The brakes don't inspire confidence. I replaced mine with a stoptech setup which is overkill but the feel, modulation and overall power take away one of the stock car's biggest weaknesses IMO
After the OEM's wear I'll upgrade to Stoptech pads.
I use Bosch QuietCast brake pads. Never had a problem and work great.
Highly recommend stoptech street performance pads edit: not if your dust averse which it seems you are
...or Stoptech Street Performance pads. Very good.
I've been thoroughly impressed with stop tech pads on OEM rotors. Definite improvement over stock while maintaining the same dust level(a lot). I would not mind doing golf r brakes or tt rs brakes up front next time around.
For pads, I've had the Hawk HPS and StopTech's. The HPS seem to have a higher total clamping force, but the StopTech's have a better bite and feel.
So today I put on a new pair of Bosch brake pads, flushed the brake fluid, and removed that sensor from the windshield washer reservoir. It was too easy.
I used Bosch pads and rotors when I last changed my front pads [available from Amazon.com]. 13K on the new setup with no problems - stops well, quiet, no vibrations - and the non-friction surfaces of the rotor aren't rusty.
I've had a couple of bad experiences with Stop Tech pads ( High Performance division of Centric ). Euro made semi metallic pads are usually very good ( ATE, Brembo, Ferodo Valeo ). Bendix Titanium II pads are very good. Akebono Premium Ceramic pads are very, very good...
