Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

I went with EBC Red stuff pads just waiting on rotors.

The EBC pads (Red) that I installed 6 months or so ago have never made a peep at any time. They seemed to fit snugly in the calipers. Very happy with them mated to Zimmermann drilled rotors.

Lol paid £170 for my front brakes last week and did them myself. EBC's too.

Have a look at EBC, their “red stuff” pads work really well on my car and were nowhere near that price.

I thought I had a bleed/bore issue because my hydro wouldn't lock up under full force, turns out the stock style break pads were not sufficient to lock it up (even though stock pads work to lock rear wheels on foot brake). I switched over to Hawk HP+ pads and that did the trick for me.

I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.

No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.

They feel amazing and the braking power is noticeably increased but they create an incredible amount of corrosive dust and make a really terrible high pitched noise on occasion under light braking.

I tried blue stuff and wasn't impressed at all, I burned through them in a day.

I've had very bad experiences with EBC pads and yes they were genuine.
