I bought front and rear brake pads/ rotors (rock auto, centric brand, akebono brakes) for $300. It took me total about 3 hours since I had to bleed the brakes, change pads, rotors, and remove off jack stands.
Pros: cheap brake pads/rotors
Cons: 3 hours installation
I am a big fan of Centric 120-series brake rotors and either Akebono ProAct or EBC RedStuff pads.
Vehicle:
Subaru
I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.
Pros: low dust, brake fine
Centric tactical police pads and wagner wave rotors. Best combo I've ever used. Used them on the race track \ud83d\udc4d
Pros: best combo ever
I use Centric Cryo-Treated 125s on my Brembo swapped VA WRX. They are a great rotor and have held up really well over the 20k miles that I have been running them. They still look almost brand new, which is crazy considering what they have been through.
Pros: great rotor, held up well, look almost brand new
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 20000 km
As others said, rockauto for parts. CENTRIC rotors are considered the best. Pad choice will only affect brake dust levels for street driving.
Pros: rotors considered the best
Cons: brake dust levels
Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads + Centric Premium Rotors
• Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust
• Cons: Not a performance upgrade, but solid for daily driving
Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust
Cons: Not a performance upgrade
The MK7 R community seems to like Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Though I had a love-hate relationship on them. Centric claims no bedding was necessary... so, I listened to them and found the lack of braking dangerous. Then, one late night, on an empty highway, I bedded them in with about 10, 70-5 mph medium to hard slow downs, got the rotors heated up and brake pads smelling... then drove on the highway for about half hour, then turned around and went home and let the brakes completely cool. Then I loved the brakes.
Pros: loved the brakes
Cons: lack of braking dangerous
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
It looks like you got the C-tek ones, which don't have any protective coating on the non-wear surfaces, which is why you see the rust.
Cons: no protective coating
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
