I drove pretty damn hard all 3 sessions in the novice group passing all kind of faster cars that I didn’t expect to. I had minimal brake fade and a light pulsation developing later in the session after long straights but never came close to an “oh shit” moment. I was pleasantly surprised the next day when I inspected the brakes and found the pads around 2/32nds and the rotors well above minimum spec. I expected to go metal to metal before the end of the day.
Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows.
I've been happy with my EBC pads
I am currently running EBC Yellowstuffs that i installed last winter and i have now gone 10k km and they have 2-3mm of pad left on the front. I really really like their performance and don’t really mind the wear.
Big fan of ebc, run red stuff pads on any of my vehicles that they are made for.
Brakes the pads are cheap enough with EBC yellow around 150$ am axle.
But it looks like the prices doubled, crazy.
Pads are great though.
Seems a bit sus - but it's not unusual for rear pads to wear faster than front on certain cars. My Ford Flex and CX-50 both wear pads faster out back (it made sense on the Flex because of long wheelbase but was surprised the 50 did it too). That said they should last twice as long.
Not a fan of EBC, had yellow and blew through them in one track session.
Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
