I went with EBC slotted with EBC red pads and it made a total difference in the bite and consistency of the braking on my 7.5.

Pros: better bite, consistency

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I run the dimpled and slotted versions along with EBC yellow pads and they grab WAY better than stock in every comparable way. The initial bite on the pads when cold and hot is significantly better and they resist heat much longer too.

Pros: grab way better, resist heat

I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.

Pros: decent reputation, low dust

Cons: no standard hardware

Vehicle: Audi RS7

I'm currently running EBC yellows which have done me well for daily use(if you don't mind the dust), Autobahn driving, and on Spa and the Nurburgring.

Pros: good for daily use, good for track

Cons: produces dust

Vehicle: Hyundai Veloster

I think ebc blue are pretty good for what you need. Only downsides are that they are dusting a lot and they're going to last only several track day sessions.

Pros: pretty good

Cons: lots of dust, short life
