I Have Also Run The Greens And Reds (archive)

I have had no warping problems and I liked the bite these brakes have. I started with Reds for dual use track and street. They were awesome on the street with low dusting, no fade on the track and a great bite. The problem was I went through a whole set of pads in two track days... ouch that is expensive!

So I switched to the Greens for street use and planned to buy the Yellows for track use. The Greens were even better then the Reds on the street (but don't even think about using them on the track) with the best bite I have ever felt in the car. Unfortunately the Yellows never came in a compound well suited for the track either. So I have since switched to PFZ's street and PF90's for the track. The PFZ's don't bite anywhere nearly has strong as the Greens did... neither did the stock brakes or even the PF90's for that matter. But the PF90's are by far the best pad I have run on the track and are absolutely fade free no matter how bad I drive:)

Why did I switch to the PF's? By using street and track pads from the same company it is easier for me to swap pads without having dedicated rotors. I would have to scrub the rotors with a Brillo pad if I switched from EBC Greens for street and PF90's for the track. So if you only plan on doing street driving the EBC pads are tops. If you plan on getting out on the track you should look into a different vendor.
