I got them replaced with the EBC YellowStuff and the brakes feel much better at the track now. They still get a bit soft once it's hot, but this may be due to the brake lines expanding?

EBC are complete trash sorry. Street only use they are fine. Anything more than mild track use and they will fall apart. Carbotech xp8 would be your best option. Hawk black would be a good alternative.
ebc yellows are great, but you need to bed them in with a hard stop from 180 kmph, not something you want to get caught doing.
I had yellows on my MR2 and I have greens on my BRZ. Yellows are amazing pads but you feel like you’re driving a 40 year old car when they are cold. If you have to stop fast on a cold morning it takes a lot more braking effort. Greens are amazing daily pads. No compromise on low temp and I haven’t even touched their top end with spirited driving.
I have EBC yellows on my Spyder. I'm pretty happy with them for street use, good grip and only occasional squeal.
I’ve used EBC yellow stuffs on my RX8 and M3 daily’s supplemented with Brembo blanks. They work well for just putting around town and work especially well with heat in them. They do seem abrasive at speed and they do seem to wear rotors down perhaps a bit quicker, but I still could get 20k out of a set with a couple of track days.
I personally run Zimmermann rotors and EBC pads. No issues during heavy braking. Definitely buy quality rotors, cheap rotors warp pretty quickly.
I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).
I have had a set of OEM (centric i think) pads for a while, they have lasted well thru many mountain runs (no track days)....I am in need to new front rotors/pads, so upgrading to a slotted front and EBC yellows, going to leave the rears alone for now and see how it drives with the fronts upgraded
So the Tiguan suspension is being dropped in today, along with some new EBC Red Stuff brake pads
