Brake pads EBC or Ferodo

For track purposes, I upgraded my rotors to stoptech slotted, pads to ferodo 2500, steel lines, and rbf600 fluid. Gets the job done, and stays consistent over the course of a typical track day. The braking power/feel is not much greater over the stock rotor/pads combo, but holds up better to the heat (those OEM pads do like to melt, if abused).

I also run Motul RBF600 fluid and Ferodo DS2500. I use my R as DD (~13K miles/year) and about 10 track days per year. Setup is fine for both and I recommend it as a good setup for your situation.

I typically run RBF600 with Ferodo DS2500, changed at the beginning of spring and after each HPDE (back to OEM brake fluid in the winter). Massive improvement over the stock for sure, but at the end of a 2 day track weekend the pedal will be on the softer side, which improves after brake flush.

I have had good success with Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear, OEM rotors, and RBF600 (or equivalent) brake fluid. The Ferodo pads were fine to use for the street (no noise, normal dust, and seem reasonably rotor friendly) and competent on the track.

So the Tiguan suspension is being dropped in today, along with some new EBC Red Stuff brake pads

I recently replaced my 18 GTI SE front pads with EBC Red stuffs. My only regret is not doing it day one. Great performance and 90% less dust.

I went with ECS's slotted rotors for both the front and rear, and EBC Redstuff pads all around. With new fluid, they've been great across the board. Less dust than the OEM pads in my experience, less fade, better performance all around

My EBC red pads do dust but no where near as bad as OEM

I ran them on my mustang. They were dirty and occasionally loud. They also didn't last for shit as I believe they are really formulated for lighter cars.
