EBC Brake Kit

[sjkarrow]

After my last set of routine maintenance my dealer shared that my brakes are almost ready to be replaced. Seeing this as an opportunity I looked online and found the EBC Stage 1 Kit with Red Pads.

I've seen some complain that red pads aren't worth the effort but was curious A. if that was true and B. will these bolt on directly to current setup (2010 PP).

Looking for an upgrade over stock. This is my DD and not heavily modded,

I just installed those exact rotors on my 2010, they are really good so far! I combined them with the factory PP pads instead, as some people recommended semi metallic pads over ceramics for a better initial bite.

The Reds are fine if you are using them for daily driver duty. Meaning you are not riding them HARD like in autoxing or repeated runs at the dragstrip. But the Yellows are definitely preferred over Red.

I went with YellowStuff based on recommendations. I probably could get away with red since "Poseidon" has been downgraded from daily driver to...special event status. Nothing wrong just trying to keep miles down. Believe it or not I have had on property for almost two weeks and have not installed yet.

I think the EBC stage 1 comes with Ultimax, not RedStuff pads. You should double check to make sure. I have a 2011 PP and I think the pads are slightly different than non PP. I used RedStuff since I do not race and wanted low dust. They are definitely a huge improvement over stock and I am very pleased with them. I did have to replace them after about 10,000 miles as they wear down much faster than stock pads. Hope this helps.
