Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

I've owned an 01 225 Coupe for one year this past November. It's an AMU motor code and I love the car still. These are the things I have had to replace so far, not counting upgrades: Brakes & brake fluid & front rotors (Hawk HP, ATE superblue) $350

At Sears Point, braking from 90+ three times per lap (2, 7, 11). Stock GTI vented rotors "work fine" with good fluid and Hawk Blues.

My old one... gotta get a new one... AP Racing 12\" - Hawk HP Plus pads - AP Racing (was vented) rotors

For the back hubs/brakes I'll use assat 16V spindles, diesel passat 10.1 solid rotors, Wilwood Dynalite Calipers, Hawk pads.

I would recommend the TT brakes. Choose plain rotors if you are wary of drilled or slotted rotors, but those brakes with hawk pads (or something more appressive) should be fine. The added lever arm does help substantially, as well as the larger piston over stock.

You will also find the HAWK HPS pads to be nice, however they do get more grabby after a few stops once they get some heat into them being that they are a middle of the road performance street pad. The HPS's will never be as grabby/difficult to modulate as the ultimate ceramics/stock pads though.

i've had ebc rotors and and green stuff pads for about a year... they are very nice.! U have to put 500 miles on them to break in the rotor as well, seeing it conditions it 1st... . The ebc set up has wokerd wonders for me... exalent bite and supreme pedal response.!

I'm running the ECS Stage 2v2 front and 1R rear BBKs, with Hawk HP+ in the front and HPS in the rear. I am running Pentosin Racing brake fluid. I have yet to experience fade on the track running this set-up

I have run HPS, HP+, DS2500, and P+. Blues are in another world entirely from HPS. HPS is a decent, not great, street pad. It isn't low dust, but it is firm and even friction. HP+ is more bitey, quite firm, squeals like a baby, and dusts like crazy.

i had a set of EBC greens a few years ago that cracked and actually separated themselves from the metal backing plate.
