Brake pads EBC or Bendix

I went with reds I installed EBC reds front and rear. Dustless and better stopping power without the initial grab of the stockers. I'm happy with them.

I have been running EBC yellow's on pretty much ALL my cars for the last 7-8 years. They always make a noticeable difference. On a GTI PP it seems like way more than that, the initial bite is just unbelievable (and I've bedded them in, it's not the initial bedding compound they put on them). I feel like I've gone up to a 6pot caliper! Guess the OEM pads SUCK and the OEM PP brakes have way better potential than I thought. With just a pad upgrade I feel like the brakes are totally up to the extra 50-60% HP I have over stock

I replaced mine a few years ago with new rotors from Zimmerman since it was the third change and I have been very happy with them. The stopping distance seems to be a bit better and more responsive. Also, they produce much less dust than the OEM VW pads and I believe have Kevlar mixed in the compound.

Sorry it's a little late, but I've been using EBC yellows on my MK6 for double duty and I have no complaints other than the dust. They certainly make no noise.

I put EBC Red stuff on my GTI (non-PP). I thought the stock pads were too aggressive when driving around town. The reds are less touchy when lightly applied and stop quite well. Very little brake dust. I'm very happy with them.

I used ebc yellows on a 93 mr2 turbo at road Atlanta for 2 full track days this spring with no issues. Also dailied it for a while with them as well.

Run EBC red and be happy. Much better than Hawk HPS (or even HP+ for certain use), and not comparable to the Akebonos because those (Akebono) are really low dust pads with no bite for a heavy and sporty car like the TT.

run redstuff with powerslot slotted rotors never have had a problem will be upgrading to a BBK soon though

I thought about changing the pads to EBC but I am not really sold on that brand.

I've had horrible experiences with EBC redstuff pads squealing and their customer service lacking in the past.
