Anyone use EBC Red Stuff brake pads on their MY2005?
 
Hi,

Anyone use EBC Red Stuff brake pads on their MY2005?

I still have the standard the WRX brakes on my wagon, will it make a big difference?

Whats the real difference between the Red and Yellow ones?

We've got some high performance ceramic/kevlar pads in stock for your model (PM for price).

EBC reds are rubbish. Yellows inconsistent.

Also just started a group buy on these with drilled and grooved discs. Target price £145 for the complete front set. :norty:

Pagid, Ferodo or PF would be better choices in our experience..........

I fitted new discs & red stuff pads this time last yearon my 02 WRX & ive got to replace my discs as they are fooked after only one year & 9000miles.:mad:

The funning thing is though the pad stll look brand new!!!:mad:

So i'll not be using them again!

Any one know what the Black diamond preditor pads are like????:confused:

To be honest I had ebc red pads on my evo v and they were fine.
But ive read a lot of threads on this forum and seen pics that would make you think twice.
Bob I have heard that there is a bit of fade on the yellow ebc pads when hit hard, but to be honest mate im gonna form my own opinion after use and give an honest report.
I know they are cheaper than ferodo( and prob not as good) but we shall see

Performance friction all the way, great pads.

I've used red stuff, great from the start and got worse as time went on, still loads of meat on them but once to the bottom of out road, we had to pray that we stopped. Got a bit better with a bit of heat in them, but would never use them again.
