Brake pads EBC or TRW
I run EBC Yellow on stock discs. Car is used for spirited drives and the Nurburgring. No complaints in 10+ years of use
I've been using EBC Yellowstuff pads for a while and they've been great. My car gets used hard on the road, and occasionally on track. They don't last as long as standard pads, but worth it for the extra stopping power!
Have had them for a year or two now. Do the proper break-in procedure and they're a nice upgrade over stock. Honestly don't think anyone needs more for the streets
Wife swapped her OEMs to EBC yellows and it's night-and-day difference. 10/10 would recommend.
I have EBC front sets on an 08 C30 T5 M66 and 03 GS300. Both are Redstuff pads rather than Green as in the Kit below. Exceptional brakes so will use these when times come for our 2020 Tiguan.
Have found EBC Redstuff to work well on 3 vehicle makes thus far though only 1 car almost had a complete front and rear set. EBC front pads and rotors and EBC rear pads with aftermarket rotors. They have good initial bite and feedback with reduced stopping distance. Good wear with no noise except one set.
Ive really enjoyed EBC brake pads on my LR3
EBC Reds FTW...great performance and I can go a few weeks between wheel cleanings and even then its very light. The barrels are way easier to clean up
For rotors I have cross drilled brembos, they are pretty nice. And for pads I have EBC yellow stuff which is a track pad and I can’t tell any difference over oem. Just a shit ton of brake dust which I’m sick and tired of.
I recently changed the brakes on my MK7.5 Non PP GTI, I chose EBC Redstuff for the disks and pads. I have bedded them in and driven a bit over this per the manual, for the first few weeks I didn't have any issues and they are a lot grabbier than the OEM ones. But with some recent spirited driving, I found that these pads under light to heavy breaking on the front get cooked in less than a mile. Ended up coming to a corner and the pedal was firm, then it wasn't and it was squirming about and not slowing. Getting out of the vehicle I found the pads were smoking really badly as well the heat coming off them had turned the disks blue on the front, while the rears were warm, but nowhere near as bad as the front. The OEM pads took way more abuse, even then they would just judder when they go too hot and never fadded or gave the same symptoms.
