Brake pads EBC or OEM Toyota

My EBC reds say to use pads easy for 200 miles. Then do 4-5 hard stops from 50 mph

Others like EBC have specific procedures for heating and cooling the brakes to make them to the surface.

I put some EBC Yellow pads on for a track day and have been enjoying them on the street since.

EBC Yellowstuff and Cquence rotors. Top notch stopping power.

I ran the EBC BlueStuff NDX. They are a great track pad but also didn’t feel like a track pad when driving on the street. They have decent cold bite and we’re very quiet for me.

I replaced my Mk6 stock pads with EBC RedStuff and love them (better feel under hard braking and practically no dust).

2012 Prius, 202k miles, still with original brakes.

2017 Prius Prime, 110k miles, still with original brakes.

Both inspected annually by our mechanic. Both still going strong.

I run EBC yellows on a heavy car (Kia Stinger GT) and they do ok. The problem with TNiA events (especially the novice group), there's usually A LOT of traffic, and no one is pushing the limit into braking zones.

I’ve driven roughly 150 miles and I’ve done EBC’s suggested bed in process. But they’re still squealing when I’m coasting from 0-40mph. The squealing sounds like the wear indicator rubbing on the rotor, but they’re brand new and nowhere close to the rotor. Do they take longer to bed in? The squealing is really high pitched and annoying

I tried them on the track years ago. Junk!
