Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

EBC red is a great street and auto X pad. It’s not a trackpad. EBC Blue is entry-level track and well it technically can be used on the street. Its manners are pretty poor.

The Reds are designed for streets applications. They will be a much better pad on a daily driver that goes to auto cross or mountain roads.

Running Hawk DTC 30s on a Mustang (3800 lbs with me) both front and rear. I brake hard and the car is heavy. The pads don't glaze nor fade. Wear is OK.

I daily DTC-60s and they're surprisingly not that noisy.

I am stock turbo FBO (engine wise) FiST, switched from Powerstop Trac Day Spec to Hawk DTC-60 with good results.

EBC makes great pads and discs. Have them on my NB and they've been solid for like two or three years now after the Brembos warped themselves.

The EBC RP-1 pads seem to have good road manners.

I have the performance pack, went with OEM rotors and EBC red stuff pads.

Im about to change my rotors for the second time with some fresh EBC blue stuff pads. If you plan on putting any heat into the brakes, just be ready for hot spots on the rotor and for the rotor to be toast.

I ordered Red stuff pads off of Amazon, with the car in my garage being a 2023 WRX, and the pads I got did not fit at all. In fact, the box said they were for a 2015/later Legacy.

Also not a fan of the yellowstuff pads, but views are mixed.
