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.

Pros: held up very well, almost no noise
Cons: squeezing when 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

Pros: minimal dust production, easy to wipe

Rating 4.5

i went with EBC Grenstuff pads and stock/oem pagent brand discs, brake fade was an issue before but now is non existant, also pad dust is less of an issue and it doesnt seem to stick to the wheels as badly as the stock Bmw pads that were fitted before. All in i would definately fit them again theyve made a marked improvement on stopping distance, they were £60 for a front pair and i went with oem on the rears.

Pros: less brake dust, improved stopping
Cons: none mentioned
Vehicle: MINI

EBC Brake pads

Alright, I appreciate everyone's feedback. I checked out RockAuto, and they have good deals... BUT, the shipping kind of kills it. (I put together pads/rotors, and the shipping was nearly $100 with each part coming from a different warehouse.). Somebody told me to get EBC Redstuff pads, which I hear is good. I checked Amazon but couldn't find any that fit my car (BUT I hear their 'Does this fit my car' tool doesn't work well.). Another site said that EBC DP32075C fit's the Jetta S.... But it also says 'With bosch calibers'. Is their an easy way to tell if mine came with Bosch Calibers (Or were they even an option on Jettas?)? Sorry for all the questions... And thanks again for all the help. I never realized how hard it would be to find decent brakes for a newer car.

Pros: good deals, good reputation
Cons: high shipping costs, fitment uncertainty
Part number: DP32075C

Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.

Pros: fantastic engine, brakes
Cons: expensive repairs

Might I share an experience with my Mercedes Warranty Service: It was my last "scheduled" maintenace on my Benz before my warranty expired in a month... This is what my service rep told me behind closed doors...."We better schedule in as many repairs as possible" 4 new break pads and 2 new rotars for the front (even though they still had a few more thousand mile on them), replacement wood trims for 2 of the door panels, new wiper blades and arm, a whole new radio system b/c the tape player broke (even though I've put probably only 2 tapes into the bay for the 4 years I owned the car); a brand new driver seat b/c one of the heating element on the car seat would not power on (I live in Florida, rarely ever used it).....

Pros: warranty covered repairs
Cons: unnecessary repairs scheduled
Vehicle: Mercedes
