I like them. Used them for 2 years and have a lot of backroads and a couple of track sessions on them. The shims that come with them rattle a lot.
I beat the hell out of some OE Textars in 110+ heat at Buttonwillow and they held up admirably. You don’t need anything more for the street.
I recently replaced my factory Kia front pads with some EHT's. Did not replace rotors, just cleaned and removed some rust on them. Applied some caliper grease to the proper areas and these pads so far have been really nice. A VERY noticeable difference vs. the factory pads in stopping power. My only complaint was that Raybestos did not include new pad retainer springs in the box.
I always had good results with textar and Zimmerman.
I use all Textar disks and pads and they are excellent.
Guy above says don’t go cheap….I just used some raybestos pads and rotors for the rear I got from rock auto for 100$. Cheap, fast and easy. First time doing brakes and despite some snags had it done in an hour.
Fitted my 2017 with new front/rear brakes and rotors yesterday. I went with the daily driver level Raybestos brand kit from Rockauto. Included both pads and rotors with hardware. Did the work myself. While I obviously can't say anything about longevity yet, performance seems good so far. Especially for the price when compared to over double for Duralast from my local AutoZone.
I've had great results from Raybestos ST43s and Ferodo DS2500s for dual duty.
I haven't done VW brakes in a while, but I usually use Textar pads on my BMW and Mini. They are OE supplier for most of the BMW brakes, but they do make a lot of dust.
Textar is hot garbage these days unfortunately
