Closing the loop (sorry this is a bit long): the EBC Bluestuffs (eventually) performed super well for me at the HPDE this past weekend. I did have some noticeable shudder - but never any fade - develop after several laps during my Saturday morning sessions, but this went away as the brakes cooled and would not immediately be present at the begining of the following session, only reappearing once things got good and hot. I could not replicate it on the road during the Saturday lunch lull nor overnight. On Sunday the shudder was back only slightly during the morning's first session but by the second session had completely disappeared. After talking it through with several others that I trust, I'm content to chalk the shudder up to deposits on the rotors/not having changed nor prepped the rotors before installing the new pads. I'll not do it that way again. They definitely dust like crazy, but they were both responsive and predictible on track while being super well behaved on the street (so much so that I may just run them all the time). Even in my last session of the weekend, 17 laps of Summit Point main, I never had any doubt whatsoever about them performing for me heading into turn one. That sentence is about as good a review as I could give.

Pros: responsive and predictable
Cons: noticeable shudder, dust like crazy
Vehicle: Volkswagen

The 12.3 mk4/TT setup is great for my all other driving. Hell they were great even with my corrado and caddy trailer loaded (4,500+ lbs) on a 7,500+ lap around the USA.

Pros: great for all driving

EBC Brake pads

I’ve had this exact set on a track day/daily driver…they will not fully bed in for like 300-500KM, trust me. After that, they feel like the hand of God stopping the car.

Pros: excellent stopping power
Cons: long bed-in time
Mileage: 500 km

I've been more than happy with EBC Red Stuff pads - they hold up well to spirited mountain drives when I take my trips to AVF and Wookies each year, but have no downsides for daily driving duties. If tracking the car, you'll want something substantially more aggressive though.

Pros: hold up well, no downsides daily
Cons: need more aggressive for tracking

I've used them on track in NASA HPDE3 group. They are pretty much equivalent to the Hawk HP+, for a lighter weight car they are fine for track days but for a heavy car you will need a more race oriented pad.

Pros: fine for light cars
Cons: need race pad for heavy cars

Bendix Brake pads

I had bendix on my cars before, the gen CT and metal king has too much metal components, hence its noisy and scratches the rotors.

Cons: noisy, scratches rotors
