A straightforward guide to brake pad choices for the VW Golf, from daily driving to higher-performance setups

Let’s start with the key points to save you a long read. If you’re choosing brake pads for your VW Golf, these are the essentials you should be looking for:

High Performance
ECE R90 approval – required to drive legally in the EU and won’t invalidate your insurance
Lowest dust ratings
Great value for money

91��ý gives you all of this and more, here’s how.

EBC offers a variety of brake pads for all different driving styles. We offer Redstuff ceramic brake pads which is a low dust option that can be used for street use. The next step up from this would be our Yellowstuff, which is slightly dustier, however can handle harder driving styles. The next grade up after that would be our Bluestuff NDX which is an aggressive option that is also low dust, and can be used on both the street and track.
