As to what caused it? Sticking caliper, check the slide pins.

Default Had good luck with EBC green pads. Good Stoping power , low dust,quiet.

Had good luck on mine, wife's and mother-inlaw's vehicles.
EBC Reds pads stop good, but too noisy. suggest slotted and dimpled rotors (cleans pad surface and runs cooler which can reduce warpage of rotor), not cross-drilled ones, heard of cracks developing on those, which can't be good.

Default I've tried damn near everything, "most best-est" EBC green with EBC cad plated rotors

for pads I've had axxis, pagid, ferrado, mintex, porterfields, etc... Only other thing you might want to consider is the A8 rotor upgrade using s4 calipers/carriers. Running EBC redstuff with EBC cad platted slotted & dimpled rotors in the front on my HP2 calipers. Hope this helps.
