I went with Genracer’s offering of EBC red stuff pads and EBC oe replacement rotors. The price was very reasonable and I don’t track the car, only do some spirited driving. So far I like them but LOVE the reduced brake dust.

Pros: reasonable price, reduced brake dust

I have tried EBC yellowstuff and Ferodo DS2500. EBC yellowstuff won't handle anything on track...they just melt, they arent bad for the price but I prefer the DS2500.

Pros: good price

Cons: melts on track

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.

Cons: used up quickly, heat spots

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.

Pros: better than OEM

Cons: OEM pads suck

Mileage: 70000 km
