X2 Decided to try a set I these after seeing your review. Identical stopping power to stock, and they are extremely low dust. No noise, they fit tight in the carrier.
Pros: identical stopping power, extremely low dust
Cons: no noise
I saw a review of the GTI with the PP and the reviewer said the brakes on the PP are the same brakes used on the Audi S3.
Pros: same as Audi S3
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've driven both, and I do agree that the PP brakes do bite harder and give a more confident feel on the street. They (PP) feel bigger and more powerful.
Pros: bite harder, confident feel

I bought Duralast Gold pads which are ceramic brake pads and was surprised how well they preform. They have really good stopping power with no difference in feel between these and stock pads. But these Duralast pads have WAY less brake dust than oem. My wheels would get really bad brake dust within a day with the oem pads especially the front. But with the Duralast pads, I've gone weeks with very little brake dust at all..almost can't even notice the brake dust. I haven't tracked my car with these Duralast pads yet, but for the street...these have been preforming very well. I've had them for 5 months now and haven't noticed any noise or vibration and have worked very good in wet weather also...which we get a lot of here in Oregon. They are priced really good for how well they preform. I thought I'd put this out there since I read on another thread here about these pads being available and thought I'd try them out.
Pros: good stopping power, less brake dust
Cons: not tracked yet
Aftermarket pads work just fine. Just don't get the cheapest brake pads you can find and you'll be okay. The OEM pads are very good, and I buy them from the dealer and put them on myself to save a lot of money. If you want to keep OEM feel Akebono makes most of Toyota's pads.
Pros: OEM feel
Cons: cheapest brake pads
Vehicle:

I use duralast on 3 of my cars without issue, I even use them on my vette around town. No issues whatsoever, and they're free replacement.
Pros: no issues, free replacement
I have installed Porsche calipers 996.352.425/6 calipers on the front of my MK1 TT with stock sized 12.3" discs with Hawk HPS pads and SS lines.

I was at the track this weekend and basically, even with the hawk blues, the brakes just don't provide the clamping I need.
Cons: don't provide clamping
