Brake pads EBC or OEM Volkswagen

I put EBC Red pads on my MINI and they have been great, the car stops better and I see no dust at all on the wheels.

I've very much enjoyed my EBC green pads on my dailies, they do dust a bit but grab pretty nice and don't squeal. Never had a buildup that causes vibration.

I've run multiple sets (Green Stuff and Yellow Stuff) without issue. Yes, the yellows dust quite a bit but no more than most semi-metallic pads I've had. As far as vibrations go, my 2013 Abarth has Yellow Stuffs all around that feel great and just completed a track day last Monday without issue.

2017 Alltrack brake upgrade I purchased these brakes on E-Bay as an upgrade to my worn brakes.

Add note- For 2015-2019 Volkswagen GTI,Golf Alltrack Front Rear Brake Rotors+Ceramic Pads front and back drilled and slotted with ceramic discs. Very happy with them so far.

As you can see I have a 2016 GTI PP (Big Brake). I love the car and the brakes are outrageous. At over 140 MPH I had to get on them hard because somebody decided to move left because he didn't like me driving fast. They are fantastic.

I changed out the stock pads for EBC reds in the first couple thousand miles, so I will see how that ratio works out.

312 upgrade. Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads.

I put about 65 minutes of track time on my EBC Yellows. The seemed to hold up Okay. I sent some pictures to EBC they said they got really hot and I should consider brake cooling options.

I wouldn't; it could throw off braking performance ... like now your rear pads bite harder than your front. Plus your front do most of the work.

Whenever I talk to people they don't say too much about reliability, but what they do say is how they hate the maintenance costs with VWs. $100+ oil changes, paying for maintenance items off warranty at dealer (brakes), etc.
