I also currently have EBC red installed with golf R retaining clips and tyrol sport brake caliper stiffening kit and tyrol sport stainless steal brake lines and the noise was not present until maybe around 8,000 miles into the new pads. The car still stopped on a dime, thats all I was really concerned about.
I'm running EBC RedStuff and I'm a fan of them. I probably see the canyons twice a week and they've held up very well in those conditions. Also almost no noise. The only time there's a bit of squeezing is for a bit in the morning when it's cold.
EBC Greenstuff 2000 series. Or the EBC Redstuff series if you're a very spirited driver. But the greenstuff should be plenty effective even if you are a spirited driver. The dust production is very minimal and very easy to wipe off by hand without any cleaner
Planing on going with the green stuff brake pads. 20% off! Sale ends today guys.
Personally I use EBC "Green Stuff" pads and am pretty happy with them.
i went with EBC Grenstuff pads and stock/oem pagent brand discs, brake fade was an issue before but now is non existant, also pad dust is less of an issue and it doesnt seem to stick to the wheels as badly as the stock Bmw pads that were fitted before. All in i would definately fit them again theyve made a marked improvement on stopping distance, they were £60 for a front pair and i went with oem on the rears.
Current Upgrades EBC Yellow Stuff Ceramic Brake Pads
Alright, I appreciate everyone's feedback. I checked out RockAuto, and they have good deals... BUT, the shipping kind of kills it. (I put together pads/rotors, and the shipping was nearly $100 with each part coming from a different warehouse.). Somebody told me to get EBC Redstuff pads, which I hear is good. I checked Amazon but couldn't find any that fit my car (BUT I hear their 'Does this fit my car' tool doesn't work well.). Another site said that EBC DP32075C fit's the Jetta S.... But it also says 'With bosch calibers'. Is their an easy way to tell if mine came with Bosch Calibers (Or were they even an option on Jettas?)? Sorry for all the questions... And thanks again for all the help. I never realized how hard it would be to find decent brakes for a newer car.
Alright, I will look into the Green stuff. I'm just not wanting to go too high, because I have many other things needing fixed on the car (80k mile service stuff, tires, check engine light. etc.... Trying to get it all done as soon as possible, using a little of each paycheck I get.) Autozone only carries Duralast... which doesn't have the best reviews on their website. And last time I did a pair of my brakes, they gave me the wrong ones and I didn't realize it until the car was apart. Quick question... Are these the exact same item, or am i missing a difference?: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Jetta_VI-Sedan-2.0/ES517817/ http://www.amazon.com/EBC-Brakes-DP...Series/dp/B001C8WOH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405277008&sr=8-1&keywords= DP21517 I ask, because ECS says they fit my car and Amazon says they don't. But they are the same Part # (but amazon is $10 cheaper and has free ship.). EDIT: Also, is their a DIY guide for doing brakes on the MKVI? I don't do a lot of car repairs myself (Limited time/bad back from wreck, that makes working on cars hard)... But I am willing to give it a try if I have an idea of what I am doing.
