Brake pads EBC or Mintex

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

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

EBC Green stuff all the way baby. Anyway, they are great, no dust unless you leave your car unwashed for 3 months.

Mintex Redbox pads are less dusty than most. Many people here prefer them.

I would recommend going with Mintex Redbox brakepads for your car because they produce significantly less brakedust than the VW brand pads from the dealership, and cost less!!

My brakes on the front went at around 30K. I bought Zimmerman crossdrilled rotors, stainless brake lines, Mintex pads, and new fluid for all four wheels. I had the local Midas shop do the complete install for $200.

I'm pretty happy with my EBC brakes and pads. They don't seem to fade and the braking efficiency has improved substantially. However, because they are grooved, you can almost hear yourself stripping a layer off the pads when you hit the brakes hard from a high speed. They also make a whirring sound, particularly hard under brakes, which is a little curious at first, but ultimately quite nice. I would recommend them. PS My wheels are also much easier to keep clean.

The Mintex are good pads that hardly dust.

I got the mintex pads about a week after I got new wheels. I couldn't stand washing them every other day. If you're looking for low dust content, the mintex work really well. The disadvantage is that the pedal feel isn't as nice as stock.

I have the Mintex Red and Zimmerman rotors. I warped one pair of rotors already but it was really quick so I am returning them they could be defective I will see if I get my money back. There is almost NO brake dust with the Mintex, but they are LOUD as hell, if I have the radio off I can hear them when I hit the brakes even if the windows are closed.
