Owner reviews for brake pads

Currently running yellow stuff and their slotted rotors all around on my 16 SE . Honestly for the money they are the best pad I've ever used. Once you get through the bed in cycle they will put you through the windshield...

I've been happy with my Hawk HPS. I don't track my car, but they handle the dragon fine.

I've run Red Stuff for five years. I definitely recommend for stopping power and low dust.

I had red stuff on my old A4. Had no complaints.

I've got Red Stuff on all 4 corners. Quiet, near zero dusting and very good pedal feel.

I use Hawk HP Plus pads on track days. They bite great when cold and can take some punishment. They howl like a banshee during normal braking

I have brembo uv coated rotors front and rear. I only put them on in the fall but through 1 winter they still look like new. I have stoptech pads as well and they work very well, a solid improvement over stock, butttt they dust A LOT.

I have been using Stoptechs since uhmmm.. 2009? They have good initial bite and good braking feel. The down side is that they produce so much dust.

What type of maintenance do they need? Can you get parts for them (say brake pads) easily?

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.
