EBC vs Brembo HP2000 vs Project Mu Vs ATE/Bosch/OEM
 

I need new pads so I've narrowed it down to EBC Redstuff or Green, Brembo HP2000, Import some Project Mu from Japan or just get some OEM equivalents like ATE etc....?

I need good bite from cold as I had a close call with a bus 5 minutes after leaving home (my fault) so that kinda put things into perspective about my braking needs...:freak3: also I'll never track the car but enjoy the odd mway run once a month or so...

Was thinking Yelowstuff also but seen reviews that they are quite dusty and need heat to perform the best?

The Project Mu I'm looking at are either the BESTOP or NS-C

All of these would cost around £160 ish for both front and rears , except for the ATE that are around £90....and the NS-C a bit more expensive...like £180-ish....

Maybe Ferodo DS perf. also....?

no cold bite on ds2500 and dusty, ebc red fade quickly,
pagid rs14 for me ,similar cold bite to EBC Rpx with less aggressive and low dust pads
did not try project mu, to expensive for my cp9040 calipers

Ebc yellows , i had the Mu ones fitted , I think the yellows were better , more bite and also no issues with the yellows when they are cold as they don’t need warming up , i have some black diamond ones fitted close to yellows but not quite as good 👍

I run the Brembo HP2000 up front on my 07 STi, good pads. Decent cold bite, not too dusty, and progressive relativity to the pedal.

Got a full EBC yelowstuff kit from wg_motorparts on ebay front/read pads front/rear braided lines and fluid all for for £170 too good of an offer to pass...It was on sale and ebay has a discount code at the moment running for them so have a look yourselves maybe you can find something you need they got lots of brake stuff for subaru...
