I've beat the crap out of EBC Yellow pads on my Ranger with a RTT and the back loaded full of stuff. They do have a lot of dust but they are heavy load rated I believe.

Pros: heavy load rated

Cons: a lot of dust

Vehicle: Ford Ranger

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.

Pros: good for dual purpose, quiet on street, good cold performance

I always use Textar - a boggo (albeit OE) brand, and never, ever have a problem.

Pros: reliable, no problems

I run EBC Yellowstuff on mine and while the dust factor kinda sucks imo, it’s not that bad all things considered

Cons: lots of dust

EBC pads are highly overrated for the price. Red stuff are pretty squealy and dust more than stock. Initial bite is about the same.

Cons: squealy, dusts more

EBC yellow. I once fitted shit pads because it's all I could get hold of when I needed them. I completely used a set of rear pads in 1 trip to wales and experienced what total brake fade feels like on a Welsh mountain with a fully loaded Land Rover and it wasn't fun.

Cons: brake fade, not fun
