Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

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.

my strategy when I started to run into a similar type of problem (brake pads disintegrating and eating my budget) was to go to endurance race pads - for me the Hawk ER1 pads seem to be working well.

I use Hawk Blue pads, they brake great and don't wear out.

yellow stuff pads (crazy good)

I recently put Hawk Performance Ceramics (yellow box) on my FL5 for daily driving to combat the insane amount of brake dust that OEM pads have. So far they feel really good! They seem to have an initial bite that is a little more aggressive than the OEM pads, but still have good modulation. FWIW I live in the south and I haven't yet driven them in cold temps. I've read that ceramics can have a weaker initial bite when temps are near freezing but I haven't had a chance to evaluate that.

EBC brakes are great. They have rotors and pads. The Ultimax pads are the best street pads with low dust.

New EBC/TRW pads, rotors and calipers front and back. New super dot fluid, several ABS bleed procedures, new clutch master and new slave cylinder. I put a new German/OE brake booster hose that attaches to the manifold. The new one tightened the pedal up for sure but it still stops slowly with decent pressure on the pedal

I run EBC Yellowstuff on mine and while the dust factor kinda sucks imo, it’s not that bad all things considered

EBC yellow. I once fitted shit pads because it's all I could get hold of when I needed them. I completely used a set of rear pads in 1 trip to wales and experienced what total brake fade feels like on a Welsh mountain with a fully loaded Land Rover and it wasn't fun.

Hawk 5.0 were squeaky as hell.
