Brake pads EBC or ATE

EBC yellowstuff pads, it stops on a dime now.

I suggest you use EBC brake pads but that's just personal choice.

currently running ebc yellow stuff and dba slotted rotors (cuz street cred bro!). probably going to do the same with blank rotors next time around. no noise, stops great but gets pretty dusty. works perfect for a daily that gets driven hard with the occasional track day

I run EBC yellowstuff and Centric blank OE replacement rotors. Stops on a dime.

Many folks here telling you to run hawk HPS but I WOULD NOT if you’re dailying. EBC yellow stuff, in my experience, stop better, are less noisy, but do produce a bit more dust. I purchased hawk hps when I had to replace my previous set of yellow stuff. Drove on them about 500 miles (at most) and ended up taking them off. They’re sitting in my garage with 95% life left. As for rotors, I currently run EBC drilled and slotted rotors. Last time I ran the EBC OE replacement rotors and they worked well too. Lastly, you want a little more bite than stock but less dust and noise than the EBC yellow stuff or Hawk HPS then go for EBC red stuff. I’m not biased at all with EBC, I am just talking from my experience as I’ve owned both highly recommended pads. I would never buy another pair of Hawks again.

Mine makes brake noise also, swapped the front pads over to EBC greens and it’s quiet now. Sad that VW says that was normal on my 2021 SEL R Cross sport. Brake pad change was easy.

Using ATE rotors and ceramic pads on my mk6. Very little dust. Still has very good bite compared to other standard OEM pads.

I kept stock rotors and just upgraded the pads to EBC RedStuff. From my internet searching, I determined that rotors weren't worth it unless I planned on tracking the car, which I don't. Someone else mentioned noise in comparing Red vs Yellow, and that was part of what swayed me toward Red (I think Red also has a longer life and/or less dust).

I have the same pads and rotors. They’re an upgrade over stock but man, the brake dust is insane lol

I have the ebc reds they are good but smh at the people saying they are not dusty. they are worst pads i have ever had for producing dust.
