EBC 02-06 RSX Type S / 06-11 Civic Si Redstuff Front Brake Pads Reviews

i run my car on mountains and other fun roads. i remember when i overheated my oem brakes and i could not stop, it was a scary moment. i got these bad boys to attempt to mitigate some of the heat soak and they work wonderfully. yes wheels get dusty, and sometimes they squeal. but if this bothers you than why are you even looking at performance brakes? the longest i've taken these in one go is a 24 mile downhill run without any heat soaking, they brake harder as they warm up too. Fair warning they suck at braking when they are cold.

These fit too tightly in the caliper tracks, so I needed to grind a bit off the end of the pad, but they certainly do stop well, and the dust is easily removed from the wheels. They bedded easily, and there is no noise. I also have braided stainless hoses, so the brakes are right there immediately when I need them.

Great brakes....Easy install (as all brake pads should be!)...I've had these for about 1,000 miles now and no complaints whatsoever. I'm not sure what the issue is with the other users and noise, as I haven't heard them squeal once. Autocrossed with them twice, and they performed excellently. Even had an S2000 driver ask to run my '05 Type S for a heat, and he specifically complimented the brakes. Dust has also not been bad, but I clean my car regularly anyway so there's never much chance for build up. One thing I will say is they can make smooth street driving more difficult, as the initial grab is much stronger. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
