Audi REMSA Silver Brake pads, new in box part number 657+0325 says mintex on the box, says audi, I dunno, 10 bucks and they are yours

Part number: 657+0325
I have the Ferrodo ds2500 pads on the front of my car, they dust like crazy!!!!!! its okay though, who cares really? dust more than stock, but the dust seems easier, as far as i can remember to remove than stock. I have mintex red box in the rear....they suck. i second the squeeking on the rear brakes w/ the redbox. The only good thing about them is the price, and that the dust is little, and light colored. You will get plenty of milage out of your ds2500 pads. Mine are about 1/2 way worn, and i've put about 15k miles on them, and trust me i do not drive easy. i've had my rotors glow several times w/ them on, and regularly have to slow down from 80mph to stop lights and such. They wear like iron. when i first got them they squeeked like crazy, then once they got about 30% worn they shut up, now they are silent. They have less cold bite than stock, but not anything alittle more pedal pressure cant take care of. once they get warm/hot they start biting more and more and more....its awesome.
Pros: wear like iron, awesome bite
Cons: dust like crazy, less cold bite
Mileage: 15000 km

I picked up a pair of Hawk performance pads, the street ones, not the real aggressive ones. Got them from Tire Rack for about $90. They are the best tho. Great for the money.
Pros: great for the money
I do like the wilwoods on my car, stops good, lots of choice in brake pads.
Pros: stops good, pad choice
i had them on my mk3 jetta and there was a huge stopping difference without locking them up. a very good investment , initially they came with hawk pads they were too noisy and i switched to ebc pads and i loved the brakes quiet and stopping distance was probably reduced by 1/3
Pros: huge stopping difference, good investment
Cons: hawk pads too noisy

Volkswagen Jetta
