upgraded brake pads for my TT

Hi,
last summer I installed Hawk XP Plus pads. I'm sick and tired of the squeeling noise. Do any of you have experience with EBC's or other pads that offer better than stoc performance without the noise?

Try Porterfield R4-S's (from myroadster.net)

I installed Mintex all the way around and have no dust and no squeeling. The cost is $80 front and $40 rear. I also have them on the B5 and the Bora Variant.

I've had EBC greens. No noise and low dust. Unfortunately...

I fried them on the track at Shannonville and Watkins Glen. i'm replacing them with Porterfields, since they are supposedly superior to EBCs.
You can buy EBCs from LLTek in TMR or Porterfieds from Driver's Edge in Vancouver.
