Brake pads EBC or Ferodo

I've had them for 30k km and they're great. Perfect for spirited driving / autocross and I've only ever had brake dust squeal once and for a very short time.

My EBC reds say to use pads easy for 200 miles. Then do 4-5 hard stops from 50 mph

Others like EBC have specific procedures for heating and cooling the brakes to make them to the surface.

I put some EBC Yellow pads on for a track day and have been enjoying them on the street since.

EBC Yellowstuff and Cquence rotors. Top notch stopping power.

Ferodo ds2500 is a great option. I’ve heard yellows are noisy/dusty. I’ve inhaled plumes of it first hand on the track.

I ran the EBC BlueStuff NDX. They are a great track pad but also didn’t feel like a track pad when driving on the street. They have decent cold bite and we’re very quiet for me.

I replaced my Mk6 stock pads with EBC RedStuff and love them (better feel under hard braking and practically no dust).

I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?

I tried them one time on my track car and they were terrible.
