Brake pads EBC or OEM Mazda
The EBC RPX pads are their race ones and are incredibly good for the price. They last a long time and have serious bite. I have these paired with their fully floating rotors and callipers and have not had a single issue in a year of tracking my e46 m3.
I run EBC Redstuff pads, the brake dust is very minimal.
they held up fantastic. I drove to the track, and drive home after the track day; no issues.
Got a 22 brz and use ebc yellow the old formulation on a technical short track without issues.
I have ebc yellow in my c5 and very much prefer them over the hawk street 5.0 I had before. No issues with fade at any point.
I ran EBC yellows at PittRace on my Golf R and they held up fine.
EBC yellows are completely fine. I used them when I tracked my Gen coupe and never had an issue. Dusty as shit, but I liked em for the track.
My cx9 was at 3mm on the rears at 52k. Get a caliper compression kit and it yourself. It's not very hard. I did my rears a month back in my driveway for $130.
the brakes on the VB are pretty bad with zero bite in the first few inches of brake travel. I’ve had the past 2 generations on WRXs for OEM brake comparison. Ordered a full set of EBC Ulitmax2 OEM replacement pads to help a bit.
Mazda brakes are notoriously shit. They’re garbage. Buy a set of PowerStop brakes and be done with it. They’re far superior to the Mazda brakes. Go on any forum and you’ll see countless people having the same issue as you. New brakes between 15-20,000 miles. Me included. I’ve owned 2 6s from new. Both needed brakes around 20,000 miles. Both times I put on PowerStops and never had another issue.
