I have scirocco 10.1's up front and 8(?) discs out back with mk4 calipers. All four have Hawk HPS pads I believe. They're more than enough stopping power, OEM, and very affordable if you buy them on vortex, ebay, or a junkyard.
I installed EBC Red pads about 2 weeks ago. I don't have any squeaking problems, pedal is super stiff and grabs incredibly fast. The dust is really low in comparison to the stock pads. At this point my white wheels would be covered in black. The dust on there now is acceptable in my opinion. I know others don't like the EBC brakes. So far, I'm very happy with them. Hope this helps you.
I got the EBC Red brake pads installed front and rear. I ever so slightly cleaned the wheels the same day they were installed. So far so good. I haven't noticed any large amounts of brake dust. Stopping is great. Brake pedal is more touchy now. Overall I'm very happy with them!
R32 front brakes with hawk pads (installed at 25k)
Found EBC Yellow stuffs for the TTRS calipers for $140 (I've found EBC yellow stuffs a good compromise semi-squeal daily drive and decent on the track)
EPC light on usually is coils or spark. find misfire plug and then move to another and see if it moves if it moves then its coil if not replace spark plugs and try again.
Hawk HPS are outstanding, good bite with very linear feel and low dust
Installed the EBC redstuff over the weekend, wow i love these brake pads, much better bite than OEM pads, and no noise. Not sure about the dust yet, car is dirty, but bite is amazing, im super satisfied
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.
I've used them on my previous car and wasn't impressed, HP+ on the other hand was a much better choice for me (not to mention quite a bit cheaper)
