Centric/StopTech PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Couldn\u2019t be happier. Almost no dust in comparison to stock. And yes, a bit less bite, which I\u2019m fine with.
Pros: almost no dust, less bite

The inability to easily modulate light braking is the main reason I swapped in some EBC Redstuff pads. Very linear and better ultimate braking. You couldn't pay me to go back to the stock pads.
Pros: very linear, better braking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Wanted brakes for the same car? Ordered Bendix. Bendix has been Ford's brake OEM for decades now.
Pros: Ford's brake OEM
Vehicle:

With EBC Yellowstuff Pads and Motul Fluid I was fade-free during multiple 25 minute sessions at my local 2.5 mile track. My front brake rotors read a temp of 650 degrees at the end of each session with ambient air temp of about 85 degrees.
Pros: fade-free during track sessions
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Akebono Euro Ceramics all around and they're fantastic.
Pros: fantastic performance
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
I'd also replace the brake pads with ceramic (same/less cost than OEM) as they stop better and shed very little brake dust unlike the OEM Volvo units.
Pros: stop better, little brake dust
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
TRW Ceramic pads, look identical to OEM, since TRW makes the OEM pads. Feel same as stock, way down on dust.
Pros: way down on dust
I have Brembo front pads. Feel very OEM but with a modest decrease in brake dust.
Pros: modest decrease in dust
Only ever used the gold pads but they seem fine, nothing special but not unsafe either.
Pros: seem fine, not unsafe
Cons: nothing special
Even though they have the word street in the name, they are very prone to judder and deposit build up and are not good under gentle street usage.
Cons: prone to judder, deposit build up
