I've run Red Stuff for five years. I definitely recommend for stopping power and low dust.

Pros: stopping power, low dust

One really good thing about EBC pads is that they have the break in compound on them. If your rotors are not bad enough to make the brake pedal pulse, the pads will refinish the rotors with the compound. It will take the shine off and give the rotors a freshly machined surface without actually having them turned! After installing the pads, to my surprise, my rotors were COMPLETELY pulse free after a little break-in time!!!

Pros: refinish rotors, pulse free

I went with reds I installed EBC reds front and rear. Dustless and better stopping power without the initial grab of the stockers. I'm happy with them.

Pros: dustless, better stopping power

I have been running EBC yellow's on pretty much ALL my cars for the last 7-8 years. They always make a noticeable difference. On a GTI PP it seems like way more than that, the initial bite is just unbelievable (and I've bedded them in, it's not the initial bedding compound they put on them). I feel like I've gone up to a 6pot caliper! Guess the OEM pads SUCK and the OEM PP brakes have way better potential than I thought. With just a pad upgrade I feel like the brakes are totally up to the extra 50-60% HP I have over stock

Pros: noticeable difference, unbelievable bite
Cons: OEM pads suck
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I replaced mine a few years ago with new rotors from Zimmerman since it was the third change and I have been very happy with them. The stopping distance seems to be a bit better and more responsive. Also, they produce much less dust than the OEM VW pads and I believe have Kevlar mixed in the compound.

Pros: better stopping distance, responsive
Cons: rotors needed replacement

Sorry it's a little late, but I've been using EBC yellows on my MK6 for double duty and I have no complaints other than the dust. They certainly make no noise.

Pros: make no noise
Cons: dusty

I had the same problem, thought it was the suspension. Took this video to diagnose it and the dealer figured out it was the EBC pads rattling in the calipers. Too bad, I really liked how quiet they were (no squaks!) for street duty while giving no fade issues for 25 mins track sessions.

Pros: quiet, no fade issues
Cons: pads rattling

I've had horrible experiences with EBC redstuff pads squealing and their customer service lacking in the past.

Cons: squealing, lacking service
