Brake pads EBC or OEM Volvo

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 use EBC and they're great, the yellows specifically. Very rarely overheat and fade, get better the hotter they are and provide great stopping power.

I got my front and rear ebc yellow stuff pads from new provisions racing. Installed and fit perfect, increases initial bite with a little bit more noise and definitely more dust. Worth it IMO, stock pads had weak initial bite.

I always recommend EBC. 300-400 for all four wheels and pads can’t beat it and they’re better than anything you’ll find at autozone too.

I put a set of these on the front and back of my Audi, and I loved the performance and the added feeling of control and safety when using them.

For rotors I have cross drilled brembos, they are pretty nice. And for pads I have EBC yellow stuff which is a track pad and I can’t tell any difference over oem. Just a shit ton of brake dust which I’m sick and tired of.

I recently changed the brakes on my MK7.5 Non PP GTI, I chose EBC Redstuff for the disks and pads. I have bedded them in and driven a bit over this per the manual, for the first few weeks I didn't have any issues and they are a lot grabbier than the OEM ones. But with some recent spirited driving, I found that these pads under light to heavy breaking on the front get cooked in less than a mile. Ended up coming to a corner and the pedal was firm, then it wasn't and it was squirming about and not slowing. Getting out of the vehicle I found the pads were smoking really badly as well the heat coming off them had turned the disks blue on the front, while the rears were warm, but nowhere near as bad as the front. The OEM pads took way more abuse, even then they would just judder when they go too hot and never fadded or gave the same symptoms.
