Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

I have ebc yellowstuff. Brembo rotors. Massive upgrade.

Using red stuff on stock rotors. I like them, but I haven\u2019t been staring at my wheels to get them super clean, so I\u2019d agree with others that it\u2019s NOT MORE dust than oem.

Ebc yellow stuff. I have a QV and these have been recommended on various forums. Have performed great for me.

EBC yellow stuff pads if you actually want to stop.

I run Hawk HPS 5.0 on the street and just pad slap DTC-60 / 30 front / rear and it works fine.

The racing shop that does the work on my track car picked out Hawk HPS 5.0 pads for me for this same purpose. They worked great on the track and don't have much more noise than a factory pad.

I'm only in HPDE2, though, so my track evaluation may not mean much. They were definitely an improvement over the stock pads I used in the previous track outing.

I have run the EBC RP-1s and currently am on the RP-X. The 1s were fine/no issues I just didnt like the lower Mu (less bite). These are a 1400+ deg F pad. I used them on street between track events without issue.

These brand new EBC front pads got a bit cooked on my GR Corolla after a 2-day event at Watkins Glen. She still stopped without any drama at the bus stop, but it's concerning I ran through them this quickly.

I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.

after about halfway through the second session I began to feel a fluttering under hard braking. Some light shaking of the steering wheel. No noticeable pulling left or right. No noticeable brake fade.

Fast forward to the next day. I noticed this black gunk on my front pads. The rears look good as new.

Under normal conditions my Hawk-30 pads squeak. Now I am noticing a rhythmic squeaking when I brake at street speeds.
