The stock pads are actually a fantastic hybrid pad for street and "canyon" driving, even on track. They'll wear quicker but certainly better than this.

Get new pads or reinstall install the stock ones. I wouldn't reuse those pads even if you cleaned them up. I would also take some very fine grit sandpaper and gently rub the hot spots, followed by wiping down the rotors with towels.

Thank you for a true answer to this ❤️ I’m just gonna keep the stock pads

Noone in their right mind would think stock brake pads leaving a lot of brake dust makes them a bad brake pad. The more brake dust that is generated on steel brakes means that there is more friction that is happening on the contact patch between the pads and rotors. People go for ceramic brake pads with less brake dust knowing that their braking bite and performance will suffer considerably

Maybe give them a call and explain to them your story start to finish. I am sure they will do right by you and give you a replacement

Ebc is really bad… i had 3 times something with their pads everytime i was pissed at the end. I have the same issue like You with ebc blue - they are working very loud and the disc looks like it’s overheated it was ok with standard pads…

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with EBC, our experience is completely the opposite. they have been the most reliable brake pad supplier for us
