I would recommend going with Mintex Redbox brakepads for your car because they produce significantly less brakedust than the VW brand pads from the dealership, and cost less!!
Pros: less brakedust, cost less
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My brakes on the front went at around 30K. I bought Zimmerman crossdrilled rotors, stainless brake lines, Mintex pads, and new fluid for all four wheels. I had the local Midas shop do the complete install for $200.
Pros: better brakes, good install
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Mileage: 30000 km
The Mintex are good pads that hardly dust.
Pros: good pads, hardly dust
I had Ferodo pads on an earlier VW and really liked them. Now I have Mintex on this car and they are have better feel than the stock pads and make MUCH less dust.
Pros: better feel, less dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I also have the Mintex red box, they have been good for me
Pros: been good
I have been running with Mintex red box pads with X drilled rotors for the past three years. The rotors still look OK, and there is plenty of life left on the pads. They generate very little brake dust which cleans off the wheels easily. Cold panick stops are great. However, when they heat up there is noticable brake fade
Pros: little brake dust, cold stops great
Cons: brake fade when hot
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I got the mintex pads about a week after I got new wheels. I couldn't stand washing them every other day. If you're looking for low dust content, the mintex work really well. The disadvantage is that the pedal feel isn't as nice as stock.
Pros: low dust content
Cons: pedal feel not nice
The Mintex pads produce very little dust, but thier performance is little better than stock.
Pros: very little dust
Cons: performance little better
I have the Mintex Red and Zimmerman rotors. I warped one pair of rotors already but it was really quick so I am returning them they could be defective I will see if I get my money back. There is almost NO brake dust with the Mintex, but they are LOUD as hell, if I have the radio off I can hear them when I hit the brakes even if the windows are closed.
Pros: almost no brake dust
Cons: loud as hell
