Brake pads EBC or OEM Honda

My EBC reds say to use pads easy for 200 miles. Then do 4-5 hard stops from 50 mph

Others like EBC have specific procedures for heating and cooling the brakes to make them to the surface.

I am easy on brakes. I coast to stops and don't speed either. I have a 2009 Fit. I swapped the front pads and rotors at 120,000 miles just because. They totally did not need to be swapped. I have since put 97,000 miles on the replacement pads and rotors. The ceramic pads I installed have plenty of life left. The rotors are near the end, but still work.

I put 68k on my 21 accord in about 2 years. Pads were all at 7mm. 80 percent highway, 20 percent city.

I put some EBC Yellow pads on for a track day and have been enjoying them on the street since.

EBC Yellowstuff and Cquence rotors. Top notch stopping power.

I ran the EBC BlueStuff NDX. They are a great track pad but also didn’t feel like a track pad when driving on the street. They have decent cold bite and we’re very quiet for me.

I've used Yellowstuff on my E36s at various tracks. They're perfectly ok.

I bought and installed EBC red stuff pads on my stoptech slotted rotors. I also have stainless steel brake lines too. I've had several techs tell me my brakes are fine, but I literally can push the brake pedal to the floor in some cases, including the highway. It stays like that for a while too as I'll be driving at 60+ mph, go to stop and it has a long bit of travel. I will even pump up the brake pedal while at red lights and stop signs just to get some more bite but I feel like I might fuck up the master cylinder doing this enough. The fluid was flushed less than 6 months ago, but I feel like I need to switch to a better pad if this is actually the issue. I felt like my ABS wasn't even going off at one point due to these pads, or that I had some trapped air in my lines.
