Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Volkswagen

So far the above combination is great, brakes are stronger than stock, take longer to fade, and don't make any noise. But the dust...it's horrible. I'm finding myself cleaning my wheels 1-2 times a week now :what:.

I have brembo uv coated rotors front and rear. I only put them on in the fall but through 1 winter they still look like new. I have stoptech pads as well and they work very well, a solid improvement over stock, butttt they dust A LOT.

I have been using Stoptechs since uhmmm.. 2009? They have good initial bite and good braking feel. The down side is that they produce so much dust.

IMHO id run the StopTech Kelvar pads part # 309.16090 only $98 Cheap & great pads! better than OE TRW & Textar Crap that fades like crazy. i do alot of HPDE track days and the Stock pads ( organic compund) fade really bad.

Plus, in real world driving, they stop on a dime. They scrub off speed really well - I've had a couple of saves thanks to these.

I've used EBC yellowstuff, works fine. I also love the Stoptech Street Performance pads, they have a higher temperature rating and are dirt cheap.

The brakes don't inspire confidence. I replaced mine with a stoptech setup which is overkill but the feel, modulation and overall power take away one of the stock car's biggest weaknesses IMO

Hey Paul, I'm reaching out because of a recent order I put in that the invoice you sent looks incorrect.

Even though they have the word street in the name, they are very prone to judder and deposit build up and are not good under gentle street usage.

Ugh, somehow these pads are even dustier than the stock pads on my STI. I didn't know that was possible.
