Some pads make more noise than others, I'm not going to use Brembo pads on my car again, they aren't making bad noises, just regular brake sounds at a slightly higher volume than my previous Napa brand ceramic pads.
They are a little grabby at extremely low speeds. Otherwise they seem to stop strong and quiet.
I switched to Akebono ceramic compound after about six months of trying the Hawk HPS street pads. Performance is on par with OEM but I was looking for something that has less brake dust.
I run Hawk hps 5 and have had a great experience with them the past 2 years. Seem to have improved stopping power and they produce less dust.
Today i had replace my rotors cause are very warped both, and get installed the textar front discs with brembo ceramic pads... \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffc Im tired of cleaning the front rims every 2 days.
For \~$250, the Ferodo DS2500's are a great pad for dual street/spirited and light/medium track use.With any semi-metallic pad, you're going to have dust. You can't really substantially reduce dusting without going to something like ceramic pads, which then frictional force is compromised.
For pads I'm having pretty good success with the new Hawk Ceramic 5.0. I run those on my GLI(with Golf R calipers/brakes) and on the .:R. I was surprised for light track duty they were ok on both cars. Not a full on track pad to be clear. They are also a high torque pad so they have really good bite.
I used Corrado G60 hubs (still retaining 4x100 lug pattern) Corrado 4-wheel ABS system paired to adapters to run 11.8" 4piston Mercedes Benz front brakes with Yellowstuff EBC race compound pads and 10.2" rear discs with Hawk HPS pads. This brake configuration to mass ratio was already an upgrade on the 4800# donor car, here they are absolutely insane on a sub 3000# Mk1 Cabriolet.
GTI Brakes with StopTec Slotted Rotors and Brake pads
Will they fit? Probably. But without the slot you can't use the anti-rattle springs. I purchased a set of Akebono's from ECS a few years ago and ended up sending them back because they don't fit as the car was designed to work (if that makes sense?).
