Let throw some gas on this fire, Ram, Chevy or Ford!! ??
They’re not, except in the minds of a few folks who attempted to add their “wisdom” here.
And to 12Vs point, I agree, EBC seems to be the top of the line when it comes to brake pads. (Of course some can’t tell the difference not unlike anything else). Have heard Hawk pads are equivalent to EBC but never tired them.
But also in response to 12Vs comment, he believes anything you buy must be THE best or nothing at all. Those Powerstop pads for half the price are still better all around than OE type semi-met or organic and close to EBC in performance.
All a bit subjective of course but within the reasonable realm of what works well and not as rigid as some peoples opinion of “the best or not at all.”
My son and I have both ran the Hawk and they are good but still not close to the EBC's. I have EBC's on my 15 DRW RAM, Harley, 24k Mobile Suites and 01 RAM Sport 2500 4x4.
So what's wrong with buying what a person "thinks" is the best?
I also replaced the front rotors on my 15 because I had a sticking caliper and chewed up one rotor. I bought the OE type replacements part number RK 7508.
