I put a set of these on the front and back of my Audi, and I loved the performance and the added feeling of control and safety when using them.
I got a nice upgraded pad and rotor kit (all 4) for around $340. If you already have a set of wrenches, you can probably just do the job yourself; so many youtube tutorials. I did a full brake job on my other car for the first time ever so bought all the tools needed (maybe $150 worth) - wrench set, torque wrench, breaker bar, wire brushes, grease, brakleen spray - and still very much under what I would have spent at a mechanic. If you have the space and time, it's really not that bad and can actually be enjoyable with some beer and tunes. Would never go to the dealer for something like that unless I had money to burn.
I am doing EBC Red Pads. I like the stopping power, and drivability of the car for everyday driving and track as well.
I have the ebc green pads for my '08S and my '19S. Along with the rotors from EBC. Love them on both cars.
Used these all last season for autocross and track and they performed great, no noticeable fade and bites hard, dust was significantly more than stock though imho
I've got an alltrack (same brakes as the standard gti) and I've got ate rotors from fcp with bosch quietcast pads from rock auto. I was just looking for stock replacement and they have 10k miles on them so far with no complaints.
I run EBC Yellow on stock discs. Car is used for spirited drives and the Nurburgring. No complaints in 10+ years of use
I've been using EBC Yellowstuff pads for a while and they've been great. My car gets used hard on the road, and occasionally on track. They don't last as long as standard pads, but worth it for the extra stopping power!
Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.
I wouldn’t recommend EBC red stuff. They have been incredibly dusty, for me anyways.
