After doing some research for my 2005 350Z, I found a great deal on Amazon for EBC at the time so I went with EBC Red Stuff + EBC Sports Slotted Rotors (Both manufactured by EBC England). I was going to go with Hawk + Powerslot slotted rotors (Both made by Hawk or vice versa) originally.

The EBC Redstuff brake pads have a break-in coating on it that is red. EBC recommends 500 miles of light braking to break them in properly. It took about 400 miles on my 350Z. You don’t need to do the 30mph then stopping quickly like you do for Hawk+Powerslot combinations.

After 4 weeks, the EBC brake pad + EBC Sports rotor combination are working great with practically no dust at all and great stopping power. They don’t squeak or anything. I installed them myself and took the time to do it right by cleaning the rust off the inside off the brake equipment on the car with a wire brush, most shops don’t do this and they are supposed to.

I have taken turns at 85 and rolled the tires on their sides and braked HARD. Hit the brakes at 140 without fade. Ran greenstuff in the past – but the RED are awsome. did take 200 miles to break in, the rubbing and squeaking was annoying but man what a great bite! I am running the EBC redstff with the EBC sport slotted/drilled alloy (gold tone) rotors – great combo. I ran the cryogenic (liquid nitrogen frozen) rotors in the past with the green stuff pads – they were OK. Red stuff bites about 50% harder than the green stuff – no fade at 100+ when my A_ _ depended on the brakes working. These are installed on my 350Z, Unichip, stillen resonated down pipes, true dual stillen exhaust, AEM intake, sport suspension, Potenza tires, pulse plugs, estimated modified HP=315. Deliverd on time, in…

Dusty like no other., January 12, 2011

These pads could be of good quality but produce too much dust, if your car is equipped with steel wheels then it could be ok however if your car has alloy wheels you should look at other brands. i’m not making this up these pads produce at least 60% more dust than original equipment.
