I personally installed your first picture and love them. They have noticeably more “initial bite” when braking and just quicker braking overall. If I remember correctly the EBC Red make less dust than stock.
I have EBC reds with stop tech slotted and drilled rotors.
I got EBC Yellow Stuff. Excellent performance. I haven’t experienced brake fade yet and I drive pretty damn spiritedly on my local backroads. The only con is there’s a shit ton of brake dust
Those look a lot like Ebc green pads with their special break in coating. Not cheap pads by any means
TBF it appears he tried to buy EBC Greenstuff which are great pads and got scammed by Amazon. The red paint is normally a friction enhancing paint to aid faster break in.
EBC pads have break-in compound that cuts the rotor to a clean slate so you can preform the correct breakin procedure, some 160kmh stops to heat up and bake the rotor and pad well
Ebc green stuffs, great performing pad. Run them in one of my current cars as well as many previous cars. they’ve all been noisy and dusty but have held up to track days just fine.
EBC red. Yellow likes to squeal loudly if it isnt warm.
Took the Swift for a spirited drive down the horseshoe pass today, by the bottom the brakes stank, pedal went soft and stopping power became dangerously weak. Drove it softly for a mile or so and they were back to normal and I could lock the wheels again.
I personally had a terrible time with EBC brakes especially the yellow stuff. A month of daily driving and one track day had the pads so low they actually slipped out of the calipers while I was driving, customer support swore up and down I installed them wrong and it’s my fault. I put project mu hybrid pads on next and I’ve been out on 6 different tracks days and a year of driving and there is still 5mm of pad life left.
