Brake pads EBC or Carbotech

I have ebc yellowstuff. Brembo rotors. Massive upgrade.

Using red stuff on stock rotors. I like them, but I haven\u2019t been staring at my wheels to get them super clean, so I\u2019d agree with others that it\u2019s NOT MORE dust than oem.

Ebc yellow stuff. I have a QV and these have been recommended on various forums. Have performed great for me.

EBC yellow stuff pads if you actually want to stop.

I use carbotech xp10/8. I don't bother to switch. it makes a bit of noise if I street drive it too much but nothing really bad. it beds back in just fine after one or two warm up laps

XP for track use and 1521 for street. No need to rebed pads. Just swap and go. Carbotech says this and I’ve head zero issue myself doing this

I just switch between track and OEM pads. I can usually get 4 to 5 tracks days out of the Carbotechs that I run. I drive my car to the track, so by the time I get there the track pads have had plenty of time to make friends with the rotors. Same thing with the OEM pads. It just take a little bit of driving for them to settle in.

I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.

I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.

EBC's suck so it's nice they provide a chart with better pad options :)
