Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP

I switched to EBC Redstuff ceramics and am very happy. They’re quiet and the dust is light, and not brown. I think the performance is very comparable to OEM.

EBC redstuff. Very low dust. Similar feel to OEM pads but maybe slightly less initial bite.

Installed EBC Yellow Stuff pads for rear, kept original rotors, without even turning. 1000km later amazing so far.

I use and recommend the Z23 Evolution Sport Pads. They refer to it as Carbon Fiber Ceramic. It is incredible. It really last a long time. Has great stopping power and it produces very little brake dust.

Their brakes are quiet and last a long time compared to my previous experiences. Pads going on two years. No noise, no squeaks, no rattles. very minimal brake dust.

Sometimes those alternatives work like K&N air filters or EBC brake pads for street use.

I self installed Z23 Powerstop Evolution Sport slotted rotors & carbon fiber ceramic pads kits front and rear from Rock Auto. Superior to OEM in every aspect. Better longevity, quieter, with greatly improved braking.

I replaced the front rotors and pads on my 2020 V60 with a Z23 Powerstop kit I bought from Rockauto. I opted for the standard rotors instead of slotted and drilled. It’s been just over 2 weeks and they are very smooth.

I have run the EBC RP-1s and currently am on the RP-X. The 1s were fine/no issues I just didnt like the lower Mu (less bite). These are a 1400+ deg F pad. I used them on street between track events without issue.

I ordered Red stuff pads off of Amazon, with the car in my garage being a 2023 WRX, and the pads I got did not fit at all. In fact, the box said they were for a 2015/later Legacy.
