I've always been a big fan of EBC pads since I did them on a 98 GLX I had. I actually recommend them to people who want something a bit more aggressive but don't want a race pad.
One of the Sciroccos currently has EBC green stuff pads and EBC slotted rotors. Not a single issue.
I put EBC Red pads on my MINI and they have been great, the car stops better and I see no dust at all on the wheels.
I've very much enjoyed my EBC green pads on my dailies, they do dust a bit but grab pretty nice and don't squeal. Never had a buildup that causes vibration.
I've run multiple sets (Green Stuff and Yellow Stuff) without issue. Yes, the yellows dust quite a bit but no more than most semi-metallic pads I've had. As far as vibrations go, my 2013 Abarth has Yellow Stuffs all around that feel great and just completed a track day last Monday without issue.
The issue with the brakes is mainly from the oe brake pads which have no pedal modulation and act like an on/off switch. You can change out the front pads to Akebono Euro pads (fairly inexpensive) and it will provide actual pedal control of the brakes.
I changed out the stock pads for EBC reds in the first couple thousand miles, so I will see how that ratio works out.
312 upgrade. Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads.
I got EBC red pads from ECS for my SQ5 I got 40000km to a set of fronts/rears but man they were shot when they came off.
I faded the yellows a few times (on track) and they were way dustier than HPS.
