EBC redstuff, stoptech, OEM. All good pads. I think the redstuff pads dust a little less than OEM, but stopping power is really good from the factory for street driving.

I like OEM or stoptech rotors, again street driving.

I don’t tend to get a lot of life out of pads, but so far OEM rotors seem to last as long as 2 sets of pads. I just put on the stoptech rotors last time I did a brake job, so far so good.

Pros: less dust, good stopping power

I use EBC and they're great, the yellows specifically. Very rarely overheat and fade, get better the hotter they are and provide great stopping power.

Pros: great stopping power, rarely fade

I got my front and rear ebc yellow stuff pads from new provisions racing. Installed and fit perfect, increases initial bite with a little bit more noise and definitely more dust. Worth it IMO, stock pads had weak initial bite.

Pros: increased bite, good fit
Cons: more noise, more dust
Vehicle: Subaru

The biggest difference in stopping power for me was installing hawk hps 5.0 pads. I have a lot more confidence driving my prius fast with these pads. I feel like I’m slowing down faster than I ever thought was possible. Honestly have to watch it cuz if you have people behind you they can’t slow down as fast. Someone break checked me today and it was a non issue stopping faster than the car in front of me but I have good tires as well. (avid ascent GT) Only problem with the pads (for gen 3) is they were too thick for me to install both pads with new EBC rotors so I had to rotate the pads in with one old oem and to shave them down (or you can sand them down)

Pros: increased stopping power, more confidence
Cons: pads too thick

EBC Brake pads

I did the Yellowstuff pads and ebc rotors on the back of my ‘17 RS. The one spring on the drivers side didn’t seat properly at first and squealed until I disassembled it and put it in properly.

Cons: squealing

EBC Brake pads

I bought and installed EBC red stuff pads on my stoptech slotted rotors. I also have stainless steel brake lines too. I've had several techs tell me my brakes are fine, but I literally can push the brake pedal to the floor in some cases, including the highway. It stays like that for a while too as I'll be driving at 60+ mph, go to stop and it has a long bit of travel. I will even pump up the brake pedal while at red lights and stop signs just to get some more bite but I feel like I might fuck up the master cylinder doing this enough. The fluid was flushed less than 6 months ago, but I feel like I need to switch to a better pad if this is actually the issue. I felt like my ABS wasn't even going off at one point due to these pads, or that I had some trapped air in my lines.

Cons: Brake pedal goes to the floor, long travel
