Brake pads EBC or Hella Pagid

Mine makes brake noise also, swapped the front pads over to EBC greens and it’s quiet now. Sad that VW says that was normal on my 2021 SEL R Cross sport. Brake pad change was easy.

I kept stock rotors and just upgraded the pads to EBC RedStuff. From my internet searching, I determined that rotors weren't worth it unless I planned on tracking the car, which I don't. Someone else mentioned noise in comparing Red vs Yellow, and that was part of what swayed me toward Red (I think Red also has a longer life and/or less dust).

Replaced both brake pads with fresh new EBC Redstuff and ecstuning ss lines.

I ran ebc yellow stuff pads on my civic. Would recommend the street version which is green I think. OEM rotors are fine, no need for anything fancy.

I currently have EBC Redstuff on my 2017 VW Sportwagen 4motion and are pleased with the results compared to stock.

I've replaced the stock proportioning valve with an adjustable one and have ebc yellows on the back with no name shit pads on the front.

EBC Yellowstuff or Bluestuff pads and cheap iron rotors would be more than plenty for an AW-11.

Pagid RS29 are what I always used to run on my Cayman, and I loved them. Now I run Ferodo DS1.11 on my STI, and I'm a big fan of them too, but I'd still probably go back to Pagids if I went back to Porsche.

I've got EBC reds on my car and they feel decent from cold.

Closest were the EBC Yellows, but the fronts crumbled on a hot day at a fast track (VIR.)
