Brake pads EBC or OEM Volkswagen
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.
I’m very happy with EBC pads (red stuff)and EBC slotted rotors
I'd do a stock replacement rotor (Zimm) and a pad with a bit more heat tolerance (not a track pad by any means) to deal with the trailer. Reds are fine street pads but will cave to heat somewhat easily.
I do like EBC Redstuff, no issues with initial bite in the winter time.
Voted EBC Redstuff for mostly street car. Reds produce notably less dust.
EBC Redstuff is really a great pad for this car. 10/10 would recommend
I went with the APR rotors and EBC Yellow pads all around, which are supposedly track oriented. The rotors are good, but remember that any type of slotted or drilled rotors will be hard on pads than smooth rotors. EBC Yellows are the recommended pads for light track use. I did two track days and put on about 5k miles. The pads are slow to grab on the street, meaning that they need to warm up before heavy braking.
I had EBC red and green stuff on another car, would never buy again.
I've never liked the products of EBC. I purchased some green stuff year ago. One of the worst decisions I ever did. Never went back for more punishment.
