EBC Brake pads

  • Dust:
Rating 4.0

I used Redstuff on my MKV. Low dust, good bite, no noise except sometimes in the cold using light application. I drive mostly suburban traffic. Pads didn't eat the rotors. They are a ceramic pad (unless EBC changed the formulation recently) so not to be used for track days.

Pros: low dust, good bite
Cons: noisy when cold
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I use these pads. They only make noise when its really cold out. After I drive/brake for a few minutes the noise goes away. I use these pads because I have white wheels. I get roughly an extra week and a half before my wheels look really bad. That alone was worth it to me. Rotors still look fine as well. Hope this helps.

Pros: wheels look good longer
Cons: noisy when cold

I used them on the street and in autocross on my '79 RX-7 and would agree that they were noisy and dusty on the street - the dust also ate through the finish on my wheels on that car. I didn't have fade issues with them, but that car was light and not very powerful, so it wasn't very hard on brakes.

Pros: no fade issues
Cons: noisy and dusty
Vehicle: Mazda

EBC Brake pads

We had really bad luck with EBC yellows, had a pad seperate from the backing plate, then the next set warped after one track day. Never again.

Cons: pad seperate, warped
