Brake pads EBC or Carbotech

EBC Brake pads

I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.

Pros: fine for daily use
Cons: occasionally touchy
Vehicle: Kia

EBC Brake pads

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.

Pros: great street pad, good for autocross
Cons: poor street manners, not for track
Vehicle: Mercedes

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.

Pros: survived 6 days at track

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.

Pros: great pads and discs, solid
Cons: Brembos warped
Vehicle: Dodge

EBC Brake 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'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.

Pros: good initial bite
Cons: awful brake fade, noisy
