Brake pads EBC or WILWOOD

On my Mini SE, I have EBC red on the front, yellow on the rear to add more rear brake bias. Works great for DD and AX. On my R53 with correct brake bias, reds all round. I really like the reds for both DD and fun driving.

For daily driving, EBC Redstuff are perfectly capable and inexpensive.

Last year I switched to the EBC Redstuffs. Overall braking power hasn't necessarily improved that much (according to the butt dyno), but appears to handle heat better as my brake pedal stays consistent through the entire day and doesn't begin to feel softer during the end of the day during my last couple runs.

I run EBC greens. Really nice bite, cold or hot, stock quiet, and a little less dusty than the yellows.

I use EBC Yellows for my STR NC and like them a lot.

I recommend ebc blues to everyone and always get positive feedback, they bite better than oem cold and way better warm they are very dusty though.

EBC yellows have been great for me. Minimal squeal and moderate dust I also tried a set of OEM style ceramic pads but faded them on a high speed autox course.

ebc yellows were great dual duty pads when I used them, but dusty. They feel good on the street and the few hard brake tests I've done felt like they bite well, much better than the OEM quality pads I had.

Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.

I recently changed the brakes on my MK7.5 Non PP GTI, I chose EBC Redstuff for the disks and pads. I have bedded them in and driven a bit over this per the manual, for the first few weeks I didn't have any issues and they are a lot grabbier than the OEM ones. But with some recent spirited driving, I found that these pads under light to heavy breaking on the front get cooked in less than a mile. Ended up coming to a corner and the pedal was firm, then it wasn't and it was squirming about and not slowing. Getting out of the vehicle I found the pads were smoking really badly as well the heat coming off them had turned the disks blue on the front, while the rears were warm, but nowhere near as bad as the front. The OEM pads took way more abuse, even then they would just judder when they go too hot and never fadded or gave the same symptoms.
