Brake pads EBC or OEM Subaru

EBC Brake pads

EBC pads and rotors are good for normal or amateur competition use. As any other, just needs good bed in procedure. Their rotors are not drilled, which is great for normal street cars.

Pros: good for competition use
Cons: needs bed in procedure

I went in for a 30k service (2021 Ascent) and mentioned the brake judder and warranty extension. They confirmed and ordered the parts (pads and rotors), awaiting parts now but it seems it will be all be covered.

Pros: warranty covered

Mileage: 30000 km

I use ebc pads and rotors. I don't see the point in spending hundreds or thousands more for galfer and the latest cool shit

Those are very good EBC pads, they also don’t destroy rotors. I will warn you that a brake bedding is absolutely critical with those. They very much rely on the transfer layer for better stopping performance and to not destroy your rotors. Thankfully, usually within 2 to 3 laps they have enough heat in them that you’re able to get a good transfer layer going.

Pros: good EBC pads
Cons: brake bedding critical
Vehicle: BMW

I switched to EBC Redstuff ceramics and am very happy. They’re quiet and the dust is light, and not brown. I think the performance is very comparable to OEM.

Pros: quiet, light dust

EBC redstuff. Very low dust. Similar feel to OEM pads but maybe slightly less initial bite.

Pros: very low dust
Cons: less initial bite

I just picked up a set of Bluestuff NDX pads for my front. Haven't swapped yet but I'm sure they'll suffice since I'm not trying to win my class or set lap records

Because they are. Best thing to do is buy some EBC pads and better rotors. I don't know what color pads EBC to get. I'm planning to do my brakes as well soon and we'll start researching.

Cons: poor brakes
Vehicle: Subaru

Be careful when buying brakes for the Stinger, if you buy anything cheaper than the originals you'll get a nasty judder within a couple thousand miles! I had to replace the disc and pads with EBC Yellow to get rid of it. The judder was awful.

Cons: nasty judder, awful
