Brake pads EBC or Carbotech
I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.
No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.
EBC red is a great street and auto X pad. It’s not a trackpad. EBC Blue is entry-level track and well it technically can be used on the street. Its manners are pretty poor.
The Reds are designed for streets applications. They will be a much better pad on a daily driver that goes to auto cross or mountain roads.
I'm using carbotech xp8 on my 3800 pound sedan. They've survived 6 days at the track plus occasional driving around town for a year.
EBC makes great pads and discs. Have them on my NB and they've been solid for like two or three years now after the Brembos warped themselves.
The EBC RP-1 pads seem to have good road manners.
I have the performance pack, went with OEM rotors and EBC red stuff pads.
I just picked up a set of Bluestuff NDX pads for my front. Haven't swapped yet but I'm sure they'll suffice since I'm not trying to win my class or set lap records
I had EBC on my GT4, 10000 km and 3-4 track days and they were out.
I'm jumping in here on red stuff EBCs. They're good for initial bite but have awful brake fade on light applications and are noisy as hell. I've pulled the rears off twice to smear the backing plate in grease just to keep them quiet. Probably should've just replaced them entirely. Not worth.
