Brake pads EBC or OEM FORD
I did EBC red stuff and replaced pads all around at ~50k miles. My rotors weren't bad at all so I kept the old ones on. My pads coulda gone a few more years also. No complaints!
Slotted are ok drilled are not going to hold up to daily driving. I tried stopteh , ebc and brembo all cracked at the drill points prematurely. I have a 2009 crew cab sport and use it to tow a Dodge Viper. EBC slotted and greens are what I use and have gotten the best mileage out of that pairing. The original mopar brakes lasted the longest but the greens decrease braking distance when towing IMO.
I run yellows and they are brilliant. The stopping distance is about 50% more. Been doing a fair bit of miles and they dont seem to be wearing out excessively. I wouldnt go for anything more aggressive for daily use though you need cold stopping power for when somone pull into your lane during long motorway trips in the rain.
My oem S6 6 piston brembos with EBC redstuff pads are great
I just did brakes on my '13 S4, went with EBC OE Rotors and their Red Stuff pads. The red stuff is definitely low dust compared to the crap stock pads. Very grippy on initial bite and totally silent no squealing.
Switched to EBC red fronts. A bit surprised over the dust level comparing it to previous MK7 GTIs and GLIs I had them on. Seems close to OEM pad dust on the MK8s
I have EBC Greens on my '95 miata with 80k miles and 3mm on each corner due to spirited driving.
I upgraded to the yellows from stock pads and they held up fine but they were getting hot and I could smell them in my first session.
I hate EBC. People recommended their pads for dual duty track and daily. Lol they’re not good at all. Hawk, Ferodo, and Endless over EBC any day of the damn week.
I’ve driven roughly 150 miles and I’ve done EBC’s suggested bed in process. But they’re still squealing when I’m coasting from 0-40mph. The squealing sounds like the wear indicator rubbing on the rotor, but they’re brand new and nowhere close to the rotor. Do they take longer to bed in? The squealing is really high pitched and annoying
