Brake pads EBC or Carbotech

EBC Brake pads

Get you some Nitto NT555s, Caltracs traction bars, steeda lowering springs, GT500 swaybars, GT500 Fuel Pump, and a good set of brake rotors and pads from either Powerstop or EBC.

Pros: good brake rotors and pads

Carbotech Brake pads

I had an issue with severe brake dust from the OEM pads on my Z06 Corvette. I replaced the pads with Carbotech 1521s and the dust was eliminated. Made a huge difference with keeping the wheels clean and the pads preformed better.

Pros: dust was eliminated, pads preformed better
Cons: severe brake dust
Part number: 1521S

EBC Brake pads

Since most pads won't even get that close to the edge, i wouldn't have thought twice about mounting it. Sure, i would check if it IS touching, but i really doubt it.

Front brakes and tyres you can replace if you feel they are not adequate. I replaced Tyre to protorq extreme and front pad to ebc fa209hh

Pros: replaced tyre, replaced pad
Cons: stock not adequate
Part number: FA209HH

I drive a Twingo rs at the moment, with ebc yellow brakes and they are fine enough for the money. Also had them on my previous car a turbo mx5 and they did the job.

Pros: fine for money, did the job
Vehicle: Renault Twingo

I tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.

They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.

Pros: marginally better than OE, okay for autocross
Cons: high dust production, not hard bite, not for track
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

I burned through a set of EBC brakes, they dont last long and they have a lot more dust than ceramic Brembo pads.

Cons: don't last long, more dust
