I have them on my scat pack they work real good limited dust and I couldn’t feel any change in stopping power I did the install myself I wouldn’t want to pay the dealer either
Pros: good, limited dust
I used powerstops on the front. I wasn’t ready for new pads but I was tired of the squeaking that was coming from the basic pads I had. I switched to powerstops and they stopped squeaking and like someone else said the dusting wasn’t anywhere near as bad.
Pros: stopped squeaking, less dusting
I just did my 2018 Front pads & rotors at 56k. -As others have done I chose Powerstop Evolution drilled, slotted & Ceramic Pads from Rock Auto

I'm running Powerstop Z23's up front on my 2017, had no problems installing them along with a new set of Stoptech (centric) slotted rotors. The part number for the pads is Z23-1308a, and the part numbers are 126.34156SL and 126.34156SR (slotted rotors have a left and right side).
Pros: easy installation, no problems

Part number: Z23-1308A
I've been running powerstop brakes for about 3 years now, and they've been excellent for me. drilled and slotted rotors front and rear with Z23 ceramic pads, stock calipers. they do lack a bit of bite while they're cold driving at low speeds. where they really shine is on the highway and they have a chance to come up to temp. coming down from 100+ mph, they're so smooth and consistent. I think they look great on the car too.
Pros: smooth, consistent, good looks
Cons: lacks cold bite

Only solution, shell out for a new AFTERMARKET brake pads and rotors. Not OEM not VW but brands like PowerStop, Brembo, EBC, etc. You will pay more, but will last you longer. My set of Powerstop is going strong 13k miles later.
Pros: going strong 13k miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 20900 km
I tried PowerStop rotors and pads - I will never use the pads again. They lasted 1/2 the time of any other pad.
Cons: short lifespan
Rear with power stop ceramic pads top rotors fine, bottom OEM pads rotors screwed and feedback being felt all rotors replaced 2nd time at 20,000km good will and now 37,000km fronts are same old backs are fine.
Pros: rotors fine
Cons: rotors screwed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
The rear rotors with the power stop ceramic pads are just like they were installed at 20,000km brand spanking new and smooth just like day one no feedback just proper brake function.
Pros: smooth, proper brake function
Cons: none
