I have had EBC brakes for two years now with zero problems other than the ticking sound from the air hitting the dimples.

I currently have EBC Yellowstuff in the front and EBC Redstuff in the rear, so I should have a little more front bias.

About a year ago I replaced my stock (inexpensive) rotors and pads with ATE rotors and EBC greenstuff pads. They seemed like a great combo, they reduced my stopping distance by quite a bit.

New brake pads and rotors (EBC Greenstuff + DBA drilled/slotted rotors) All suspension components in good shape

EBC Green Stuff pads.

I'm happy with EBC red, better braking by less fade but I don't know if can be much better with other combinations

I have the ebc greenstuff on my corrado and they are great, never dusty

I ran the SCCA PDX on June 15 on the Summit Point Main Circuit. The burning brake smell that several other drivers remarked on turned out to be the stench of my EBC reds and stock rear pads decomposing.

i had a set of EBC greens a few years ago that cracked and actually separated themselves from the metal backing plate.
