I have also used ebc green in the rear with good results but I am now on Porterfields.
Leon was able to replace my fronts, and I only had to pay for pads (EBC Greenstuff Compound, I'll never use VW Jurid/Pagid pads again).
EBC brakes, Injen SRI, ridiculous stereo, etc.
Don't rule out EBC Greenstuff - they completely transformed my wife's Camry - it couldn't stop from the factory, it couldn't stop after I spent alot of money on new pads, rotors, lines from some "brake expert", and when I installed EBCs the car is now FUN to play the stop sign game.
I would highly recommend EBC greens for an A1 or A2 owner looking for a decent track day capable street pad.
I actually love my EBCs for street use. Incredible cold bite, no dust (ever), no squeak (ever), and my rotors and pads still look brand new after 6 months.
I have the greens - love them. Almost no brake dust and good performance (haven't had any track time with them though).
I could get some EBC Greenstuff rear pads for a mere $49.
If you are doin competition, yeah, EBC pads and slotted / drilled are worthwhile, but for mere performance road use, there's no point (except for looks). The rotors wear faster, create more dust, and the pads, whilst they may not create as much dust, will squeal.
EBC's warped my stock VW front rotors in less than 2000 miles, replaced with Zimmerman cross drilled, warped those within 3500 miles. This is with casual city driving and NO racing/autocrossing. After I warped the stockers, I was very careful about not holding the brakes after coming to a hard stop. Doesn't matter I guess. My wheels were usually warm/hot to the touch after almost zero braking highway driving. Now I have Mintex, and they work great for city driving. Wheels stay cool, and so far no warpage on my third set of rotors..
