Brake pads EBC or OEM FORD

Last set of pads were yellowstuff, they had a nasty bite when low speed braking and whined terribly. Switched to greenstuff, i like them.

Nice middle ground in brake performance, no whine, no low speed bite, no oem shimmy.

Bought reds, burned through them, bought blues, i like them better. A touch more grabby at slow speeds, and slightly more dust, but they held up at an HPDE no problem. The reds did not.

Ebc yellow stuff pads are pretty nice. Got em on my NB. Wouldn’t hurt to replace your pads with those. Break in process asks for new rotors but you can probably get away without em if you really don’t wanna do it, I did.

I put ultimax on my 3, and I can stop on a dime.

For what it's worth, I had the shudder too, it was pad deposits on the rotors. New EBC pads, some hard braking, and it went away.

I just put red stuff on my Stinger GT2 and love them . I also put geo series drilled and slotted rotors. What I will share with you is I had to pull the metal plates off my break pads so that they could fit but other than that their great.

I've been daily driving my SR11 for a year, and almost 10k miles in my Type R. Never had these issues, not even close. As someone else said, I have immediate bite even in zero degree temps. Have tracked them a few times with no issues either. I bought another set for when these eventually wear out, although that is taking a while.

These brand new EBC front pads got a bit cooked on my GR Corolla after a 2-day event at Watkins Glen. She still stopped without any drama at the bus stop, but it's concerning I ran through them this quickly.

I used up a new set of EBC Blues in a single track day, 5 sessions of 20 mins each. They also caused a lot of heat spots on my front rotors.

I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.
