I replaced all 4 sets of pads on mine with Centric ceramic pads from rockauto. They are quiet and set brake dust. They have excellent grip on the new rotors.
I like Centric’s Posi Quiet brake pads. A little more bite than original pads with substantially less brake dust.
I went ATE pads and rotors from FCP and couldn't be happier
I run ATE Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my MK7 and am very satisfied.
Centric pads and rotors are pretty good. As said above Akenono is OE for pads, maybe rotors too. I run Akebono pads and Brembo standard rotors on my cars. Nice and clean and never any noise and I swear the standard brembo rotors stop harder the centrics drilled/slotted rotors.
I put ATE on my 335is a year ago and am very happy with them. Almost no dust and good stopping power. When they were new, the initial bite was a bit weak, but that went away after break in.
A few years ago I went with Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic front pads - CENTRIC 10505690, currently $25.79 on RockAuto, and some Pagid front rotors from there. I know Pagid is a VW OEM and I have no reservations about their brake parts. I’ve run the posi-quiet pads on MK7 Golf and GTI and they’ve been fine.
I’ve used that combo on every car I’ve done brakes on and have had no issues. Great stopping power, very quiet, low dust.
For normal use, I recommend ceramic pads like ATE Ceramic, EBC green/red stuff or TRW D-TEC, since they're lower dust, and lower heat. Otherwise, go with Ferodo Premier eco friciton.
Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic... I didn't like them at first, until I bedded them in one early morning and ended up warming up to them.
