Brake pads EBC or Duralast

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 put some on our family's extra car, they actually stop the car way better than I thought.

Ive put them on countless cars that just see road use(Rears on my Civic currently are Duralast). I like buying from autozone bc you can order from site to store and use retailmenot coupons to save a bunch of money.

They are good pads for daily use. I would avoid the standard Duralast and get the Duralast Golds. They are not performance brakes so don't except them to be good if you taking the car to the track often. Plus the lifetime warranty is a pretty big plus. Free pair when you need to replace them.

Fine for daily driving. Have the mid-range ones on our Forester and it stops, doesn't squeal, and they've been lasting.

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.

Only ever used the gold pads but they seem fine, nothing special but not unsafe either.

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.
