Hi guys, has anyone of you tried EBC brake pads, redstuff, yellowstuff, etc.
WHat do think about them?

not sure who is running them here, I'm sure someone will chime in!

I First Put Greens On And They Are Very Dusty And Softer Braking. I Took Them Off After 150 Miles. I Now Just Put Reds On Which Have Better Bite, Breaking In Is So Loud But Less Than 10 Miles Waiting To Put On My R1 Rotors Next Weekend To Break In.

EBC Reds for almost 10K now. Very loud on break-in which lasted for 3-400 miles it seems. Had low speed squealing but putting the OEM shims on the EBC Reds has eliminated all noise. Braking is strong and very little brake dust. I do also have BWoody stainless lines.

What is an OEM shims?

My original pads came with shims between the calipers and pads. They are thin and sliver. Made the difference for me with the EBC's and noise but our brakes tend to be noisy but good. Good luck.

You meen the oem brake pads are good but noisy or the ebc pads are good but noisy?

I have had the greens for about 6 months and no problems. Much better than stock. Make sure you follow the break-in procedure and do not break in pads and rotors at the same time. They were dusty and loud for about 2 weeks, but now they work great with no noise and very little dust.

Stockers never made a sound. EBC Reds were noisy until I put the stock shims on those pads. Now the EBC's are nice and quiet. Braking is just as good as stock and very little brake dust.

I've used the 7000 series EBC "suv" pads in the front for past 6 months. Totally quiet and ultra low dust, though I'm not sure the grip is quite at stock levels, (but it is substantially better than the Centric pads I had prior to the EBC's)
FASTSRT8 (who I think sold his Jeep) had the Yellowstuff. He told me that the grip was fantastic, and the dust is 1/2 of the stock amounts, though not really a low dust pad. Don't know about any noise issues with that pad, since I didn't ask him.

How come you shouldn't break in new pads and new rotors? Better to use OEM pads with new rotors until broken in? How many miles?:confused:

EBC Yellow (Kevlar) is the best pad I have ever run on a street vehicle. They produce more friction / braking torque than any other pad I have seen for the same area / caliper / disc, even many track compounds. They don't seem to need any heat to work, they have very consistent friction output, they don't seem to glaze, and they occasionally sqeal like the garbage truck. I haven't tried the shim thing though.

The stock brake hardware on this ride is cool, but the braking action is just awful... it takes a ton of pedal effort to get moderate and fairly nonlinear break torque; thats a problem with a 5000lb track pig. It all seems to be a matter of pad compound. The yellows have shown me anywhere from 20-33% reduction in stopping distance from highway speed.
