Brake pads EBC or Ferodo

I upgraded to ebh yellows from stock, they are affordable, huge braking improvement in pedal feel, if your in a cold climate id avoid ceramics.

I changed over to ebc yellows for a track day and still have them on 1.5 years later.. LOTS of brake dust but the stopping power is night and day.

I’ve ran the DS3.12... in my cayman. I get 15+ days on them... I like the harder bite from the Ferodos

Ferodo 2500 they are a (race pad) but work absolutely fine if you do daily driving I’ve had them for almost 6 months now and I’ve 4 track days along with daily driving and they have held up great

Ferodo ds 1.11 on my cayman GTS 4.0 seem to last a long time. 1 weekend at COTA which is very brake abusive plus another 3-4 weekends at a less brake intensive track. I drive them to/from the track and swap to ferodo ds2500 for street duty.

yellow stuff pads (crazy good)

I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.

I switched to the Ferodo DSUno. I am satisfied with its performance, but they seem to struggle because of something. Today, after the track day on Saturday, I checked it and found a crack and a gnawed edge. Also, they have uneven wear, about 0.5-1mm difference. The differences are between the top and bottom parts of the pads, front and back parts and on different sides of the same rotor (inner and outer pads). Uneven wear was with the old pads as well. Recently, I installed brake air ducts, and after going out from the track, the temperature was, in the worst case, 480C degree, which looks fine for these pads. In total, I drove for about 3 hours on tracks, one on a wet track (so no hard braking) and two moderately/hard(8-9/10) braking. The brake rotors are also new, Zimmermann blank, installed with pads. The initial thickness of the pads is 16.4mm (with the plate, the plate is 5.5mm, so the "pure" pad is about 11mm) Currently, I have eaten about 4.5-5mm of the pads in 3 hours of tracking.

I have had nothing but bad luck with EBC pads on numerous cars.

I ate through EBC blues and had terrible brake fade. Zero fade on G-loc R8 lap after lap standing on the brakes at 130 on the back straight at midOhio
