Brake pads EBC or Raybestos
I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.
No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.
EBC red is a great street and auto X pad. It’s not a trackpad. EBC Blue is entry-level track and well it technically can be used on the street. Its manners are pretty poor.
The Reds are designed for streets applications. They will be a much better pad on a daily driver that goes to auto cross or mountain roads.
I've had great results from Raybestos ST43s and Ferodo DS2500s for dual duty.
EBC makes great pads and discs. Have them on my NB and they've been solid for like two or three years now after the Brembos warped themselves.
The EBC RP-1 pads seem to have good road manners.
I'm using raybestos SP436ATRH for the pads and raybestos 96632FZN for the rotors. Been using them since January and have put about 6k on them, living in a really hilly area with my drums being basically useless because the shoes have been coated in gear oil due to an axle leak. I javent had any issues with brake fade or warping and I took them on a 2hr trip to west virginia from central ohio in March.
EBC red. Yellow likes to squeal loudly if it isnt warm.
Took the Swift for a spirited drive down the horseshoe pass today, by the bottom the brakes stank, pedal went soft and stopping power became dangerously weak. Drove it softly for a mile or so and they were back to normal and I could lock the wheels again.
I personally had a terrible time with EBC brakes especially the yellow stuff. A month of daily driving and one track day had the pads so low they actually slipped out of the calipers while I was driving, customer support swore up and down I installed them wrong and it’s my fault. I put project mu hybrid pads on next and I’ve been out on 6 different tracks days and a year of driving and there is still 5mm of pad life left.
