EBC pads.. which set is better for Street use? - Click HERE for Original Thread

SilverNeonRacer
Ok, so it's brake job time on the wife's car. I'm probably gonna get EBC Green stuffs for my SUV later, but I'm not sure if I should get green stuffs or yellow stuffs for her car. It's purely a street car, no track at all. I want quiet pads with oem or better braking power or whatever.

Or are there any better pads you guys can think of?

Thanks

silvermist

OEM as in go to the dealership oem? or whatever premium OEM equiv place like CT/Napa have?

I have EBC green for my street-driven, non tracked car, they're pretty sweet for the few days I've had them on. Yellow I believe is for track driven cars. EBC Red, I'm pretty sure, is for those who drive their fast(er) cars hard on the street.

i've heard the ebc green pads throw off alot of dust , and chew through rotors.

amjad6996
Haven't heard anything like that. Only good, really. Also depends on how they're used, and on what application.

silvermist
I guess it also depends on the veichle since I have heard they are crappy on my car, or maybe that was the EBC dimpled rotors are crap.

amjad6996
Yeah, now that wouldn't surprise me, the brake pads are pretty highly regarded.

EBC claims the green stuffs are low noise, low dust, and good for a street car that's occationally track drive. Yellow stuffs are a kevlar material that can be street driven without having to warm them up first.

Kari at mopac said he had EBC greenstuff on his neon and warped 2 sets or rotors....

Might go with powerslot rotors(if the oem ones need replacing, I don't think they are warped, so it depends on the wear level) ... still not sure on the pads... hmmm
