Brake pads EBC or Mintex

Last week I got R1 Concept drilled & slotted with EBC RedStuff brake pads. This is my 2nd set of redstuff pads. Did about 40k miles on the first set with no squeal or shakes.

The steel lines are great addition. The EBC pads add significant bite, but I did warp my stock rotor with a full weekend at Road Atlanta. Put a Galfer rotor on there.

I just changed my oem rear pads to them after 160,000km and it works well without any vibrations.

I’m now 500 miles into the EBC Redstuff brake pads I recently installed. It was kind of dicey at first, like “did I make a bad move?” dicey. Very rough stopping in the first 50 miles, then just mildly rough for another 150 or so. The good news is that stopping is buttery smooth now that the pads are fully bedded in. Just smooth as silk.

I went with ebc green as red was overkill for red is less dust and heavier cars from my understanding. The greens do me just fine as i dont beat my vb from point a to point b all the time.

Yellow stuff. If you don't track they're the better value. Less dust on your wheels, they'll perform in the cold better

I got red EBC performance brakes for like $150. Installed myself. No shaking. Handles very well. Fits perfect.

I have ebc reds. I still get lots of brake dust and I prefer the bite of oem pads more. Not to say reds are bad, they just didn't meet my expectations for a daily.

I burned through a set in 1 day in my WRX, then tried EBC blues and also burned through a set of those in one day.

If you’re going to run lap after lap they don’t hold up.
