Brake pads EBC or DBA

I installed EBC Yellowstuff pads and at first they squeeled every stop. 5K miles later it diminished substantially.

I personally installed your first picture and love them. They have noticeably more “initial bite” when braking and just quicker braking overall. If I remember correctly the EBC Red make less dust than stock.

I have EBC reds with stop tech slotted and drilled rotors.

I got EBC Yellow Stuff. Excellent performance. I haven’t experienced brake fade yet and I drive pretty damn spiritedly on my local backroads. The only con is there’s a shit ton of brake dust

Those look a lot like Ebc green pads with their special break in coating. Not cheap pads by any means

TBF it appears he tried to buy EBC Greenstuff which are great pads and got scammed by Amazon. The red paint is normally a friction enhancing paint to aid faster break in.

EBC pads have break-in compound that cuts the rotor to a clean slate so you can preform the correct breakin procedure, some 160kmh stops to heat up and bake the rotor and pad well

EBC red. Yellow likes to squeal loudly if it isnt warm.

I ordered Red stuff pads off of Amazon, with the car in my garage being a 2023 WRX, and the pads I got did not fit at all. In fact, the box said they were for a 2015/later Legacy.

Also not a fan of the yellowstuff pads, but views are mixed.
