Brake pads EBC or Duralast

I can say that the boxster brake setup completely outperforms the OEM setup. I can say that with confidence due to my experience with with both setups...the brembo caliper easily exceeds the limitations of the OEM single piston caliper. My car lost several feet upon an aggressive 65-0 test. I performed both tests several times on a long straightaway (closed course ) With textar pads on both setups. The Porsche brakes were notably shorter distances... Then i upgraded the pads to ebc red stuff and those did even better aggressive stops.

Yes...to an extent but the biggest difference in braking performance will come from the pads you use. I like having slots because I feel it does help, especially in wet conditions to channel the water away for quicker bite.

I've fitted EBC yellow stuff pads (and standard VW discs), and I've found the braking performance to be amazing for road use. These pads were so much better than anything I've bought over the counter from VW.

I have settled on the Hps pads over red stuff. They both have good pedal feel, stopping power and fade resistance, but the deciding factor was the amount of dust they make. Red Stuff pads make nasty dust, but the Hawk pads are virtually dustless.

Right now I have EBC Red Stuff pads, front and rear, and there is NO dust on the wheels.. I also installed stainless steel brake lines, and that helped get rid of the spongy brake pedal.. The Red Stuff pads have a really good bite, and don't have much fade even on some of the long downhills in the mountains around here.. I've probably got close to 50,000 miles on these and there is still a lot of pad left, front and rear.. They will definitely be on the next car I get..

I had this issue with Hawk HPS, and had to tap on the brakes in heavy rain often. Have EBC Red now, they don't do this but they also don't stop the car well period.

dunno if same formula on Touareg pads, but they are HORRIBLE on my A4. They are low dust, but fade terribly - much worse than stock.
