I kept stock rotors and just upgraded the pads to EBC RedStuff. From my internet searching, I determined that rotors weren't worth it unless I planned on tracking the car, which I don't. Someone else mentioned noise in comparing Red vs Yellow, and that was part of what swayed me toward Red (I think Red also has a longer life and/or less dust).
The e-Golf still uses the friction brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. Aggressive stopping also requires the friction brakes, which I do occasionally. Between those to, the brakes seem to avoid any significant rust build up.
Replaced both brake pads with fresh new EBC Redstuff and ecstuning ss lines.
I ran ebc yellow stuff pads on my civic. Would recommend the street version which is green I think. OEM rotors are fine, no need for anything fancy.
I currently have EBC Redstuff on my 2017 VW Sportwagen 4motion and are pleased with the results compared to stock.
I've replaced the stock proportioning valve with an adjustable one and have ebc yellows on the back with no name shit pads on the front.
EBC Yellowstuff or Bluestuff pads and cheap iron rotors would be more than plenty for an AW-11.
I don\u2019t have warping or shimmy issues but above 50ish mph when braking I get this loud whirl or hum type of thing. It\u2019s very loud it\u2019s from the rear. I never had this issue on my s3 and it\u2019s the same setup minus the pads. Not sure. I\u2019m thinking of getting golf r or s3 pads and installing them.
only issue I have is the brakes are undersized for this car 10,000km replace under warranty then again at 20,000km.
I have the ebc reds they are good but smh at the people saying they are not dusty. they are worst pads i have ever had for producing dust.
