I've fitted EBC yellow stuff pads (and standard VW discs), and I've found the braking performance to be amazing for road use. These pads were so much better than anything I've bought over the counter from VW.
I have settled on the Hps pads over red stuff. They both have good pedal feel, stopping power and fade resistance, but the deciding factor was the amount of dust they make. Red Stuff pads make nasty dust, but the Hawk pads are virtually dustless.

Right now I have EBC Red Stuff pads, front and rear, and there is NO dust on the wheels.. I also installed stainless steel brake lines, and that helped get rid of the spongy brake pedal.. The Red Stuff pads have a really good bite, and don't have much fade even on some of the long downhills in the mountains around here.. I've probably got close to 50,000 miles on these and there is still a lot of pad left, front and rear.. They will definitely be on the next car I get..

My Rabbit truck has 11.3 GTI rotors and calipers with EBC pads and still they fit under 15 inch wheels. And oh yea, it stops great.

I have EBC Red Stuff pads on all of my other cars, and they have been a very good choice. excellent stopping power & fade resistance, great pedal feel, no noise, and very low dust.
I had this issue with Hawk HPS, and had to tap on the brakes in heavy rain often. Have EBC Red now, they don't do this but they also don't stop the car well period.
dunno if same formula on Touareg pads, but they are HORRIBLE on my A4. They are low dust, but fade terribly - much worse than stock.
