Rating 4.5

i went with EBC Grenstuff pads and stock/oem pagent brand discs, brake fade was an issue before but now is non existant, also pad dust is less of an issue and it doesnt seem to stick to the wheels as badly as the stock Bmw pads that were fitted before. All in i would definately fit them again theyve made a marked improvement on stopping distance, they were £60 for a front pair and i went with oem on the rears.

Pros: less brake dust, improved stopping
Cons: none mentioned
Vehicle: MINI

EBC Brake pads

Alright, I appreciate everyone's feedback. I checked out RockAuto, and they have good deals... BUT, the shipping kind of kills it. (I put together pads/rotors, and the shipping was nearly $100 with each part coming from a different warehouse.). Somebody told me to get EBC Redstuff pads, which I hear is good. I checked Amazon but couldn't find any that fit my car (BUT I hear their 'Does this fit my car' tool doesn't work well.). Another site said that EBC DP32075C fit's the Jetta S.... But it also says 'With bosch calibers'. Is their an easy way to tell if mine came with Bosch Calibers (Or were they even an option on Jettas?)? Sorry for all the questions... And thanks again for all the help. I never realized how hard it would be to find decent brakes for a newer car.

Pros: good deals, good reputation
Cons: high shipping costs, fitment uncertainty
Part number: DP32075C

Get EBC Red Stuffs, not Green Stuffs. The Red's will give you better stopping power with MUCH less brake dust.

Pros: better stopping power, less dust

Don't buy EBC greens for the van. I put a full set on and the van has horrible braking performance before the pads heat up, which we almost never do. Cold pad performance is almost dangerous. Get something with more initial bite.

Pros: more initial bite needed
Cons: horrible braking performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen
