Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

My oem S6 6 piston brembos with EBC redstuff pads are great

I just did brakes on my '13 S4, went with EBC OE Rotors and their Red Stuff pads. The red stuff is definitely low dust compared to the crap stock pads. Very grippy on initial bite and totally silent no squealing.

Switched to EBC red fronts. A bit surprised over the dust level comparing it to previous MK7 GTIs and GLIs I had them on. Seems close to OEM pad dust on the MK8s

They don't even squeal as much any more

Hawk DTC-60 pads are the best value performance pads I found. Stock blank rotors are fine, I upgraded to a 335i sport caliper set and its been more than sufficient for many track days

I have EBC Greens on my '95 miata with 80k miles and 3mm on each corner due to spirited driving.

The EBC RPX pads are their race ones and are incredibly good for the price. They last a long time and have serious bite. I have these paired with their fully floating rotors and callipers and have not had a single issue in a year of tracking my e46 m3.

I run EBC Redstuff pads, the brake dust is very minimal.

I’ve got ebc red stuff pads on my non performance GTI and they are ok. I probably will get something different next time around. They do dust a bit, probably the same as oem.

I hate EBC. People recommended their pads for dual duty track and daily. Lol they’re not good at all. Hawk, Ferodo, and Endless over EBC any day of the damn week.
