Brake pads EBC or Textar

I am currently running EBC Yellowstuffs that i installed last winter and i have now gone 10k km and they have 2-3mm of pad left on the front. I really really like their performance and don’t really mind the wear.

Our shop we use Zimmerman coated rotors and Textar pads. Napa Euro ADO R90 are also really good for commuter cars.

Textar is a renowned brand for brake pads. I like em. Although weirdly, I find their aftermarket pads to be better than the pads they supply to OEs like BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche.

Big fan of ebc, run red stuff pads on any of my vehicles that they are made for.

Brakes the pads are cheap enough with EBC yellow around 150$ am axle.

But it looks like the prices doubled, crazy.

Pads are great though.

Now that you have an actual motorsports caliper I would highly advise looking into EBC's SR-11 or SR-21s pads.

They are THE ONLY pad that will take some insane abuse on track, still be whisper quiet on the street, and work just as well at 0 degrees as they do at 1000 degrees.

Myself and a handful of other guys run them in time attack and I seriously have zero complaints. You honestly won't find a better pad, if you happen to have a caliper they fit in.

Had the ebc yellow stuff excellent pad but the squealing for daily use was unbearable so changed back to OEM.

I had yellow stuff on my 7.5R, performed well on the street but it fall apart when I took the car on track. They seem not really coping with high heat senarios, bite significantly dropped towards the end of a 20 minutes session, and the pads is installed on AP Racing 8520 caliper with 380mm disc, never go back to EBC afterwards

the brakes on the VB are pretty bad with zero bite in the first few inches of brake travel. I’ve had the past 2 generations on WRXs for OEM brake comparison. Ordered a full set of EBC Ulitmax2 OEM replacement pads to help a bit.
