I did several track days last year in my 2016 GTI with EBC blue stuff pads front and back. Really liked them. Stayed good for 20 and 30min sessions. Used fresh motul rbf600 fluid.
So, I run EBC yellow stuff, and they're honestly pretty fantastic street pads that will tolerate the use of light duty track days and autocross. I've ran them on multiple vehicles because they have a nice cold bite while still being able to cope with higher temps and having a good feel in modulation. Though, I've decided to for this season move to the blue stuff pads for one of the toys seeing track time this year. Do be warned, the Yellowstuff pads can be rather dusty.
I’ve been a big fan of every EBC pad I’ve used. I liked yellowstuff but not when it’s winter. When they are hot they are incomparable to anything else I’ve used (I have used very few different pads so this isn’t a real data point). I like greenstuff for anything but driving at 9/10ths or above. They tend to fade quickly. I’m running Redstuff pads now and they seem good but I haven’t pushed them. They have a little more overhead than greenstuff apparently. They work well at low temperatures.
on stock caliper, I recommend these
Girodisc Front rotors
OEM rear rotors
EBC Yellow pad front, rear
SRF Castrol DOT4 brake fluid.
I just recently did a EBS red stuff with EBC slotted rotors package deal and I've been super happy. Reduced dust, only a squeak or two when wet/super cold, and bite is much improved.
For added stop on high heat, I use EBC YELLOW STUFF pads.

I found Project Mu Club Racers to be decently streetable for a track pad. They do squeal a bit at less than 25 but are tolerable as long as they’re bedded in and you’re giving a decent amount of threshold pressure.
Be careful when buying brakes for the Stinger, if you buy anything cheaper than the originals you'll get a nasty judder within a couple thousand miles! I had to replace the disc and pads with EBC Yellow to get rid of it. The judder was awful.
I have personally ran these rotors with EBC HH pads. I blued them on my first track day and swapped to used OEMs before the next. They felt fine as far as bite but the immediate bluing shows they’re not up to any amount of real heat. If I ran them for a track day or two more they surely would’ve faded badly and warped. I don’t recommend them.
