Thanks all for this info and posting the part numbers. I too am tired of the filthy OEM pads, but don't want to give up performance

Also, for anyone on the fence with these, it looks like EBC is having a sale. Priced these at summit racing for $160 front and $122 rear today!

What wear sensors are you using with these?

Thanks for the tip. You and the other posters prompted my purchase today.

I won't install these until track season ends here in the Northeast but I'll report back then if I have any overwhelmingly conviction positive or negative.

I wouldn't bother with the wear sensor. Just zip tie the cable to one of the suspension bits and cover the sensor with electrical tape. It's easy to visually guage the pad wear with the tire mounted.

Nice thanks! Wasn't aware of this trick. Do the sensors need to be coded out? Or does the vinyl tape trick the sensors?

Np. No coding needed. It's an old fashioned low current loop/circuit that breaks open when the pad wears.

When you disconnect the sensor from the pad the circuit should remain a closed. If you happen to break the sensor head when disconnecting it from the old pads you can just splice/crimp the sensor wires together to close the circuit, cover with tape then zip tie.

As long as the circuit is closed the car thinks everything is fine. If you happen to trip the circuit you can reset the pad service warning by holding down the odo reset while in auxiliary mode then scrolling thru the prompts.

That's normal. Its the bed in material that causes it.

It will go away over time. The instructions say you can expect noises for up to 500-1000 miles after installation.

^ Thanks man

How's the dust level of yellow stuff pads vs OEM? Just got them installed so too early to compare..

Better than OEM, but not a low dusting pad.

[m3rxn]

^ Thanks- I guess zero brake dust is not avoidable for any after market pad- whether they be be ceramic or not- unless you have CCBs from factory..

Well you could get Akebono pads, which is a really really low dust pad, but they brake like crap lol

Haha. They are inexpensive but must be avoided. Fred Flinstone can brake faster.

The youngsters here will need to google that one.

Also low noise

@TopJimmy how are the reds holding up on low brake dust?

I'm thinking of going full rainbow and trying out the reds from the blues. Blues dust a heck of a lot and I'm tired of cleaning my wheels every 3 days lol

While doing 60-160 rolls at Pocono I noticed fade at the end of my 160-80 decel for the upcoming Turn-1. Not bad but it was there, and I always "pump down" in braking, no constant foot. The brake dust was way lower than stock. Sadly I wrecked that car the following week at the dragstrip, braking not being the problem. A wall jumped out in front of me.


I'm trying Yellows next.

Yikes I hope you walked away without injury.

If doing stops from 160, I would definitely skip the yellows and go straight for the blues
