EBC brake pads have always let me down. I refuse to use them now. The best street/light track pad out now is the Stoptech 309 Sport. Non-abrasive on the street, they dust a bit, but it’s not crazy, and they have a reasonably high max operating temp (MOT). The best thing is they won’t smear brake pad material and give you the judders if you exceed the MOT. They’re also pretty cheap.
TBH I'd just buy the rotors and get stoptech pads. I have use many pairs of them and they work well without breaking the bank.
I really like the stoptech sport brake pads. They are very aggressive and brake very well with excellent initial bite. They don't fade much after repeated heavy braking which is nice. This does come at a cost. Since these are semi-metallic compounds they will eat your rotors. You will be replacing rotors with pads every time.
I have custom drilled rotors and Stoptech/Centric Posi-Quiet pads combined with Stoptech SS lines on my LS430. I'm very happy with the combo but I would not recommend those rotors if you're looking for longevity. I would stick with regular blanks or slotted only if you really want that stopping power and longevity.
Centric/StopTech PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Couldn\u2019t be happier. Almost no dust in comparison to stock. And yes, a bit less bite, which I\u2019m fine with.
I've got the TTRS brakes on my mk6. Good OEM+ option for you mk6 and mk7 guys. Direct bolt on. They help out a lot on the track. Stoptech pads for street and carbotech xp10 on track. EVO and STI pads fit as well.
If your just daily driving then OEM is fine, if you're looking for a slight upgrade then I recommend Carbotech 1521 Bobcat pads. I have the Carbotechs and they are nice.
I have StopTech Street Pads and Centric rotors, not drilled or slotted - just regular with no coatings.
Try the StopTech street performance pads. Perfectly suitable for a daily. Ran them in 2 cars without trouble and what i consider very little dust compared to the porterfields I was running.
