been looking at yellow stuff, as what I hear to be a great pad, and is more affordable than I imagined it would be.
I’ve dailied Redstuffs for 4 years now with no problem. They bite well, they don’t squeal, and they don’t make much dust.
No complaints about excessive dust, noise, or harshness - great pad upgrade with no glaring downside IMO.
Switch to EBC red pads if you aren’t gonna track it
I went with the EBC red stuff pads on my F90 and so far it’s been great. I don’t track the car, and I’d say my stopping power feels no different than the stock pads. I just hope they last forever like the stock lol.
Swap for EBC red pads and you’ll never see dust again. Good cold pad bite + super quiet. Big step up from the factory bmw “sport” pads.
The stock pads that came on my RS3 were god awful for brake dust. After 2 days of normal highway driving they looked like crap. They also hit the wear sensor after only 15k miles which is bananas for a mostly highway driven car. I bought a set with a new pair of 2 piece rotors and the difference is night and day. Braking is much stronger and zero fade even in more demanding conditions (the two piece rotors obviously help with that) I’ve had them on for 25k miles and they have very little wear on them. I’d definitely buy them again. That said, be warned that for like 500-1000 miles after they are installed, your wheels will be the dustiest you’ve ever seen. Once that wears off, they run very clean.
Just did EBC Redstuff and EBC USR slotted rotors on my GTI and they have been great.
I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?
Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
