Brake pads EBC or WAGNER

The best pads out there right now are the Wagner OEX pads cuz they're built on a galvanized steel backing plate with a mechanical fastening system for the friction material instead of glue. They don't rust out like plain steel pads

Wagner OEX brake pads are some of the best around. They're built on a galvanized steel backing plate to reduce rust and the pad material is connected to the plate with a mechanical attachment system instead of glue. Wagner is a Tier 1 supplier to several carmakers.

I have Red Stuff pads and I feel that they have more initial bite than the stock pads, and once you're deeper in the pedal they feel pretty much the same as the stock pads. On the street I feel they are very comparable to stock and dust much less. More importantly, the dust is gray and doesn't turn rusty colored so it doesn't look as bad between washes. Red Stuff wouldn't handle track events like OEM though. Also no issues with brake noise.

Went on a track day and the stock brakes would smoke like crazy after a couple of laps. Just switched to ebc yellow pads. I still have less than 500 miles on them but so far so good. Tried them in auto x and felt good, stopping force is a bit better. As far as street driving i hear a very slight squeal from the brakes under light braking. Dont think i'd even notice with windows up, its very slight. Update: ebc yellow pads stop a good bit better than stock brakes on the track. Alot better at handling the heat.

2000% go with the HH EBC Brake pads. Immediate feel, much better progressive brakes. You won't believe the difference in feel and confidence.

I've been using EBC red ceramic pads on all my GP's. Never once had fitment issues and they're low dust and no squeaks. Bought some oe spec stoptech ones once and replaced them a few months later because they were too dusty.

I did ebc red stuff and some slotted and drilled rotors. Honestly I have to recommend it I love the hard bite if I hit them hard.

Massive step up from the OEMs assuming proper break-in. Since the car is just a daily, I can testify for the EBC Red pads with stock rotors. Been a year now and I feel like you truly need nothing else than this combo for the streets. Noise is minimal after break in period

around town is fine, I used them for an autox event and immediately wanted better brakes. I now have ebc yellowstuff and they bite a lot harder.

I had EBC red and green stuff on another car, would never buy again.
