Brake pads EBC or OEM Subaru
The EBC RP-1 pads seem to have good road manners.
I have the performance pack, went with OEM rotors and EBC red stuff pads.
I installed EBC Yellowstuff pads and at first they squeeled every stop. 5K miles later it diminished substantially.
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
Reacquainting with traditional brakes felt strange. Kept releasing the accelerator, expecting it to brake. Takes getting used to.
EBC street pads are nothing special.
I burned EBC Blues up in a single day, decided they weren't up to it.
