Brake pads EBC or Akebono

ebc yellows were great dual duty pads when I used them, but dusty. They feel good on the street and the few hard brake tests I've done felt like they bite well, much better than the OEM quality pads I had.

EBC redstuff, stoptech, OEM. All good pads. I think the redstuff pads dust a little less than OEM, but stopping power is really good from the factory for street driving.

I like OEM or stoptech rotors, again street driving.

I don’t tend to get a lot of life out of pads, but so far OEM rotors seem to last as long as 2 sets of pads. I just put on the stoptech rotors last time I did a brake job, so far so good.

I’m currently running Akebono performance pads (yellow box) and they have been great! No noise, minimal brake dust and way better stopping power.

I run the yellows on my rear brakes on my MK6 GoRf which is tracked. happy with all but yellows dust significantly more than reds

EBC Reds are great all arounders and excellent daily use pads on the R32 ,imo.

Akebono pads are pretty quiet and fairly clean too. They are OEM on some Mercedes. They are on my wife's 91 Cabriolet [w/Scirocco 16V F/R disc brakes]. Zimmerman rotors are pretty good. So are Textar.

i have ebc pads and rotors worth every penny

I use EBC and they're great, the yellows specifically. Very rarely overheat and fade, get better the hotter they are and provide great stopping power.

For rotors I have cross drilled brembos, they are pretty nice. And for pads I have EBC yellow stuff which is a track pad and I can’t tell any difference over oem. Just a shit ton of brake dust which I’m sick and tired of.

So I screwed up when I ordered the \"flywheel bolts\" for the trans swap. Reordered the flex plate bolts that would have been for the auto trans I pulled out.
