Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

I've ran EBC RedStuff pads on my GTI and now my R and they are great. Any brake pad creates dust but these are a lot better than stock.

i like the HAWK HPS 5.0 pads. they've been pretty good for daily driving.

Stoptech Slotted Rotors, EBC Redstuff pads

I just finish installing new rotors/pads on my 2019 R-Line Tiguan - O.E.M. Hardware gave up at 34K Miles.... I installed A.P.R. front and rear rotors... HAWK Front & Rear Performance pads

I went with DBA street slotted rotors and hawk hps pads. Couldn't be happier. Also way less brake dust compared to stock pads.

EBC red is great. I hated Hawk HPS for the same reason, especially in the winter.

EBC red with Girodisc rotors has been working really well for me so far.

I've used hawk hp+ all last year and my first event of this year; they do serve as a pretty good intermediate pad, if I were you I'd go after something similar to it or slightly more track-oriented, but as I understand it the "HPS" pads are not designed for track use, more of just a capable street pad. The HP+ feel great for street driving, but be aware that they do create a fuckton of dust, and oftentimes they squeal like a school bus as you come to a stop. On track, I'd say they do fine for a beginner. I tend to brake on the early side and not as hard as I could, it's an area where I could certainly improve. I have noticed some brake fade at my most recent event, and for that reason I will be installing some G-loc r8's tomorrow, with a backup set of R12's for the front.

I had EBC red and green stuff on another car, would never buy again.
