EBC red stuff or Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Both are better performing than stock and create less dust.

Pros: better performing, less dust

On the 63S I spend 150 each Brembo rotor and 180$ EBC redstuff pads, hardware 10$, sensor 8$. These things are silly easy to do on the rear.

Pros: easy to do

Get the EBC RedStuff kit from FCP. I've had them on several cars and it's exactly what you describe. They held up to some AutoCross as well.

Pros: held up to AutoCross

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

DBA 4000 T3 high-carbon rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads improved modulation for me significantly.

I always used EBC black organic pads; I tried HH pads briefly a few times but never liked the feel, especially in the rain.

Cons: did not like the feel

Vehicle: Suzuki

Mileage: 100000 km

As an EBC Red owner myself. These pads are not built for abuse. Like at all. They're a sporty street pad at best.

Pros: sporty street pad

Cons: not built for abuse

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I am on their RP-1 pads but I get terrible vibrations after they get heated. I suspect its because I didnt change rotors from my previous pads. I just thought they'd be rebedded after a few hard stops with the new pads.

Cons: terrible vibrations when heated

Only pad I've had torque change on was EBC yellow, once it gets close to backing plate the brake torque drops off a cliff, I suspect it's the adhesive they used

Cons: torque drops off
