Brake pads EBC or Bendix

I’ve used EBC yellow stuffs on my RX8 and M3 daily’s supplemented with Brembo blanks. They work well for just putting around town and work especially well with heat in them. They do seem abrasive at speed and they do seem to wear rotors down perhaps a bit quicker, but I still could get 20k out of a set with a couple of track days.

I personally run Zimmermann rotors and EBC pads. No issues during heavy braking. Definitely buy quality rotors, cheap rotors warp pretty quickly.

I have had a set of OEM (centric i think) pads for a while, they have lasted well thru many mountain runs (no track days)....I am in need to new front rotors/pads, so upgrading to a slotted front and EBC yellows, going to leave the rears alone for now and see how it drives with the fronts upgraded

Bendix pads are very good. I haven't tried their rotors, but I wouldn't hesitate next time I have to change out.

So the Tiguan suspension is being dropped in today, along with some new EBC Red Stuff brake pads

I recently replaced my 18 GTI SE front pads with EBC Red stuffs. My only regret is not doing it day one. Great performance and 90% less dust.

I went with ECS's slotted rotors for both the front and rear, and EBC Redstuff pads all around. With new fluid, they've been great across the board. Less dust than the OEM pads in my experience, less fade, better performance all around

My EBC red pads do dust but no where near as bad as OEM

The negatives with EBC Yellow stuff is that they produce a HUGE amount of dust, and eat through rotors quickly. I had them on my wifes CX-9 with a set of their drilled and slotted rotors, they were horrible! The rotors had a vibration at anything over 45mph, and the dust they created was ridiculous.
