Brake pads EBC or Ferodo
Brake job coming up this weekend. New rotors (Centric blanks, OEM size) are still in transit to my door... but here's the good stuff. Ferodo DS2500 brake pads and RBS600.
I'm running EBC RedStuff and I'm a fan of them. I probably see the canyons twice a week and they've held up very well in those conditions. Also almost no noise. The only time there's a bit of squeezing is for a bit in the morning when it's cold.
EBC Greenstuff 2000 series. Or the EBC Redstuff series if you're a very spirited driver. But the greenstuff should be plenty effective even if you are a spirited driver. The dust production is very minimal and very easy to wipe off by hand without any cleaner
Planing on going with the green stuff brake pads. 20% off! Sale ends today guys.
Personally I use EBC "Green Stuff" pads and am pretty happy with them.
i went with EBC Grenstuff pads and stock/oem pagent brand discs, brake fade was an issue before but now is non existant, also pad dust is less of an issue and it doesnt seem to stick to the wheels as badly as the stock Bmw pads that were fitted before. All in i would definately fit them again theyve made a marked improvement on stopping distance, they were £60 for a front pair and i went with oem on the rears.
Current Upgrades EBC Yellow Stuff Ceramic Brake Pads
I ran with Ferodo DS2500s. They work incredibly well for light track use (my street tires overheat before the brakes ever fade), they are dead silent, and, somehow, very low dust. They are more expensive than most other pads though and probably excessive for most people in their capabilities.
I've had the the Red Stuff pads on mine for a few years now, and I doubt i'll get them again. They're a good pad with low dust, but they take a lot of heat before they feel "right". They don't like cold rotors. It's like they're happier after a panic stop or track time. On the street, they're just too aggressive for normal city/highway driving.
StopTech slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads. Rotors and pads have one track day on them and a few thousand commuting miles. My OEM rotors with the same brand pads lasted 4-5 track days and 30k miles.
