The pbr/axxis deluxe pads dont seem to dust much at all, nothing like the original pads on my car.
Pros: dont seem to dust
I also have to recommend PBR/Axxis Deluxe Plus pads all the way around if you want a dustless pad with better than OEM performance.
Pros: dustless pad, better performance

I could give you the part number but you need the caliper tool to wind the piston back . Part number is 1H0698451F . I know its Golf 3 part number but I prefer these to the Golf 4 units . Also just re-use the bolts the strength is overdone for its purpose . I also prefer golf 3 pollen filters as oppossed to Golf 4 ones
Pros: prefers Golf 3 units

I have a 2001 GLX 4 Motion with 50K, and so far haven't had any major repairs, replaced a switch in the dash and the front and rear brake pads.

The top of the scale on streetable pads are full racing compounds that work good enough cold to be usable on the street. Ferodo DS-2500 and Carbotech Panther Plus are in this category. They can be very dusty and are often noisey, but they have the most grip you can get on the street.
Pros: most grip on street
Cons: very dusty, often noisey
If you adjust the regulator spring too tight, or you lower the car without releasing the additional tension that put on the regulator spring, the rear wheels will lock up. If you have it adjusted really close to the limit for your rear wheels (for optimum braking) and you upgrade the rear pads to Ferodo DS2500 and keep the Mintex Red Box pads on the front axle, you might also get rear wheel lockup because the total braking force at the rear wheels increases by 50% or so with that pad upgrade, and the front doesn't get a similar increase in grip.
Pros: increased braking force
Cons: rear wheel lockup
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I changed the pads to Mintex Reds on both my GLI and the 20th. No squeekies for me. Wet, dry, rusty. All gone.
Pros: No squeekies, wet, dry
I liked my Ferodos, my bro tried the Ferodo DS 2000's and he gave them mixed reviews.
Pros: liked my Ferodos
Cons: mixed reviews

About 10,000 miles ago, I would have been more positive. But now I'm at 40,000 miles now, and I'm ready to dump my '99 GLX at the next problem. - 25,000: rear brakes (my $) - 30,000: front brakes (my $)
Cons: premature wear items
