Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

EBC pads have break-in compound that cuts the rotor to a clean slate so you can preform the correct breakin procedure, some 160kmh stops to heat up and bake the rotor and pad well

Ebc green stuffs, great performing pad. Run them in one of my current cars as well as many previous cars. they’ve all been noisy and dusty but have held up to track days just fine.

EBC pads are awesome and definitely not cheap. That is a special break in coating that EBC uses. I’ve had several sets and been very happy with them although I do get a little squeak with the yellow stuff.

Front - OEM rotors, check Lexus parts too, same same, with Hawk Heavy Duty pads. Rear - Centric or OEM rotors and oem pads. Fluid - Pentosin DOT 4 Low Viscosity brake fluid. Full fluid change every brake job.

Go to Summit Racing order EBC new rotor and pad kit and thank me later.

I don't trust most shops to do the right thing with brake work. I have run the EBC stuff on Avalon and GS350 as well as many motorcycles.... Great product get street oriented pads for long life.

Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads, Motul 5.1 fluid. Initial bite is as good as if not better than stock, but they seem to get much stronger with some heat in them. Biggest plus is the massive decrease in brake dust.

I run EBC yellows on a heavy car (Kia Stinger GT) and they do ok. The problem with TNiA events (especially the novice group), there's usually A LOT of traffic, and no one is pushing the limit into braking zones.

Took the Swift for a spirited drive down the horseshoe pass today, by the bottom the brakes stank, pedal went soft and stopping power became dangerously weak. Drove it softly for a mile or so and they were back to normal and I could lock the wheels again.

I personally had a terrible time with EBC brakes especially the yellow stuff. A month of daily driving and one track day had the pads so low they actually slipped out of the calipers while I was driving, customer support swore up and down I installed them wrong and it’s my fault. I put project mu hybrid pads on next and I’ve been out on 6 different tracks days and a year of driving and there is still 5mm of pad life left.
