Stoptech Slotted Rotors, EBC Redstuff pads
ONE8TURBSKI said: Check for brake pad deposits, VW uses absolute garbage for pads these days. Click to expand... Yeah so I think this may be it. I took it out a weekend morning ago and did some standing on the brakes. It's much better now. Actually can live with it.
EBC red is great. I hated Hawk HPS for the same reason, especially in the winter.
I purchased Durango rotors and Wagner brakes for my 2015 cx5 back in May 2018. According to my buddy my brakes were only 50%/35%(front/back/) done. I told him to change it anyways since he pulled them apart anyways. That was around 105k. Around Jan 2020, the rear brakes were squeaking. My buddy pulled them apart, and the rear brakes were completely done. The odometer was around 190k . I replaced them with centric rotors and power stop pads. The front was not changed as it looks like 70 left.
EBC red with Girodisc rotors has been working really well for me so far.
My pad in recent years has been EBC red. Better initial bite than OEM, no fade, no dust, no noise. If you track, EBC yellow might be a better choice but they tend to squeal at low speed. My only negative opinion is Hawk HPS which had scary bad initial bite when cold. They were OK after a few stops.
Stoptech brake discs and EBC brake oads.
I liked the feel of EBC Yellow better but everyone bags on EBC and they were dustier than the Hawks.
I'm running EBC Yellows on my 15 WRX now, so similar in curb weight. Not great for a daily IMO. They squeal pretty bad and the dust build up is pretty significant. Have about 15K miles and 2 autocrosses on them and they perform great. Good bite when cold and even better if they get warmed up.
Honestly, I think ebc hh are overpriced hot garbage.
