Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

I use Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Definitely an improvement over stock and I haven’t had any issues with dust.

I kept stock rotors and just upgraded the pads to EBC RedStuff. From my internet searching, I determined that rotors weren't worth it unless I planned on tracking the car, which I don't. Someone else mentioned noise in comparing Red vs Yellow, and that was part of what swayed me toward Red (I think Red also has a longer life and/or less dust).

Depending on the track the factory pads may be adequate for your first day, but a more aggressive and higher temp pad would be my recommendation because nothing will up the "pucker factor" like your brake pedal going to the floor. A pad like the Hawk HPS 5.0 is what I'd consider to be minimally acceptable for street tires on an average track. I'm a big fan of GLOC pads and I can confirm their R8 compound on all 4 corners works great on the GTI/R/A3/S3 for street tires.

Replaced both brake pads with fresh new EBC Redstuff and ecstuning ss lines.

I ran ebc yellow stuff pads on my civic. Would recommend the street version which is green I think. OEM rotors are fine, no need for anything fancy.

I currently have EBC Redstuff on my 2017 VW Sportwagen 4motion and are pleased with the results compared to stock.

I've replaced the stock proportioning valve with an adjustable one and have ebc yellows on the back with no name shit pads on the front.

EBC Yellowstuff or Bluestuff pads and cheap iron rotors would be more than plenty for an AW-11.

I have the epfa pads on my ‘17 r6. More power than my stock pads but not crazy in bite or max power imo. I’m a mid pack b group rider at best so yrmv. However, important to note, I took a trip to deals gap this fall and crossed the skyway in a cold light rain (45°f?) and the pads were not happy. First time I grabbed the lever and they had 15% of the power I was expecting, and took a solid 2 secs to build enough heat to do anything.

EBC yellow lasted on track day, garbage in my opinion, running Carbotech pads now, first pad that lasted a whole day at Limerock, no fade , good bite all day.
