    I put the Gen 3 on my 08, They Stopped the squeal, and stopped the Spyder just fine

    I realy don't know much about the EBC, Someone else will probably have more info on them.

    Gen 3.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    The Gen 3 also stopped the squeal for me well worth the money to replace the original pads.

    I just replaced my original 08 pads not because they were shot, but because they were squealing so bad. They still looked almost new with 14k miles on them. The generation 3 pads cured the squeal, but we are still waiting for the new EBC pads reviews to come in. Until the reviews come in from BAJA's people, I would stick with the generation 3 pads.

    Look at the brake backs: gold=2nd gen, black=3rd gen.

    Doesn't work for long. That was tried by many here.

    The GEN 3 pads however don't help the squeal in reverse.
