazing pedal feel
Cons: rotors warping due to buildup

I’ve run ebc red stuffs on autocross and spirited mountain cruises. They held up great, never over heated, and kept less dust. Key being LESS, not none. However, this was on a 200hp mini so I can’t speak to how they’ll hold up on higher power applications. Bedding them in properly goes a long way towards long life. I put about 6 autox, 15k mi, and 2 track days on a set and they were about 40% left.

Pros: held up great, less dust
Mileage: 15000 km

Usually for pads though I go with Bosch ceramic for my cars and Bosch semi metallic for my trucks. I have never had an issues and get great life from my pads.

Pros: long life, reliable

I'd do a stock replacement rotor (Zimm) and a pad with a bit more heat tolerance (not a track pad by any means) to deal with the trailer. Reds are fine street pads but will cave to heat somewhat easily.

Pros: good cold bite
Cons: cave to heat easily

I did the Yellowstuff pads and ebc rotors on the back of my ‘17 RS. The one spring on the drivers side didn’t seat properly at first and squealed until I disassembled it and put it in properly.

Cons: squealing
