I have EBC pads on the Front, and let me tell you a story.... Last year, I had Mintex Redbox pads, (bedded in, with about 5k miles on them) and I went to Summit Point. After 1 stop from 110 mph, they were all done. I had to take it easy for the rest of the day, and my rotors began to warp badly. I switched to EBC pads this spring. 3k miles later, I went back to Summitt. As expected, I drove ALOT harder, since I knew the track better. The first session, I had violent shake from the previous warping, but by the 2nd session, the warping was GONE . Repeated, hard stops failed to make these pads skip a beat.
Hmm, EBC are some of the better brake pads between the other two. I have them on my car all around and I warped two sets of stock rotors on them, but I think that's because I was WAY too hard on them. I mean, I would heat them up so much that they would smell so so so bad. Now I have zimmermans and new V4 compound EBCs up front and I have no warpage after 4,000 miles. EBCs customer service is great, too.
Interesting I have EBC pads all round and have not experianced any problems at all. Unlike with the stock pads that had warped the discs with only 22K on the clock. It did give me the excuse to upgrade to the 312mm discs though and EBC Greenpads. A lot less dust and no noticable fade at all now, although I don't do track events.
