I track mine with ebc yellow and blanks. I just bought another set from them. They sell kits. A few hundred total front and rear. Use plenty of brake lube on the backing plates or the squealing will be insane! If just street use, red is plenty good.
I have EBC yellow stuf pads with thier sloted rotors and love them. If your not going to go as hard and don't like break dust ho with the red stuf pads.
I got the redstuff pads and the ebc rotors about 3 months ago and they stop so so hard. I cannot compare them to anything else I have driven. They make stopping hard feel comfortable. The only thing I will warn you of is the squeaking. It gets better after about 1k miles but it hasnt completely gone away for me.
EBC Red Stuff! I swapped to them and some of their slotted rotors last month. They’re awesome!
The EBC Reds I run have been super low dust for me.
I’ve run ebc red stuffs on autocross and spirited mountain cruises. They held up great, never over heated, and kept less dust. Key being LESS, not none. However, this was on a 200hp mini so I can’t speak to how they’ll hold up on higher power applications. Bedding them in properly goes a long way towards long life. I put about 6 autox, 15k mi, and 2 track days on a set and they were about 40% left.
I run EBC Red Stuffs for the street and i drive in the canyons "spiritedly" and love em.
So far I've ordered EBC Yellow Stuff pads (I've heard mixed reviews but the best alternatives seemed to be ~$500 a set so these will have to do)
I recently changed the brakes on my MK7.5 Non PP GTI, I chose EBC Redstuff for the disks and pads. I have bedded them in and driven a bit over this per the manual, for the first few weeks I didn't have any issues and they are a lot grabbier than the OEM ones. But with some recent spirited driving, I found that these pads under light to heavy breaking on the front get cooked in less than a mile. Ended up coming to a corner and the pedal was firm, then it wasn't and it was squirming about and not slowing. Getting out of the vehicle I found the pads were smoking really badly as well the heat coming off them had turned the disks blue on the front, while the rears were warm, but nowhere near as bad as the front. The OEM pads took way more abuse, even then they would just judder when they go too hot and never fadded or gave the same symptoms.
I had Redstuff on mine for over 2 years and while they weren't that dusty, they felt horrible, didn't stop well, and eventually disintegrated.
