Brake pads EBC or Carbotech

I used EBC Redstuff pads, absolutely love them.

If I was set on EBC pads, I’d get the green stuff as they give the best feel, don’t suffer from long run in times and squeal when cold and wet.

Go with ebc yellowstuff. If you like to drive a little hard. Changing the brakes on these cars is very easy by the way.

Saved thousands and now have EBC breaks and rotors with red stuff , better performance way less money and installed from a highly recommended local shop!

What's the current pad thickness? I'm about to install EBC Yellowstuff pads and new rotors on my Allroad. I've had Redstuff pads on lots of previous cars and found it was a great compound for low dust and better braking performance over the factory semi-metallic pads. I mostly use Yellowstuff nowadays simply because I like the way they brake (sharp bite, no fade on the street). But they are super dusty.

I did the brakes and rotors myself for $300. Ebc brakes all day.

I currently have EBC Blues on my BBK and they are pretty quiet and way better than the yellows, for sprinted driving or mountain carving I def recommend the blues over the yellows. Yellows were also obnoxiously annoying. Only downside is they eat through rotors pretty quickly, and the brake dust can be pretty corrosive and damage the finish on your wheels.

The last set of pads I used on those rotors was EBC Yelowstuff Truck pads. They were awesome but wore out in 20kmi and squeaked like hell. They also completely ate my Brake Performance rotors. Holy cow they stopped good but, never again.

The EBC blues are not track pads... Despite how they market them. Once they cool from behind very hot they glaze over...

I wouldn’t run redstuff pads for autocross. I have, and they didn’t do so well.
