Brake pads EBC or Mintex

I have ebc yellow in my c5 and very much prefer them over the hawk street 5.0 I had before. No issues with fade at any point.

I ran EBC yellows at PittRace on my Golf R and they held up fine.

EBC yellows are completely fine. I used them when I tracked my Gen coupe and never had an issue. Dusty as shit, but I liked em for the track.

I drove pretty damn hard all 3 sessions in the novice group passing all kind of faster cars that I didn’t expect to. I had minimal brake fade and a light pulsation developing later in the session after long straights but never came close to an “oh shit” moment. I was pleasantly surprised the next day when I inspected the brakes and found the pads around 2/32nds and the rotors well above minimum spec. I expected to go metal to metal before the end of the day.

Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows.

Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.

I've been happy with my EBC pads

So far I've ordered EBC Yellow Stuff pads (I've heard mixed reviews but the best alternatives seemed to be ~$500 a set so these will have to do)

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.

I wouldn’t recommend EBC red stuff. They have been incredibly dusty, for me anyways.
