Found EBC Yellow stuffs for the TTRS calipers for $140 (I've found EBC yellow stuffs a good compromise semi-squeal daily drive and decent on the track)
EPC light on usually is coils or spark. find misfire plug and then move to another and see if it moves if it moves then its coil if not replace spark plugs and try again.
Installed the EBC redstuff over the weekend, wow i love these brake pads, much better bite than OEM pads, and no noise. Not sure about the dust yet, car is dirty, but bite is amazing, im super satisfied
EBC yellowstuff pads ( for track days)
For this event, I plan to bring an extra set of EBC Yellow Stuff pads, per my friend/instructor's suggestion.
Front Big Brake Kit, 17z front brake calipers, 330mm x 32mm rotors, EBC redstuff pads
I have about 400 street miles and 100 track miles on my set. Noise is practically non existence. Dust is much less than stockers. They have less (much less) cold bite compared to stock. I got scared the first week or so I put them on, but after awhile, I think I've adjusted and don't think too much of it. When heated up, they do bite more than stock and give very linear and predictable feel. I was pleasantly surprised they performed pretty consistent after repeated hard breaking from 115 to 40ish at track. I limited my sessions to only 20 mins or so per session and ambient was only in the low sixties. So that helped. For longer sessions and harder use, I would probably go for something else. Also note, I ran stock pads at the same track and same driving style and they literally crumbled.
The yellows are claimed to be a 50 50 Track and street but honestly you could only get about a weekend out of pure track use ... really no noise after the first 50 miles .. dust isn't too bad either .. it's there but they don't cake like track pads do. Very minimal fade too , I did 8 100-10 stops and felt it in the pedal still ... though they were glowing a bit
So I just got my powerstop kit installed yesterday. It was $355 from autoparts warehouse and they threw in free shipping. The kit looks pretty good the nickel plating looks very clean but they don't look as agressive as some of the other kits I've seen. The install was not bad at all although I ran into a snag resetting the rear calipers (I didn't do my homework on what tool to reset them with but I eventually got some help). On my first drive I was not impressed with the stopping power of the ceramic pads and the slotted cross drilled rotors (I was thinking it would have this incredible improvement because powerstop claims the pads don't need to be seated to be at peak performance). I beg to differ they were no different than my oem brakes at all yesterday while driving but after having put about 100 miles on them I am starting to see a lot of improvement in my stopping distances without having to mash the pedal. The pads were pretty noisy at first but today are dead quiet (unlike my oem pads). The pedal doesn't feel any different as far as weight but I don't have to press in on it as much to make sudden stops (I thought I was going to see my lunch again today while in Charlotte traffic at one point). Overall I think it isn't a bad upgrade for somebody on a budget like me who wants to have more performance out of your brake system that functions as an everyday driver or could be used on an autox day. I think I'm going to try it this year . I will try to post some pics of the car with the kit installed and keep you guys updated on how the kit feels if there is any changes over the next few weeks or any brake fade.
Ebc pads are total garbage.
