Im going to change my brake pads on my 06 STI and are unsure which path to go down
EBC yellow stuff ?
DS2500 ?
EBC red stuff ?
Pagid ?
brembo ?

too many to choose from why cant they just make 1 set of brake pads

IMO stay away from EBC as they are not good, Pagid, Mintex or ferodo are far superior.

Hi, I'm no expert, but just upgraded to four pots and braided hoses, and got mintex 1144s pads, much, much better, pedal fell and stopping, however I don't brake hard and won't be tracking the car, I hear the DS2500 are good too, but all I can comment on is the mintex, hope this helps

on my last car i did have the ebc red stuff in drove car about 50 mile and threw them in bin and bought some oem ones and they were 100% better.
so im glad you have mentioned ebc being pants its not just me

yeah I got told that ebc aren't that great, which is why I replaced them with mintex, not too expensive

Another for DS2500 here (never used anything better), never tried Mintex, but EBC redstuff is worse than OEM IMO. Total crap product.

i second that. i've got mintex extreme on mine and before i had the ds2500's. I prefer the mintex as they have better bite from cold and are not noisy! i think the ferodo is more suited towards the track tbh.
