Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

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.

I'm running Hawk HPS pads with Raybestos Professional grade rotors. Got 5 years out of my first set, at 6 years now on the current set.

I have Hawk HPS pads and they work great on the street and produce way less dust than stock pads.

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?

EBC yellow stuff are terrible for track use. Had a set disintegrate and nearly catch fire only like 12 mins into a session.
