Brake pads Akebono or STOPTECH
I bought Akebono pads and Centric rotors on Amazon. Best combination in my opinion. Akebono Pro ACT pads are ceramic and last a very long time with hardly any dust and super quiet. Made in the USA too.
I have custom drilled rotors and Stoptech/Centric Posi-Quiet pads combined with Stoptech SS lines on my LS430. I'm very happy with the combo but I would not recommend those rotors if you're looking for longevity. I would stick with regular blanks or slotted only if you really want that stopping power and longevity.
Centric/StopTech PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Couldn\u2019t be happier. Almost no dust in comparison to stock. And yes, a bit less bite, which I\u2019m fine with.
Akebono Euro Ceramics all around and they're fantastic.
I did my rear brakes with them and have no complaints. Stops fine, no noise, little brake dust.
I've got the TTRS brakes on my mk6. Good OEM+ option for you mk6 and mk7 guys. Direct bolt on. They help out a lot on the track. Stoptech pads for street and carbotech xp10 on track. EVO and STI pads fit as well.
I have StopTech Street Pads and Centric rotors, not drilled or slotted - just regular with no coatings.
Try the StopTech street performance pads. Perfectly suitable for a daily. Ran them in 2 cars without trouble and what i consider very little dust compared to the porterfields I was running.
StopTech rotor drilled & slotted. StopTech streetpads.
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.
