Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP

But it looks like the prices doubled, crazy.

Pads are great though.

I put these on and there’s a noticeable increase in stopping power.

Now that you have an actual motorsports caliper I would highly advise looking into EBC's SR-11 or SR-21s pads.

They are THE ONLY pad that will take some insane abuse on track, still be whisper quiet on the street, and work just as well at 0 degrees as they do at 1000 degrees.

Myself and a handful of other guys run them in time attack and I seriously have zero complaints. You honestly won't find a better pad, if you happen to have a caliper they fit in.

I use Powerstop Ceramic brake pads. Ceramic pads last longer, brake smoother, and little to no brake dust on rims ????????

Powerstop Z23 front combo and Brembo rotors with Akebono ceramic pads for the rear on a 2013 Golf TDI. Both ends seem to be really good.

I threw a set of drilled/slotted Z23 model PowerStop brakes on my 2013 TDI Beetle for shits and giggles because I had some extra cash and they've been superb. A bit loud but mashing them hard almost puts me through my windshield.

Powerstop track kit with ceramic pads. They have solid and Drilled/slotted rotors available both options. Around $300 for both front and rear. I run these on multiple cars when it’s time for brakes always an upgrade over stock.

Ive seen people go the full spectrum of pads, from cheapos to expensive. I’d go oem at a minimum, remember these are big heavy trucks that need a lot of stopping power. I’ve had a lot of luck with powerstop so far.

I recently installed EBC redstuff with new rotors. Did the bed in procedure and worked great for first 300 miles or so. Today, I noticed a really loud squeaking noise coming from one of my wheels. Noise starts after brakes are warmed up, and increases when turning the wheel. Goes away when I apply the brakes. Think my pads might be glazed after some sprites driving, but not like I’ve done anything crazy.

the brakes on the VB are pretty bad with zero bite in the first few inches of brake travel. I’ve had the past 2 generations on WRXs for OEM brake comparison. Ordered a full set of EBC Ulitmax2 OEM replacement pads to help a bit.
