I run EBC greens. Really nice bite, cold or hot, stock quiet, and a little less dusty than the yellows.
I use EBC Yellows for my STR NC and like them a lot.
I recommend ebc blues to everyone and always get positive feedback, they bite better than oem cold and way better warm they are very dusty though.
EBC yellows have been great for me. Minimal squeal and moderate dust I also tried a set of OEM style ceramic pads but faded them on a high speed autox course.
ebc yellows were great dual duty pads when I used them, but dusty. They feel good on the street and the few hard brake tests I've done felt like they bite well, much better than the OEM quality pads I had.
EBC redstuff, stoptech, OEM. All good pads. I think the redstuff pads dust a little less than OEM, but stopping power is really good from the factory for street driving.
I like OEM or stoptech rotors, again street driving.
I don’t tend to get a lot of life out of pads, but so far OEM rotors seem to last as long as 2 sets of pads. I just put on the stoptech rotors last time I did a brake job, so far so good.
A few years ago I went with Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic front pads - CENTRIC 10505690, currently $25.79 on RockAuto, and some Pagid front rotors from there. I know Pagid is a VW OEM and I have no reservations about their brake parts. I’ve run the posi-quiet pads on MK7 Golf and GTI and they’ve been fine.
I run the yellows on my rear brakes on my MK6 GoRf which is tracked. happy with all but yellows dust significantly more than reds
I’ve got ebc red stuff pads on my non performance GTI and they are ok. I probably will get something different next time around. They do dust a bit, probably the same as oem.
I had EBC green pads on my 21 CS-R, developed squeal and crazy dust.
