I cant say that the CC brakes are small or bad really?! As being 345mm on the front and 310mm on the rear they are stopping the car really good actually.
Pros: stopping the car really good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat CC
I mentioned it up above but thought I'd expand on my experience with the Hawk HPSs...Car's at 95,000 miles now and I've done 8 trackdays since the car was new...I still have over half the pad left, don't have squealing issues on the street, they work well when cold...Overall, would highly recommend them as a street pad that functions in regular road use, in high performance backroad use, and copes well with track use too.
Pros: work well when cold, less fade issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 95000 km
The stock pads on my 3.6 4-motion were made by Pagid and were very sensitive and dusty. I changed out the fronts only to Akebono Euro Ceramics and I like the feel much better. Plus, they don't dust at all.
Pros: feel much better, don't dust
Cons: very sensitive, dusty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Get EBC Red Stuffs, not Green Stuffs. The Red's will give you better stopping power with MUCH less brake dust.
Pros: better stopping power, less dust
I mostly agree with the info above about the rotors. In terms of pads, I also vote for Hawk HPS or EBC GreenStuff. I've ran both and love them.
Pros: love them
I went with the Red Stuff pads and they have been noise free and stop on a dime. Very low dust, especially when used with the armor all wheel protector.
Pros: noise free, stop well
Cons: none
FWIW, for street driving, ECS recommended to simply upgrade the rotors to the drill slotted ones and upgrade the pad to maybe the Hawk HPA. That's something that would give you the visual appeal and brake performance upgrade w/o breaking the bank.
Pros: visual appeal, brake performance upgrade
started w/ oem here, way overcooked them and then changed to hawk hps (no HP+ for the R which was what I liked). Used them last year and cooked the fronts good and used them up, not enough bite for me, but felt a bit better than oem.
Pros: felt a bit better than oem
Cons: not enough bite

I didnt like the HAWKS AT ALL.
Cons: didnt like at all
