PowerStop pads with Brembo rotors are a solid, budget-friendly combo.
But the EBC SR11 and SR21 pads have been a game changer for us with regard to wear rate. We run these on our endurance race car and so far they have blown everything else we have tried out of the water. We just started using these so my experience is limited. But we just ran an 8 hour enduro at the ridge and used 1.5mm of front brake pad. This length of enduro at this track would usually consume an entire set of front pads down to damn near the backing plates. This is on a fox body mustang that’s 2600lbs and makes 330whp.
Z23 are a perfect balance, on my 2nd set on this wrx
EBC blue on stock rotors, and stock suspension for 2 seasons so far... The pads are done, but I think I'll be getting the EBC blue again
I use EBC red stuff Front and rear. Better than OE performance, with less brake dust.
Powerstop carbon fiber/ceramic. Very little dust and no noise
I upgraded to ebh yellows from stock, they are affordable, huge braking improvement in pedal feel, if your in a cold climate id avoid ceramics.
The last set of pads I used on those rotors was EBC Yelowstuff Truck pads. They were awesome but wore out in 20kmi and squeaked like hell. They also completely ate my Brake Performance rotors. Holy cow they stopped good but, never again.
I have had nothing but bad luck with EBC pads on numerous cars.
I ate through EBC blues and had terrible brake fade. Zero fade on G-loc R8 lap after lap standing on the brakes at 130 on the back straight at midOhio
