These are amazing pads - really big upgrade in stopping power. And as others mentioned, it’s per pair. So one of each. Tdotperformance is reliable, I use it specifically for pads and rotors for not just my vt but other cars I have worked on. Great service and vehicle confirmation.

The yellow stuff pads are also Canadian winter friend. They have similar biting power to the reds but better for cold bite. Only downfall with the yellows is brake dust is fairly high. My wheels get very dirty. High maintenance for cleanliness.

Pros: big stopping power upgrade, good cold bite
Cons: high brake dust, high maintenance

OEM Volkswagen Brake pads

No, no scan tool is needed at all for the fronts. They are basically the same as any other brake job. I actually found them easier than my other vehicles

Pros: easier than other vehicles
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have EBC slotted rotors and the green pads. Way better than stock. Will probably go with red when these wear down cause they claim to produce less dust.

Pros: better than stock, less dust
Vehicle: MINI

I have about 45k miles on a set of EBC greenstuff and StopTech slotted rotors. I’m not hard on my brakes and my pad life is still good. Much lower dust than stock and roughly the same bite/engagement as stock. Maybe slightly more sensitive.

Pros: long life, low dust
Cons: slightly more sensitive
Mileage: 45000 km

Have EBC redstuffs on rear wheels of my XF 25t. Good breaking, silent, but now at half pad started to make a lot of dust (much more then genuine factory fitted Jag pads still at the front) so I will change them when the time comes and go back to Jag pads.

Pros: Good breaking, silent
Cons: Lots of dust

Ditch EBC. Discs are OK. But pads are just pure viral marketing via forums etc. Played havoc with the ABS on my GC8 Subaru when I had them (ABS kicking in actually massively increased stopping distances).

Cons: increased stopping distance

Took the Swift for a spirited drive down the horseshoe pass today, by the bottom the brakes stank, pedal went soft and stopping power became dangerously weak. Drove it softly for a mile or so and they were back to normal and I could lock the wheels again.

Cons: brake fade, weak stopping power
