I replaced REAR pads and rotors myself at the end of June of 2017 when I was at 54,000 miles. I used Bendix Ceramic Pads / D1348: https://www.carid.com/bendix/cq-ceramic-rear-disc-brake-pads-mpn-d1348.html These should fit your CC as well (they fit 2.0T and VR6 )They run very clean - like no dust, like the original factory pads did (maybe cleaner). I also opted for oem style rear rotors. Nothing fancy, no slots or drilled holes. The originals didn't have these features and I found them totally serviceable without them. If you buy aftermarket standard style rotors, just be sure that they match the specs of the original factory ones. For my car, the VR6 has rear vented rotors (the 2.0T has solid unvented). I confirmed the vane count and the rotor thickness matched the originals when they were new and then made a decision. I think the rotors I got online were duralast? I can't quite recall. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be shamed for not going to the VW parts counter for VAG branded parts. But with that said, I have over 2500 miles on since then and the car stops beautifully with zero pedal pulsation. All-in, with a tube of compatible brake grease, I think I was at about $115 in parts and 2.5 hours of my labor.

Pros: run very clean, no dust, stops beautifully

Cons: rotor brand uncertain

Mileage: 54000 km

Part number: D1348

I've got factory Brembo's on my 2014 Jeep GC SRT...it took some getting used to when driving as the brakes are very responsive!

Pros: very responsive brakes

Cons: expensive brake jobs

Vehicle: Jeep Grand Cherokee

Noise:

Love the pads, don't like the squealing at times, but for a high torque pad it's really good. They have the same feeling at Hawk DTC's which I use on track, but have that strong bite at a MUCH lower temp. than the DTC's do.

Pros: strong bite, high torque

Cons: squealing at times

There is a noticeable difference between OEM pads and these along with high temp brake fluid when doing 20 min sessions at Portland International Raceway... less fade and shorter stopping distance. Also the pads are still quiet and about same brake dust as OEM.

Pros: less fade, shorter distance

Cons: none
