You will also find the HAWK HPS pads to be nice, however they do get more grabby after a few stops once they get some heat into them being that they are a middle of the road performance street pad. The HPS's will never be as grabby/difficult to modulate as the ultimate ceramics/stock pads though.

Pros: good for modulation, decent price

Cons: grabby after stops

yeah my ABS light is always on in my jetta ..... the brakes work great but sometimes (very rarely) i can feel the brake pedal trying to move back up when i press it very softly coming to a very slow stop

Pros: brakes work great

Cons: pedal moves back up

Noise:

i had them on my mk3 jetta and there was a huge stopping difference without locking them up. a very good investment , initially they came with hawk pads they were too noisy and i switched to ebc pads and i loved the brakes quiet and stopping distance was probably reduced by 1/3

Pros: huge stopping difference, good investment

Cons: hawk pads too noisy

Dust:

I got Mintex pads from Autotech for my 97 Jetta 2.0 in Jan. I do a fair amount of city driving and drive the car kind of hard all the way around. Mintex pads worked great with almost no dust and were much better in the rain. (stock pads sucked in the rain) I only had them on the car for 5K then car got wrecked but I plan to get them for the new one..

Pros: almost no dust, great rain
