Brake pads EBC or Bosch
Ebc yellow stuff pads are pretty nice. Got em on my NB. Wouldn’t hurt to replace your pads with those. Break in process asks for new rotors but you can probably get away without em if you really don’t wanna do it, I did.
I put ultimax on my 3, and I can stop on a dime.
Am avut si eu la un golf 4 tot bosch.. scartaiau la viteza redusa.. cand eram aproape sa opresc.
Le-am schimbat si am pus ate. Din prima zi au mers brici fara nici un scartait.
I ended up picking up Bosch ceramics for the rear + new aftermarket rotors since the stock ones had 1 mm left to min thickness. Have tried not to brake too hard since install couple days ago, but had to a couple times anyway (toronto highway traffic) braking felt just as good as the stock pads.
For what it's worth, I had the shudder too, it was pad deposits on the rotors. New EBC pads, some hard braking, and it went away.
I just put red stuff on my Stinger GT2 and love them . I also put geo series drilled and slotted rotors. What I will share with you is I had to pull the metal plates off my break pads so that they could fit but other than that their great.
I've been daily driving my SR11 for a year, and almost 10k miles in my Type R. Never had these issues, not even close. As someone else said, I have immediate bite even in zero degree temps. Have tracked them a few times with no issues either. I bought another set for when these eventually wear out, although that is taking a while.
I have tried EBC yellowstuff and Ferodo DS2500. EBC yellowstuff won't handle anything on track...they just melt, they arent bad for the price but I prefer the DS2500.
Because they are. Best thing to do is buy some EBC pads and better rotors. I don't know what color pads EBC to get. I'm planning to do my brakes as well soon and we'll start researching.
Be careful when buying brakes for the Stinger, if you buy anything cheaper than the originals you'll get a nasty judder within a couple thousand miles! I had to replace the disc and pads with EBC Yellow to get rid of it. The judder was awful.
