Brake pads EBC or OEM Volkswagen

I recommend ebc blues to everyone and always get positive feedback, they bite better than oem cold and way better warm they are very dusty though.

EBC yellows have been great for me. Minimal squeal and moderate dust I also tried a set of OEM style ceramic pads but faded them on a high speed autox course.

ebc yellows were great dual duty pads when I used them, but dusty. They feel good on the street and the few hard brake tests I've done felt like they bite well, much better than the OEM quality pads I had.

EBC redstuff, stoptech, OEM. All good pads. I think the redstuff pads dust a little less than OEM, but stopping power is really good from the factory for street driving.

I like OEM or stoptech rotors, again street driving.

I don’t tend to get a lot of life out of pads, but so far OEM rotors seem to last as long as 2 sets of pads. I just put on the stoptech rotors last time I did a brake job, so far so good.

I run the yellows on my rear brakes on my MK6 GoRf which is tracked. happy with all but yellows dust significantly more than reds

EBC Reds are great all arounders and excellent daily use pads on the R32 ,imo.

i have ebc pads and rotors worth every penny

I have the same pads and rotors. They’re an upgrade over stock but man, the brake dust is insane lol

Just got back from the dealer who did an inspection and acknowledged the problem and that it was widespread. However, \"all they can do it tell you whether they're safe or not\". Of course, they're safe but they are also embarassing and, to my wife, anxiety producing thinking that the brakes are about to fail. It's an indictment on the factory that they would allow so many reported issues to go unaddressed, and that they would use ****ty brake pads.

Got mine in November of 2021 and have had the same squealing and grinding issue. Sometimes it's a high-pitched whistle. Going to look at the ceramic brake pads that someone suggested, but its a shame that VW does not address.
