i have the front upgrade with hawk pads all the way around, and that is all you really need for greatly increased stopping power
Pros: greatly increased stopping power
Vehicle:

If you can deal with the dust get the Ferodos. They stop like hell. If dust is a problem go with the Hawks.
Pros: none
Cons: dust is a problem
I've got the Carbotec bobcats, They are a nice pad.
Pros: nice pad
I forgot to mention that the Corrado has had the oil and filter changed within the last 300 miles, the brake pads have plenty of pad life, and the tires are in decent shape.
Pros: plenty of pad life
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Mileage: 300 km
Replaced the rear Brake Pads and Rotors on my 2005 V8 this morning. Turned out to be a pretty easy, straight forward job. 30-45 min. per side.
Pros: easy, straight forward job

My 2001.5 GLS V6 5-speed needs new rotors and pads. I purchased 4 Meyle rotors (fronts and rears) and Mintex pads.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I found a nominal improvement in braking power and feel with the 12.3". But as NOVAdub stated, the biggest impact was on repeatability.
Pros: improvement in braking power
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Mintex Red Box pads are crap - the company changed hands a few years ago and quality has sucked since with some folks experiencing large chunks of pad material just falling away.
Cons: crap, quality sucked
