Brake pads EBC or OEM Volkswagen
If you want less brake dust then EBC Red Stuff. I ran them on my 435i and I am running them on my M4. They are fast road pads, not track pads. But they work well and there is pretty much no dust.
I use centric high carbon rotor blanks and EBC reds. They're great, although not quite zero dust theyre less than stock. Very grabby in the cold though, worse than stock for that.
I use EBC Red Stuff. They have excellent modulation. EBC's website says that they are lower dust and last longer than Green Stuff.
Get you some Nitto NT555s, Caltracs traction bars, steeda lowering springs, GT500 swaybars, GT500 Fuel Pump, and a good set of brake rotors and pads from either Powerstop or EBC.
P.S. I run more aggressive and dusty brake pads - EBC Yellow Stuff
Since most pads won't even get that close to the edge, i wouldn't have thought twice about mounting it. Sure, i would check if it IS touching, but i really doubt it.
I have had the Tiguan SEL Turbo for a few weeks now. I was reversing out of a parking spot and the brakes locked up thinking something was behind me. Not a soft brake, I thought I backed up into someone. No car or person there? Did it twice and never again.
For road course, EBC yellows will be OK for beginning, but won’t last more then 3 or 4 days as you progress
Good to know EBC quality control still sucks. I had a pair of their pads come apart, literally the meat of the friction material sheared off the backing plate.
Rear brake pads are terrible. Lots of brake dust and already at 4 mm at 8k miles. I rarely brake hard and have never need to replace rear brake pads before 100k on any other car.
