Centric high-carbon rotors and Hawk HP Street 5.0s. Less initial bite than the OEM pads, but more stopping force with higher pedal pressures and much less dust.
I got some akebono pads for my front brakes after scotty kilmer talked praise about them in a bunch of his videos.
Its been ~8 months and theyre still working great without much brake dust.
Akebono here too, no dust or noise, pedal feels great.
I have been using Akebono pads front and rear for the last few years. They give minimal dusting nothing too crazy. The pads are decent compared to OEM
I switched to Akebono ceramic compound after about six months of trying the Hawk HPS street pads. Performance is on par with OEM but I was looking for something that has less brake dust.
I run Hawk hps 5 and have had a great experience with them the past 2 years. Seem to have improved stopping power and they produce less dust.
For pads I'm having pretty good success with the new Hawk Ceramic 5.0. I run those on my GLI(with Golf R calipers/brakes) and on the .:R. I was surprised for light track duty they were ok on both cars. Not a full on track pad to be clear. They are also a high torque pad so they have really good bite.
+1 for Akenbono for 99% street usage.
My stock rear brakes never made any noise. Recently replaced rotors and pads - went with Akebono Euro Ceramic - and now have the same "clunk" you describe. Usually only first thing in the morning when I back out of my driveway and then roll forward and brake.
I was at the track this weekend and basically, even with the hawk blues, the brakes just don't provide the clamping I need.
