Brake pads EBC or Hella Pagid
Pagid is decent, I used them on my Cayman and it's survived 20 Laps of the Nurburgring and a track day.
I fitted a Pagid discs and pads (fronts and rears) to my Octavia vRS a couple of months back and don't notice any difference from the previous OEM. Paid £230 just for the parts.
The EBC pads (Red) that I installed 6 months or so ago have never made a peep at any time. They seemed to fit snugly in the calipers. Very happy with them mated to Zimmermann drilled rotors.
Lol paid £170 for my front brakes last week and did them myself. EBC's too.
Have a look at EBC, their “red stuff” pads work really well on my car and were nowhere near that price.
I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.
No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.
Replaced the rotors and went with EBC yellow stuff pads. They don't look quite that bad, but 2 years later they're hardly looking like clean swept rotor surfaces.
I tried yellow stuff a few years ago, absolutely shit.
Ditch EBC. Discs are OK. But pads are just pure viral marketing via forums etc. Played havoc with the ABS on my GC8 Subaru when I had them (ABS kicking in actually massively increased stopping distances).
