Brake pads EBC or Centric

Have found EBC Redstuff to work well on 3 vehicle makes thus far though only 1 car almost had a complete front and rear set. EBC front pads and rotors and EBC rear pads with aftermarket rotors. They have good initial bite and feedback with reduced stopping distance. Good wear with no noise except one set.

Ive really enjoyed EBC brake pads on my LR3

EBC Reds FTW...great performance and I can go a few weeks between wheel cleanings and even then its very light. The barrels are way easier to clean up

Install these. You will be glad you did....reduces brake dust by 90%. No difference in performance. I am 15K miles into mine and love these pads.

They're tried and tested by most of the community including me. They have great bite for street and spirited driving with virtually no brake dust and minimal noise.

EBC Extra Duty pads. Noticeably better then the Akebonos they replaced.

I went with Hella/Pagid stock rotors. EBC red stuff pads. All the difference. That's all it took. And there is noticeably less dust on the alloys.

I have Red Stuff pads and I feel that they have more initial bite than the stock pads, and once you're deeper in the pedal they feel pretty much the same as the stock pads. On the street I feel they are very comparable to stock and dust much less. More importantly, the dust is gray and doesn't turn rusty colored so it doesn't look as bad between washes. Red Stuff wouldn't handle track events like OEM though. Also no issues with brake noise.

Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.

I recently changed the brakes on my MK7.5 Non PP GTI, I chose EBC Redstuff for the disks and pads. I have bedded them in and driven a bit over this per the manual, for the first few weeks I didn't have any issues and they are a lot grabbier than the OEM ones. But with some recent spirited driving, I found that these pads under light to heavy breaking on the front get cooked in less than a mile. Ended up coming to a corner and the pedal was firm, then it wasn't and it was squirming about and not slowing. Getting out of the vehicle I found the pads were smoking really badly as well the heat coming off them had turned the disks blue on the front, while the rears were warm, but nowhere near as bad as the front. The OEM pads took way more abuse, even then they would just judder when they go too hot and never fadded or gave the same symptoms.
