New pads (EBC) are way better then the original ones. Swapped front ones a month ago and now rear.
Can't go wrong with EBC pads. Though I have not Auto-x'd with this car ,the RedStuff pads are pretty rugged and great for daily use. My R32 is my only car and my daily as well. Current set have been 100% but on the previous set of RedStuffs, I had one of the rear pads delaminate (just that one time/one set) . Have been using EBCs for the last 20+ years and they have been great overall.
EBC has been very good to me over many platforms last 20 years or so. Buy a package from whatever brand you choose. Matching pad compound to rotor is underrated .Longer bed in time with EBC but always a quality product.
Im running OEM rotors with EBC red stuff pads and they're working fine.
I've ran EBC RedStuff pads on my GTI and now my R and they are great. Any brake pad creates dust but these are a lot better than stock.
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.
EBC red is great. I hated Hawk HPS for the same reason, especially in the winter.
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.
Honestly, I think ebc hh are overpriced hot garbage.
