I use EBC and they're great, the yellows specifically. Very rarely overheat and fade, get better the hotter they are and provide great stopping power.
I got my front and rear ebc yellow stuff pads from new provisions racing. Installed and fit perfect, increases initial bite with a little bit more noise and definitely more dust. Worth it IMO, stock pads had weak initial bite.
I always recommend EBC. 300-400 for all four wheels and pads can’t beat it and they’re better than anything you’ll find at autozone too.
I put a set of these on the front and back of my Audi, and I loved the performance and the added feeling of control and safety when using them.
A set of euro ceramic pads is about $50, it's just not worth the drama for something so inexpensive right/wrong on VWs part. The DIY is v. simple but even if you pay a shop, it's an hour of labor to get on with your life.
I am doing EBC Red Pads. I like the stopping power, and drivability of the car for everyday driving and track as well.
Yup, I was very persistent and the dealership covered the cost for new brake pads, and the labor. The rotors were in good shape. Bottom line, i paid nothing. Of course, others experiences may vary. The fact still remains, this was a Volkswagen issue, not a dealership issue, but those two entities are viewed as one, especially when i spent $90,000 with them in a year. I was authorized to spend $282,000 on company vehicles, but once the brakes started acting up, making noise, and the dealer acting like dummies, refusing to take action, I purchased 4 vehicles through a different brand for our sales team company vehicles. Too bad too, I had it all worked out as to how much I would pay for 4 Atlas's, the specs, etc. Because the dealer refused to acknowledge the issue and put it back on me, I didn't want to give them any more of my money. They ended up making it right for me, but not until I took my future business elsewhere.
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)
Not a fan of EBC, had yellow and blew through them in one track session.
Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
