Brake pads EBC or WILWOOD

I got their slotted rotors and red stuff pads. Installed them myself but had a strange kind of raspy grinding sound when braking. Figured it was just them breaking in. After a few days of this I decided to take the wheels back off and take a look. Turns out I had installed all 4 caliper clips backwards. Switching them around fixed the issue. Braking was pretty aggressive for the first week or two then smoothed out which they mention on the product page. Now it's quiet and smooth although more aggressive bite in then the oem pads, especially when cold.

EBC pads and rotors are good for normal or amateur competition use. As any other, just needs good bed in procedure. Their rotors are not drilled, which is great for normal street cars.

I use ebc pads and rotors. I don't see the point in spending hundreds or thousands more for galfer and the latest cool shit

Those are very good EBC pads, they also don’t destroy rotors. I will warn you that a brake bedding is absolutely critical with those. They very much rely on the transfer layer for better stopping performance and to not destroy your rotors. Thankfully, usually within 2 to 3 laps they have enough heat in them that you’re able to get a good transfer layer going.

They last me at least 3 days on brake-heavy tracks.

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.

EBC red. Yellow likes to squeal loudly if it isnt warm.

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

I tried blue stuff and wasn't impressed at all, I burned through them in a day.
