Then that would be the slotted kicking in. If you noticed, I said slooted are a performance rotor and would give better braking.
I used to race autocross and have tried every brake combo on my mk3 possible.
Stock calipers with;
A: hawk pads. pepboys performance rotors.. not a bad combo.
b: cheap slotted/cross drilled rotors and ebc green stuff. ehh bout hawk level.
c: mintex redbox and stock rotors. better then both. TONS of dust.
(changed to SS lines here)
d: ebc yellows with stock rotors. Better, less dust.
e: hawk pads, slotted only rotors. Best combo, light dust nice grip.
f: brembo 12.3" big brake kit. cream my pants I can stop on a dime.

The Ultimax pads are a little better than stock but I'd go with the green stuff 6000 or 7000(suv/4wd pad) next time. Green Stuff

Green 7000 is NOT an upgrade pad in stopping power, it is just a low dust pad

yep, i have em and love them. dust is low for a performance pad and they stop in a hurry and are quiet. i put some powerstop slotted rotors on at the same time. $180 for everything. i looked at the EBC first, but i thought they were a bit pricey
