I put EBC Greenstuff and EBC discs on it, overkill brakes but nice as they are a lower dust pad, and that's after I warped the OEM and Delphi discs with it.

Pros: low dust, nice brakes
Cons: overkill

EBC Brake pads

Swap the factory pads for EBC Red Stuff and buy a gallon of Adam's Wheel & Tire cleaner. The EBC pads still give off dust, but it's not as much as the stock pads and it doesn't stick to the wheels as much either.

Pros: less dust
Cons: still give off dust

I haven't investigated ceramic pads for the Golf R but based on the Hawk Ceramic Compound Performance Pads I have on my A4, which has huge RS4 front calipers and B7 S4 rears, I'd try them as they are quiet, generate negligible dust and are easy on the rotors.

Pros: quiet, negligible dust
Cons: none
Vehicle: Audi A4

red stuff pads served me well on the street but overheated in my first auto cross day. No one should have any business driving them hard enough on the street to overheat them.

Pros: served well on street
Cons: overheated on track

EBC says that their racing RP RP1 brake pads are compatible with their street lineup. So swapping pads back and forth won’t be a problem.

Pros: easy swap, compatible pads
Vehicle: Mercedes

Those look to be EBC "greenstuff" brake pads. "For spirited street use on lighter sports sedans and hot hatches, Greenstuff 2000 series is a perfect choice." They are made more for performance than driveability, they aee not really meant for your average daily driver. They are not bad pads, but they are intended more for the weekend racer. The pads will be noisy and harder on the rotors than regular pads. EBC also offers a red pad that is even more aggressive and intended strictly for track use.

Pros: good performance
Cons: noisy, hard on rotors

Those look a lot like EBC Greenstuff, I'm assuming a cheap copy - the EBC break-in coating on the front does work well and doesn't squeal but I work on the assumption that anything from Amazon is fake.

Pros: works well

I legit just installed the same pads and rotors and the squealing is driving me nuts. It’s only from my passenger side and happens sporadically under light breaking. Everything I have read says it will go away. However I’m at about 400km and it’s still there.

Cons: squealing noise
Mileage: 400 km

I got about 500 miles on new EBC red pads and EBC rotors. They made so much noise when I first installed them, now only the driver side is still making a squeal on occasion. I assume the passenger side bedded and the driver side is close behind. My main question is for anyone who has these pads, do they ever chill out on brake dust? I can only assume they are not fully bedded in yet but holy god they dust like crazy. I can honestly say this whole experience has been terrible and EBC customer service is non-existent.

Cons: noisy, excessive dust
Mileage: 500 km
