I switched to Centric PosiQuiet Ceramic Pads and not only they brake better, but produces little to no dust.
Stoptech Slotted Rotors, EBC Redstuff pads
ONE8TURBSKI said: Check for brake pad deposits, VW uses absolute garbage for pads these days. Click to expand... Yeah so I think this may be it. I took it out a weekend morning ago and did some standing on the brakes. It's much better now. Actually can live with it.
I have 28k miles on my 2017 G2, the brake fluid was almost black. I flushed it all out, and I noticed some very minor air bubbles when we started initially pumping the brake fluid. I also switched over to new Centric pads and rotors. Much improved brake feel and firmness
EBC red is great. I hated Hawk HPS for the same reason, especially in the winter.
EBC red with Girodisc rotors has been working really well for me so far.
My pad in recent years has been EBC red. Better initial bite than OEM, no fade, no dust, no noise. If you track, EBC yellow might be a better choice but they tend to squeal at low speed. My only negative opinion is Hawk HPS which had scary bad initial bite when cold. They were OK after a few stops.
Stoptech brake discs and EBC brake oads.
I went with the APR rotors and EBC Yellow pads all around, which are supposedly track oriented. The rotors are good, but remember that any type of slotted or drilled rotors will be hard on pads than smooth rotors. EBC Yellows are the recommended pads for light track use. I did two track days and put on about 5k miles. The pads are slow to grab on the street, meaning that they need to warm up before heavy braking.
I ran them on my mustang. They were dirty and occasionally loud. They also didn't last for shit as I believe they are really formulated for lighter cars.
