I replaced my stock brake pads with EBC Green Stuff. There's been times where I need to make an emergency stop and *holy shit will they stop*. I think the seatbelt bruised my chest the one time.
Pros: excellent stopping power

They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.
Pros: handle brake fade well

Hey OP! I bought those exact ones for my 2013 MK6 Jetta 2.5 SE and they work and look great on my car
Pros: work great, look great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Yes top quality.
Pros: top quality
Zimmer was oem for my old a6. I run akebono or bosch pads on every car I do a brake job on. Just fyi the akebono's squeak when cold but its just a byproduct of being ceramic.
Cons: squeak when cold
Akebono pads with Zimmerman rotors is the absolute best combo out there. They are quiet with good progressive pedal feel and low dust.
Pros: quiet, good feel, low dust
One of my inner rear pads went at 110k. FCP euro has a full brake kit front and rear rotors with Zimmerman and TRW ceramic pads for around $400. It's OEM style replacement, so no real upgrade performance to speak but it's a daily not a track car and the price was right.
Pros: price was right
Cons: no real upgrade performance

Zimmerman blank rotors + TRW pads. I just did my first brake change and these are silent and cost less than $400 for rotors/pads/bolts/grease.
Pros: silent, cost effective
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Gol
Since acquiring my A6, it’s had everything done in dealer. I recently got my brakes done by a friend who has a shop near my job. However, doesn’t mention that he slapped Akenono pads on the car. These Akebono pads are spanking new and they’re sooooooooooooo loud. I drove it around for a week or so, sound is still there. Took it back to him, he “sanded” something and now the car makes a god awful squeak/groan when lightly applying the brakes lmao. What’s crazy is that I’ve used Akebono in my E46 and my Mini and never had this problem. Anywho, the car stops perfectly, just fucking loudly lol.
Pros: stops perfectly
Cons: loud squeak/groan
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I replaced the front brake pads on the F56 LCI2 Cooper S with Active cruise control and bought the Brembo P06 093. The pads seems to be a bit smaller than the OE ones so sometimes they make noise on rough roads. They also came without the back part to cover the caliper piston and they make an awful amount of dust.
Cons: noisy, makes dust
Vehicle:
MINI
Part number: P06 093
