Brake pads EBC or Textar

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.

Sometimes those alternatives work like K&N air filters or EBC brake pads for street use.

I use EBC Green Stuff. They are organic. More brake dust, but you really can feel the stopping power.

Ebc green stuff are great so far 200 miles

EBC Red Stuff I recently did my brakes and these are really quiet and durable and great stopping power and low dust.

Quality pads and rotors tend not to warp out in a couple hundred miles. If you bought Durlast junk from Autoroo then that's the reason. Stick with OE/OEM Quality like ATE rotors and Textar pads.

I recently purchased EBC BSD rotors and EBC RedStuff. The front rotors ended up with an unknown lead time, so the rep reached out and suggested DBA 4000 T3s. I dropped the car off at the dealership as they'd agreed to cover the labor under warranty. I stopped by yesterday and was told they were having some issues with the install and that the pads didn't come with hardware... the tech was already left for the day I swung by again today. I was told that the holes in the pads were slightly larger than the pins, which allows for the pads to shift up and down. I took it home and confirmed everything is good in one direction, but when I pop it in reverse and hit the brakes, I hear a metal to metal click as the pads shift up and hit the caliper. The same is true when I put it back in drive and hit the brakes.

I have ran EBC before and they were meh even on my 120hp Miata.
