Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP

I've been happy with Power Stop Z23 Evo pads on both of my cars. Not crazy dusty, squeaky, or bitey and a slight improvement over stock.

I have the Dynamics Package on my Scat Pack and installed Z23's about 1k miles ago on all 4 corners.The car is my daily, no track miles. I am happy with them for my application. There is a bit less initial bite but I honestly don't notice it anymore. The brakes will still hit like a brick wall if you try. The brake dust isn't completely gone but it is 100x less than with the stock pads. Nothing else really to report so far, they are quiet and do the job well enough for me.

They stop well and the wheels don't get very dirty with brake dust. After about a year, I started to get occasional mild squeaking under very light slow stopping conditions.

They are a little grabby at extremely low speeds. Otherwise they seem to stop strong and quiet.

I used Corrado G60 hubs (still retaining 4x100 lug pattern) Corrado 4-wheel ABS system paired to adapters to run 11.8" 4piston Mercedes Benz front brakes with Yellowstuff EBC race compound pads and 10.2" rear discs with Hawk HPS pads. This brake configuration to mass ratio was already an upgrade on the 4800# donor car, here they are absolutely insane on a sub 3000# Mk1 Cabriolet.

Agree w/ all above especially EBC red pads. I put in performance rotors (blank, not drilled or slotted though) but not necessary. Just wanted a clean slate for the pads. But the final piece of the puzzle is to run higher performance tires.

The Red stuff pads, no squeaking, rubbing, noise, cracking or uneven wear.

My budget brake setup was getting EBC slotted rotors front and rear, but getting 286mm rear rotors, you can install them by using volkswagen CC rear caliper brackets if your car has 272mm stock rear rotors. I also have EBC red stuff pads all around, they do get pretty dusty though.

I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).

Went to a track day over the weekend to realize my EBC Yellow Stuff front brake pads were dangerously low - after only 1 previous track day 6 months ago and about 5000 highway miles between.
