Stoptech brake test mounted to the spindles. I buffed off the Stoptech logo with buffing compound. I prefer the understated look.
Pads: I like EBC Redstuff.
Actually just installed a set in my MK6 GLI and they are a whole lot better than the OEM branded pads.
Noticeable braking distance reduction, but they do produce more dust than stock.
There is a noticeable difference between OEM pads and these along with high temp brake fluid when doing 20 min sessions at Portland International Raceway... less fade and shorter stopping distance. Also the pads are still quiet and about same brake dust as OEM.
Pad compound and lever setting make a big difference. Fully sintered pads were a complete night and day difference on both my bikes. Easily twice the bite over stock (brand new OEM pads) the rotors are still good to go after 6 months. You can't run a sintered rear without a sintered front but you can go the other way (ebc instructions). I would order up a set of sintered hh front pads and I bet it makes a huge difference. Stock pads are set up for a quiet, linear, long lasting and user friendly compound.
I've had success with the EBC yellownbrake pads for DD and track duties.
Just installed EBC yellow stuff pads, front only, for an upcoming track day and they are dead silent just like the stock pads were. Couldn't be happier with them-- so far....
GTI Brakes with StopTec Slotted Rotors and Brake pads
We had really bad luck with EBC yellows, had a pad seperate from the backing plate, then the next set warped after one track day. Never again.
