Reviews of EBC brake pads

Alright, I will look into the Green stuff. I'm just not wanting to go too high, because I have many other things needing fixed on the car (80k mile service stuff, tires, check engine light. etc.... Trying to get it all done as soon as possible, using a little of each paycheck I get.) Autozone only carries Duralast... which doesn't have the best reviews on their website. And last time I did a pair of my brakes, they gave me the wrong ones and I didn't realize it until the car was apart. Quick question... Are these the exact same item, or am i missing a difference?: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Jetta_VI-Sedan-2.0/ES517817/ http://www.amazon.com/EBC-Brakes-DP...Series/dp/B001C8WOH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405277008&sr=8-1&keywords= DP21517 I ask, because ECS says they fit my car and Amazon says they don't. But they are the same Part # (but amazon is $10 cheaper and has free ship.). EDIT: Also, is their a DIY guide for doing brakes on the MKVI? I don't do a lot of car repairs myself (Limited time/bad back from wreck, that makes working on cars hard)... But I am willing to give it a try if I have an idea of what I am doing.

I use EBC Greenstuff pads and I love them, run about $150 front & rear.

Get EBC Red Stuffs, not Green Stuffs. The Red's will give you better stopping power with MUCH less brake dust.

I went with the Red Stuff pads and they have been noise free and stop on a dime. Very low dust, especially when used with the armor all wheel protector.

I went from stock pads to redstuff, and the brake dust is about 1/4 to 1/3 of what it was. The stock pad's dust was really hard to remove as well. The redstuff pad dust, the little that is there come off easily. I do find that the redstuff pads quickly heat up the calipers though and they tend to fade more then with the stock pads.

I used disks from JC Whitney and pads from EBC (EBC red stuff, nice, came with all sensors, anti squeak pads, a little packet of anti seize for the caliper pins).

I can tell you that after having my EBC slotted rotors and greenstuff pads on for several months, I am very happy with the upgrade. The setup I have now bites better than I could have hoped for.

Ebc pads are total garbage.

Don't buy EBC greens for the van. I put a full set on and the van has horrible braking performance before the pads heat up, which we almost never do. Cold pad performance is almost dangerous. Get something with more initial bite.

I'm a big fan of EBC red stuff pads, IMO they are the best and actually have to go through testing to get a cert number that proves they do EVERYTHING better than the OEM pads
