Brake pads EBC or OEM Volkswagen
Ebc green stuff are great so far 200 miles
EBC Red Stuff I recently did my brakes and these are really quiet and durable and great stopping power and low dust.
I went with EBC Red stuff pads just waiting on rotors.
Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.
The EBC pads (Red) that I installed 6 months or so ago have never made a peep at any time. They seemed to fit snugly in the calipers. Very happy with them mated to Zimmermann drilled rotors.
Lol paid £170 for my front brakes last week and did them myself. EBC's too.
Have a look at EBC, their “red stuff” pads work really well on my car and were nowhere near that price.
The initial bite is really, really good on the street, and the pads feel very good. I never had issues with overheating.
The life of the front pads, however, wasn't very impressive to me. I got about 8 months of daily driving (75% highway miles), 20-30 canyon runs (roughly 35 minutes each) + 2 trackdays (my 2nd and 3rd ever) out of them. I had to cut my 3rd trackday short because the wear sensor came on, and then within 10 minutes, the front pads were metal-metal with the rotor, and I went off into the dirt.
EBC street pads are nothing special.
I burned EBC Blues up in a single day, decided they weren't up to it.
