I replaced my Mk6 stock pads with EBC RedStuff and love them (better feel under hard braking and practically no dust).
I bought EBC BlueStuff pads. Amazing on track and they don’t feel like track pads on the street.
Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.
I swapped out to EBC pads and rotors. And won't go back to OEM.
Running red stuff pads and slotted EBC rotors on my daily. Stops fast enough to peel your face off. No noise now that I've rebuilt the calipers and made sure that everything is able to move properly.
Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows. Pedal feel with the Endless fluid was consistent as well.
I ran EBC Redstuff on my 09 R56 and they were great. Very nice sporty braking but it wasn't overly aggressive and the noise and dust was pretty low. Made for a great daily driver with better than stock braking.
I have ebc reds. I still get lots of brake dust and I prefer the bite of oem pads more. Not to say reds are bad, they just didn't meet my expectations for a daily.
I’m not a mechanic by any means (I do try to work on my car myself for what I can fix and know how to do) but I’m gonna throw my own car under the bus and say VW. Why tf do I need specialized tools, and why do barely any after market parts fit my car?
I'm jumping in here on red stuff EBCs. They're good for initial bite but have awful brake fade on light applications and are noisy as hell. I've pulled the rears off twice to smear the backing plate in grease just to keep them quiet. Probably should've just replaced them entirely. Not worth.
