EBC yellow brake pads?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Stoptech (Centric) Sport Performance pads can take light duty track usage, and won’t smear on rotors if you do over temp then like HP+ and crappy EBC yellow stuff.

They’re probably the highest max operating temp “streetable” pads I’ve experienced. They dust, but it’s not corrosive, pretty rotor friendly, and no noise. A little soft when cold, but not as much as like a DTC-60 which can feel like the brakes almost aren’t there on an ice cold rotor.

If you have to bomb around for 25+ mins over braking everywhere, you need to toss something like a DTC 60 up front.

I hated Hawk HP+ on the street and the track. They squealed worse than a garbage truck on the street, and smeared on rotors at the track. I never found the EBC stuff to work that well either.

The best street/track combo pad I ever used was the Ferodo DS2500 on my turbo BMW. They worked great on the street and while not as good as a race pad on the track, they handled it very well (no smearing or crumbling).
