Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

Hawk HPS 5.0 HB544B.628 HB625B.760 Edwin Mangune from Hawk Performance Products Group recommends these for our Golf R.

I've always had great luck with NAPA HD blanks and Hawk HPS pads. Been my go-to for replacement/upgrade for years.

I also currently have EBC red installed with golf R retaining clips and tyrol sport brake caliper stiffening kit and tyrol sport stainless steal brake lines and the noise was not present until maybe around 8,000 miles into the new pads. The car still stopped on a dime, thats all I was really concerned about.

I have had my set up on for about a month now. Stopping power is significantly better as well as way increased pedal feel. Bite is fantastic just with the Hawk HPS that I run on the street and even better with the DTC-30's that I run on the track.

I'm running EBC RedStuff and I'm a fan of them. I probably see the canyons twice a week and they've held up very well in those conditions. Also almost no noise. The only time there's a bit of squeezing is for a bit in the morning when it's cold.

EBC Greenstuff 2000 series. Or the EBC Redstuff series if you're a very spirited driver. But the greenstuff should be plenty effective even if you are a spirited driver. The dust production is very minimal and very easy to wipe off by hand without any cleaner

Planing on going with the green stuff brake pads. 20% off! Sale ends today guys.

Personally I use EBC "Green Stuff" pads and am pretty happy with them.

I have hawk HPS on mine. Dust wise they arent too bad. But I wouldnt mind something cleaner. They do the same thing and hang over the inner edge a bit.

EBC pads are terrible
