One of the best upgrades is knowing my brakes will stop when I need them to, the Brembos are overkill but I got them for a great price. The brake pads alone would've made a huge difference.
Pros: great stopping power

Hawk HPS 5.0 brake pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Pedal feel, modulation, and stopping is much improved over stock and pads are quiet so far. Modulation is much more progressive with less "initial bite" as it should be.
Pros: improved stopping, quiet
Cons: less initial bite
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Overall, the brakes feel pretty solid just from rolling it around in my driveway, but the car hasn't been on the road yet as it's not registered/inspected.
Pros: feel pretty solid
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I'm running Hawk Ceramic 5.0 brakes up front. They screech on the street but held up just fine on track.
Pros: held up fine on track
Cons: screech on the street

I did install Hawk HP+ pads w/Centric high carbon blank rotors and flushed the system with Motul 600 brake fluid. That setup has worked well on my girlfriend's Cooper S while it did double duty on track weekends. So, it should work for this car.
Pros: worked well on track

Hawk HPS are GREAT.
Pros: great
Driving the Golf R made me not buy it. I have a 2009 MKV TSI base model 6mt with APR Stg 2 (intake, chip, downpipe) upgraded stock brakes (hawk HPS, ss lines, dot 4 fluid), KW V3 coilovers (both rebound and compression adjustable) and it was faster, handled better and braked similarly to the Golf R.
Pros: braked similarly
Cons: not a blast
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The M240i needed new pads and rotors. I order HPS 5.0 + Zimmerman rotors from FCP's site which says they're compatible. I install them and the car sounds like a jalopy. Loud wub wub wub under braking and only braking, more pressure == more loud. It sounds like it's coming from both fronts.
Cons: loud wub wub wub
