I use Powerstop Drilled and slotted. Been the best for not developing a squeak and glaze.
I recently-ish replaced my pads and rotors with the Powerstop Z26 stuff. Works fine, and makes a lot less dust. Can't say I've noticed a huge difference in braking force.
Ran this set for the last 3 years, about 20,000 miles. They look and work great with factory calipers (I painted mine while I was installing).
Been using EBC Yellow Stuff for about a month now and love em. At the same time I got Continental summer tires put on as well. It's crazy how much more braking power this set up gas, however you may have to get used to the firmness, took me a couple weeks to soft stop again without a minor jerk when finally stopped, and I notice tire nose more now as well.
I would also recommend the Yellowstuff pads. They are a bit more expensive than the reds, but worth it. I've cooked my red stuffs a few times and the yellows seemed to be much more temperature resilient, I'll be switching back when these die. I also didn't experience any less cold bite from the yellows compared to the reds, which is important on a street pad.
I've always run EBC YellowStuff, and paired them with DBA 4000 T3 rotors, on all my cars, even before I did the STi Brembo swap on my WRX.
I’ve been really liking my powerstops. $375 for rotors and carbon fiber ceramic pads. Easy install and they’re super quiet. Have yet to really drive them hard but for daily/spirited driving I’m super happy with them.
For regular use as a daily driver with regular spirited driving I really like EBC yellow pads. Honestly, those pads combined with StopTech rotors has been a great upgrade for my daily-driven car.
I’ve got ebc red stuff pads on my non performance GTI and they are ok. I probably will get something different next time around. They do dust a bit, probably the same as oem.
Not a fan of EBC, had yellow and blew through them in one track session.
