Brake pads EBC or STOPTECH

EBC pads and rotors are good for normal or amateur competition use. As any other, just needs good bed in procedure. Their rotors are not drilled, which is great for normal street cars.

I use ebc pads and rotors. I don't see the point in spending hundreds or thousands more for galfer and the latest cool shit

Those are very good EBC pads, they also don’t destroy rotors. I will warn you that a brake bedding is absolutely critical with those. They very much rely on the transfer layer for better stopping performance and to not destroy your rotors. Thankfully, usually within 2 to 3 laps they have enough heat in them that you’re able to get a good transfer layer going.

They last me at least 3 days on brake-heavy tracks.

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 just picked up a set of Bluestuff NDX pads for my front. Haven't swapped yet but I'm sure they'll suffice since I'm not trying to win my class or set lap records

I've had very bad experiences with EBC pads and yes they were genuine.

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.
