Brake pads EBC or OEM Volkswagen

I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.

I just traded in my 2019 Jetta with 65000 miles, never changed the brakes, but looked at them at 60000. It looks like they were at thick as new, insane. Would stop on a dime.

I've got 160k kms on my front brake pads on my 2012 tdi.

Rear pads I've changed 3 times.

It's got exceptional engine braking.

I'm currently running EBC yellows which have done me well for daily use(if you don't mind the dust), Autobahn driving, and on Spa and the Nurburgring.

EBC Blue Stuff on stock rotors for me. Zero regrets. Everything I own gets EBC blue stuff from now on. Incredible grip. Very low dust that rinses away. I didn\u2019t know brakes could be like this and I\u2019ve driven hundreds of thousands of miles on all sorts of brakes. I am not tracking them, but my everyday drives bear some similarities.

I replaced mine with EBC red. Same as OEM to me, good stopping power. Less dust to deal with.

I drive a Twingo rs at the moment, with ebc yellow brakes and they are fine enough for the money. Also had them on my previous car a turbo mx5 and they did the job.

don't do the Yellowstuff unless you are on board with a LOT of brake dust.

EBC yellows are a bit too aggressive for most people for street driving. They typically make alot of noise when they’re cold.
