EBC Redstuff
Hey, I've been looking to upgrade my brakes recently. After looking for a while I've decided to go for EBC Redstuff pads. I was contemplating Greenstuff for a little while, but I thought for the extra money, why not? Saves me having to upgrade again later (at least for a while).
I've been searching around for a while on the web, but all I'm able to see for my car is the EBC front pads, but not the rear. I know that the front pads do most of the work, but I'd love to just get all of the pads fixed up to a similar level, and not skimp out on stock pads for the rear. Does anyone have much experience with Redstuff pads, and if so, what's your opinion? And if you could, could anyone pass a link to where I could buy the rear pads? Thanks. EDIT: Sorry for the double post. Last edited by Condooo; 05-14-2011 at 04:46 AM. |

I wouldn't waste the money on anything special for the rear pads. They dont do enough to ever warrant having upgraded pads. I run stock pads all around and I track my car. I've never had any issues. I think I got about 130,000km on my first set of rear pads even with quite a few track days.

Agreed on stock rear pads.
I do recommend going with better front pads, both in terms of stickiness and being able to handle higher temps. I had EBC yellows last year and they did great (never faded on the track), and this year I'll be running EBC reds, which seem to be a bit better on the street in colder temps.

I do. And a first gen Yaris T-Sport more than likely does too.

I used the greens on a track integra I has moslty used for track days and they worked well. I was always concerned about the reds needing heat to work properly. I like the greens for street use

I'm switching to Hawk Blue's for track use once the Yellows are done.

My reds dust a LOT... can't really compare them to the yellows unfortunately, but I HAVE to wash my rims once a week.

Just did a lapping day at Cayuga, I can officially confirm the reds will not fade on you :)
The HAUL down quick too, very comparable to the Yellows I had on, but I think I didn't break them in as well as I did these reds. Car: 225/45/13 Toyo R888's on Lenso 13x7.5's for grip, Megan sprigns + Koni Yellow + performance alignment for suspension, stock motor.

Im going to buy it also the Redstuff I already ordered on ebay, I use this in my last car and they work great. Is a very good upgrade!
With the redstuff is enough because yellow or blues is for cars with more HP Anyone could recommend me some good brakes rotors that fit in Yaris sedan? |
