Brake pads Brembo or EBC
Right now I have EBC Red Stuff pads, front and rear, and there is NO dust on the wheels.. I also installed stainless steel brake lines, and that helped get rid of the spongy brake pedal.. The Red Stuff pads have a really good bite, and don't have much fade even on some of the long downhills in the mountains around here.. I've probably got close to 50,000 miles on these and there is still a lot of pad left, front and rear.. They will definitely be on the next car I get..

My Rabbit truck has 11.3 GTI rotors and calipers with EBC pads and still they fit under 15 inch wheels. And oh yea, it stops great.

I have EBC Red Stuff pads on all of my other cars, and they have been a very good choice. excellent stopping power & fade resistance, great pedal feel, no noise, and very low dust.

Used the BC green on my Jetta with cross drilled rotors...it stopped very nice and bust was low.
Based on the above I returned the pads to Tire Rack and installed Redstuffs.
fast road pads like EBC Greens are actually slower to operate from cold. So much so that I nearly failed to stop for a pedestrian crossing one cold morning soon after start up. I simply wasn't expecting my pads to be so bad first thing. With the soft stock pads you get an intial bite that you don't get with fast road pads. This is a world away from the EBC Greens on 280mm brakes that used to get totally chewed up in one day at Sandown. Or the EBC Reds that disintegrated entirely.
