Best Brake pads for Volkswagen Gol

I ran r1 concepts ceramic pads and rotors on my mk6 and they were awesome for all 4 for under $450 with a 20% off coupon on their website

Zimmerman blank rotors + TRW pads. I just did my first brake change and these are silent and cost less than $400 for rotors/pads/bolts/grease.

I swapped my stocks for TRW/Zimmerman pad/rotors and so far they feel good.

Ferodo ds2500 is a great option. I’ve heard yellows are noisy/dusty. I’ve inhaled plumes of it first hand on the track.

I replaced my Mk6 stock pads with EBC RedStuff and love them (better feel under hard braking and practically no dust).

I put ATE200 + Ferodo DS2500 pads on my Mk7 in prep for its one (half) trackday, have been on for a few thousand street miles and work well at all temps.

I ran EBC yellows at PittRace on my Golf R and they held up fine.

I run ATE Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my MK7 and am very satisfied.

I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?

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.
