Brake pads EBC or OEM Toyota

Stoptech Slotted Rotors, EBC Redstuff pads

EBC red is great. I hated Hawk HPS for the same reason, especially in the winter.

EBC red with Girodisc rotors has been working really well for me so far.

My pad in recent years has been EBC red. Better initial bite than OEM, no fade, no dust, no noise. If you track, EBC yellow might be a better choice but they tend to squeal at low speed. My only negative opinion is Hawk HPS which had scary bad initial bite when cold. They were OK after a few stops.

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.

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 went with the APR rotors and EBC Yellow pads all around, which are supposedly track oriented. The rotors are good, but remember that any type of slotted or drilled rotors will be hard on pads than smooth rotors. EBC Yellows are the recommended pads for light track use. I did two track days and put on about 5k miles. The pads are slow to grab on the street, meaning that they need to warm up before heavy braking.

Honestly, I think ebc hh are overpriced hot garbage.
