Brake pads EBC or R1 Concepts

Been using EBC Yellow Stuff for about a month now and love em. At the same time I got Continental summer tires put on as well. It's crazy how much more braking power this set up gas, however you may have to get used to the firmness, took me a couple weeks to soft stop again without a minor jerk when finally stopped, and I notice tire nose more now as well.

I have R1 on now all around and no issues since.

I would also recommend the Yellowstuff pads. They are a bit more expensive than the reds, but worth it. I've cooked my red stuffs a few times and the yellows seemed to be much more temperature resilient, I'll be switching back when these die. I also didn't experience any less cold bite from the yellows compared to the reds, which is important on a street pad.

I've always run EBC YellowStuff, and paired them with DBA 4000 T3 rotors, on all my cars, even before I did the STi Brembo swap on my WRX.

For regular use as a daily driver with regular spirited driving I really like EBC yellow pads. Honestly, those pads combined with StopTech rotors has been a great upgrade for my daily-driven car.

EBC pads, OE quality Zimmerman rotors and a brake flush with the proper fluid is all you need.

been looking at yellow stuff, as what I hear to be a great pad, and is more affordable than I imagined it would be.

Running the R1 concept with ceramic pads now and have no issues. They bite a lot better then the stock setup I had on it before.

I have ebc reds. I still get lots of brake dust and I prefer the bite of oem pads more. Not to say reds are bad, they just didn't meet my expectations for a daily.

Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
