Brake pads EBC or OEM Volvo

Ebc redstuff pads and dba rotors are what I run and I love it. The pads do squeak a little sometimes but only if you’re real soft on the brakes

For Autox - why not Yellowstuff. They are a great street/autoX pad in my experience. Reds are horrible to me/not worth buying. Also Ferodo DS2500 is a good all-arounder.

Red stuff I find amazing at auto Crossing + daily driving. Low dust, no noise a great street performance pad. Absolutely not meant for track use.

EBC Ultimax produces much less dust than YellowStuff. If you like cleaning wheels constantly...And Ultimax performs very, very well.I used to use YellowStuff for autocross events, on three different cars (Mazda 2, Focus S and NC Miata).

I have some lighter rear rotors that are OEM sized saved 5lbs along with stainless brake lines and the brake master cylinder brace that keeps it from flexing on firewall...all from ECS to be paired with EBC reds up front and blues in the rear. IMO it was the quickest way to liven up braking capability without getting into big brake kits.

Listen, try to change your brake pads and just to be sure, fill a new brake fluid and the problem likely will go away. But try pads first. I recommend using EBC DOUBLE H sintered pads

I did several track days last year in my 2016 GTI with EBC blue stuff pads front and back. Really liked them. Stayed good for 20 and 30min sessions. Used fresh motul rbf600 fluid.

Those look a lot like EBC Greenstuff, I'm assuming a cheap copy - the EBC break-in coating on the front does work well and doesn't squeal but I work on the assumption that anything from Amazon is fake.

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.

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.
