Brake pads EBC or JURID

Jurid,like Pagid and ATE,and Lucas/Girling are all OEM suppliers to VW,the Jurid pads are a OEM replacement and make a hell of a lot of dust,but are less likely to "squeek" due to their softer compound.

Don't rule out EBC Greenstuff - they completely transformed my wife's Camry - it couldn't stop from the factory, it couldn't stop after I spent alot of money on new pads, rotors, lines from some "brake expert", and when I installed EBCs the car is now FUN to play the stop sign game.

I would highly recommend EBC greens for an A1 or A2 owner looking for a decent track day capable street pad.

I actually love my EBCs for street use. Incredible cold bite, no dust (ever), no squeak (ever), and my rotors and pads still look brand new after 6 months.

I have the greens - love them. Almost no brake dust and good performance (haven't had any track time with them though).

I could get some EBC Greenstuff rear pads for a mere $49.

I got those JURID and will have them installed in the same time as my suspension. Someone told me on the brakes forum that JURID makes pads for Porsches, so I don't think I can go wrong with that.

I am running EBC Greenstuff, with almost no dust compared to stock pads.

Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types

EBC's warped my stock VW front rotors in less than 2000 miles, replaced with Zimmerman cross drilled, warped those within 3500 miles. This is with casual city driving and NO racing/autocrossing. After I warped the stockers, I was very careful about not holding the brakes after coming to a hard stop. Doesn't matter I guess. My wheels were usually warm/hot to the touch after almost zero braking highway driving. Now I have Mintex, and they work great for city driving. Wheels stay cool, and so far no warpage on my third set of rotors..
