Brake pads EBC or Textar

EBC red stuff pads work great. Better stopping power than stock, way less dust, but I've always swapped rotors and pads at the same time.

I have the EBC Yellowstuff pads. They are very smooth and there is no vibration. The factory Brembo pads are horrible and they try to rip you off on the price.

Just replaced my rotors and pads all around. So far I like the Red Stuff much better than OEM. Less dust. Less noise.

I ran bluestuff on my FK8 for two days. I am a novice and it worked great.

I use EBC blues on front and EBC yellow on rear (they don’t make blues for my rear brakes). I love them, I think they work great on street and track, although wear a lot faster than Yellows did when I was first starting out.

I had ebc reds on my last wrx and loved them. There were a lil dusty, but I was very impressed with their stopping power

Last week I got R1 Concept drilled & slotted with EBC RedStuff brake pads. This is my 2nd set of redstuff pads. Did about 40k miles on the first set with no squeal or shakes.

Im about to change my rotors for the second time with some fresh EBC blue stuff pads. If you plan on putting any heat into the brakes, just be ready for hot spots on the rotor and for the rotor to be toast.

Ditch EBC. Discs are OK. But pads are just pure viral marketing via forums etc. Played havoc with the ABS on my GC8 Subaru when I had them (ABS kicking in actually massively increased stopping distances).

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.
