Owner reviews for brake pads

I ran carbotechs on my mkV, they are absolutely fantastic for the track. A bit scary on the street totally cold but very livable if you make sure to warm them up.

They replaced everything brakewise, pads/discs/calipers/.. and everything on charge of Audi ofc.

brakes are replaced by Raybestos Police purpose built brakes, and any other part, interior or exterior, is replaced as needed.

I used ebc yellows on a 93 mr2 turbo at road Atlanta for 2 full track days this spring with no issues. Also dailied it for a while with them as well.

Run EBC red and be happy. Much better than Hawk HPS (or even HP+ for certain use), and not comparable to the Akebonos because those (Akebono) are really low dust pads with no bite for a heavy and sporty car like the TT.

run redstuff with powerslot slotted rotors never have had a problem will be upgrading to a BBK soon though

I run EBC redstuff and Ultimax rotors on my TT and really like the stopping power. Have run the pads for over year in both street and track and the rotors for 2 years of both street and track without issues. My CC run greenstuff and although the stopping power is great, they have way too much dust for my taste.

I run these in my Mk6 GTI and R here in Australia with great results - much less brake dust and they perform really well. I run them with the stock rotors. A work mate recently purchased a Mk7 R and changed the pads out to Remsa within the first month or two.

Rear break pads...

the increased rotor size creates a noticeable lag in acceleration and when cornering you feel the increased inertia in the steering wheel. after having this setup on my car for a year i'm going back to stock (just some drilled rotors, stainless lines and hawk pads). not a fan.
