Brake pads EBC or OEM Nissan

Stoptech brake discs and EBC brake oads.

I liked the feel of EBC Yellow better but everyone bags on EBC and they were dustier than the Hawks.

i have an 80zx with an sbc swap, i’ve rebuilt all 4 brakes, replaced a master, swapped coiled did bushings replaced u joints

Ebc Red Stuff. They are a little milder than Yellow but still high performance. I can get a 20 min track session with limited fade. Although once I forgot to turn stability control off and they faded very badly after about 10 min. Less dusty than stock setup.

I used Corrado G60 hubs (still retaining 4x100 lug pattern) Corrado 4-wheel ABS system paired to adapters to run 11.8" 4piston Mercedes Benz front brakes with Yellowstuff EBC race compound pads and 10.2" rear discs with Hawk HPS pads. This brake configuration to mass ratio was already an upgrade on the 4800# donor car, here they are absolutely insane on a sub 3000# Mk1 Cabriolet.

Agree w/ all above especially EBC red pads. I put in performance rotors (blank, not drilled or slotted though) but not necessary. Just wanted a clean slate for the pads. But the final piece of the puzzle is to run higher performance tires.

The Red stuff pads, no squeaking, rubbing, noise, cracking or uneven wear.

My budget brake setup was getting EBC slotted rotors front and rear, but getting 286mm rear rotors, you can install them by using volkswagen CC rear caliper brackets if your car has 272mm stock rear rotors. I also have EBC red stuff pads all around, they do get pretty dusty though.

I'm running EBC Yellows on my 15 WRX now, so similar in curb weight. Not great for a daily IMO. They squeal pretty bad and the dust build up is pretty significant. Have about 15K miles and 2 autocrosses on them and they perform great. Good bite when cold and even better if they get warmed up.

I wouldn't; it could throw off braking performance ... like now your rear pads bite harder than your front. Plus your front do most of the work.
