Brake pads EBC or Tesla

I really like EBC Redstuff for sporty daily driving.

Been happy with EBC Bluestuff for dual purpose. Only did one control clinic event but wasn’t an issue, and not too loud on street and cold performance is fine.

EBC make some great pads and rotors

150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.

I've had great experiences with EBC Yellowstuff pads in prior vehicles. Super aggressive bite, will chew through rotors though so take that as it is. I like the current setup on my 23 Turbo, went oem front rotors and some Duralast Golds. Rear are DFC rotors and their 5000 series ceramics. Stops pretty nice, liking the feel but I also changed brake fluid at brake change, that may have helped.

I owned a 2018 Model 3 Performance for ~80k miles and now a Lucid Air Touring with over 20k miles. Maintenance wise, I have spent money on a set of tires for the Tesla (let's call that $1500), brake pads and rotors on the Telsa ($600?) and windshield washer fluid. The Lucid has needed nothing over the past 17 months except for a tire patch.

I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.

New EBC/TRW pads, rotors and calipers front and back. New super dot fluid, several ABS bleed procedures, new clutch master and new slave cylinder. I put a new German/OE brake booster hose that attaches to the manifold. The new one tightened the pedal up for sure but it still stops slowly with decent pressure on the pedal

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
