ATE make low dust pads that don’t need warming up like previous ceramic pads. I have them on my MK5 and they are great. Don’t have that annoying instant bite that stock pads do. Also they go forever
Pros: low dust, long lasting
Cons: no instant bite
Using ATE rotors and ceramic pads on my mk6. Very little dust. Still has very good bite compared to other standard OEM pads.
Pros: very little dust, good bite
I rebuilt a caliper for $13 and it went well, but I was able to get all the parts.
Pros: inexpensive repair, successful rebuild
Brain1234 Good advice, My master fluid kept going down, Could not find a leak. Eventually I stopped adding worrying where it would go, and funny enough despite running low on brake fluid the brakes get ok..... Until figured out the booster was 1/2 full of Brake fluid....
Pros: Works like a charm
Cons: fluid kept going down
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
FWIW: I replaced the rotors (ATE), pads (Akebono), and brake fluid (Pentosin) last year, which cost me $291 and was not difficult at all.
Pros: not difficult at all
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I think ATE Type 200 is just fine or at least I never had an issue running with race pads and even when the rubber dust booth at the piston was on fire I still did not have any boiling.
Pros: no boiling

I'm running Redstuff as well - they are OEM compatible.
Pros: OEM compatible
I replaced mine two years ago, both rotors and pads front and rear, with VW parts purchased from VWpartsvortex. As I recall, they were not Brembo, probably ATE. I spent a total of $718 on the set, which seemed reasonable considering the rotor size and how long they last. So far, the new ones are performing very well. As an aside, a few years ago I replaced the rotors with Brembos on a Subaru and was disappointed: the front ones warped almost immediately. The bottom line, I'm afraid, is that it is no longer enough to rely on the brand, especially if sourced on the secondary market. At least with "VW" marked parts the reputation of the vehicle manufacturer is on the line, though even that may not be enough to ensure high quality.
Pros: performing very well, reasonable price
Cons: Brembo rotors warped quickly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Just did a brake job, new ATE OEM rotors up front with new Hawk HPS pads. Just did the run to bed them in, and I'm hearing a wierd noise. When I step on the brakes at a moderate or heavy level I hear kind of a "plunking" noise, I guess you could call it. It has a rhythm that changes with the speed of the car (i.e. the plunking slows down as the wheels slow down).
Pros: new rotors and pads
Cons: weird noise, plunking sound

Volkswagen Golf
