I'm currently running EBC yellows which have done me well for daily use(if you don't mind the dust), Autobahn driving, and on Spa and the Nurburgring.
EBC Blue Stuff on stock rotors for me. Zero regrets. Everything I own gets EBC blue stuff from now on. Incredible grip. Very low dust that rinses away. I didn\u2019t know brakes could be like this and I\u2019ve driven hundreds of thousands of miles on all sorts of brakes. I am not tracking them, but my everyday drives bear some similarities.
I replaced mine with EBC red. Same as OEM to me, good stopping power. Less dust to deal with.
EBC brakes from [perfectbrakes.com](http://perfectbrakes.com) are great. Ultimax is my recommendation for low dust and great performance.
Compare pricing, but I agree with other recommendations for Power Stop Z36 for towing. Huge upgrade to stock.
As for a recommendation on brake pads, I like the Powerstop brand pads. They're pretty low dust and perform well and last a long time
I went with EBC RED. noticeably softer. Perfect for the street. Don't get them if you track.
I tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.
They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.
I also have some EBC braided lines and yellow stuff on my ST. But I think I didn't really brake them in before using them very hard. Needed to brake from around 200kph for a corner on the Nurburgring and fried them. The bite it used to have is gone now, I think I overcooked them
Hated my pair of Yellowstuff. Squeaked like no other. But I'm pretty sure mine were defective. I've been told they squeak but not ear piercing like mine were.
