Brake pads EBC or OEM KIA

I am on my second Kia vehicle, and they both have been amazing. 100k miles on my optima when it was totaled, and only thing ever replaced were the brakes at like 80k miles, besides regular oil changes.

EBC red stuff or Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Both are better performing than stock and create less dust.

On the 63S I spend 150 each Brembo rotor and 180$ EBC redstuff pads, hardware 10$, sensor 8$. These things are silly easy to do on the rear.

I have Speigler stainless lines, EBC pads, and Motion 5.1 fluid in mine.

I've only replaced my break pads twice and one new pair of car tires.

Get the EBC RedStuff kit from FCP. I've had them on several cars and it's exactly what you describe. They held up to some AutoCross as well.

I always used EBC black organic pads; I tried HH pads briefly a few times but never liked the feel, especially in the rain.

As an EBC Red owner myself. These pads are not built for abuse. Like at all. They're a sporty street pad at best.

I am on their RP-1 pads but I get terrible vibrations after they get heated. I suspect its because I didnt change rotors from my previous pads. I just thought they'd be rebedded after a few hard stops with the new pads.

Kia Sportage SUV, brakes locked up about 2K miles in, shop "fixed" it, the next week it literally spontaneously combusted in the wee hours of the morning.
