Kind of worried so just wanted some opinions.....Went ahead and bought some greenstuff pads all round and some Turbo Groove discs - then had a look on the site for some opinions on how they were.....Doesn't sound great (also the discs are gold which i'm not too keen on?).
- Hopefully someone out there has something good to say about them???
EBC Brakes
I've used the EBC pads and grooved discs on the rear of my Corrado for a couple of years and have had no problems. I didn't really notice a dramatic improvment in braking performance, although the greenstuff pads do not make such a mess of your alloys 
The zimmerman/pagid pads from GS&F seem to be a cost effective improvement. Not sure if they are available for the GTI tho'.

update
Well, if anyones interested - greenstuff pads fitted all round and EBC turbo groove discs on the front........
Not bad actually - has definately reduced any fade that was there although not dramatically better at braking (a bit though). The discs look alright too as the bronze colour that i wasn't keen on has worn off anyway.
One major positive is that there's harldy any brake dust coming off them onto the alloys - winner!
So overall - not a massive improvement but an ok upgrade. Expect the discs will be better with better pads on the front though.
