Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance
Blank rotors from tasca and hawk hps 5.0 pads. Feels and preforms great.
Hawk HPS... Had them on my Mk5 GTI with ATE Power Slot rotors. I used hell out of that setup at the N\u00fcrburgring and on the Autobahn.
Hawk HPS - not too expensive, great pads and they last forever with minimal dust. I am a fan
I am running Hawk HPS and the intial bite is awesome(eyeballs hit the windshield) even when cold, much better then HP+ that I had before.
Hawks HPS 5.0, that's what I have on my Jetta, that's what I'll be putting on the Camaro soon.
EBC Yellowstuff brake pads
I used Redstuff on my MKV. Low dust, good bite, no noise except sometimes in the cold using light application. I drive mostly suburban traffic. Pads didn't eat the rotors. They are a ceramic pad (unless EBC changed the formulation recently) so not to be used for track days.
I use these pads. They only make noise when its really cold out. After I drive/brake for a few minutes the noise goes away. I use these pads because I have white wheels. I get roughly an extra week and a half before my wheels look really bad. That alone was worth it to me. Rotors still look fine as well. Hope this helps.
I used them on the street and in autocross on my '79 RX-7 and would agree that they were noisy and dusty on the street - the dust also ate through the finish on my wheels on that car. I didn't have fade issues with them, but that car was light and not very powerful, so it wasn't very hard on brakes.
We had really bad luck with EBC yellows, had a pad seperate from the backing plate, then the next set warped after one track day. Never again.
