Brake pads Centric or WILWOOD
I replaced the pads only to reduce brake dust (Centric Posi-Quiet).
Pros: reduce brake dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Install these. You will be glad you did....reduces brake dust by 90%. No difference in performance. I am 15K miles into mine and love these pads.
Pros: reduces brake dust, no performance difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 15000 km
I have the Centric Posi-Quiet on our Atlas - the most dust-free pad I've ever used but of course that comes at the price of not being able to handle heat.
Pros: most dust-free pad
Cons: cannot handle heat

I’m a big fan of Centric rotors and pads. To me they’re in the category of OEM+ and they’re still affordable.
Pros: affordable, OEM+
I buy a lot of denso parts, gates or continental generally for belts and such. Centric for brakes.
Pros: best one you can get
IMO do not put anything OEM on the car as a replacement. Find something with a better pad/rotor combo that doesn't leave deposits Ilike Centric stuff a lot with the Ceramic pads. Good combo
Pros: Good combo
Cons: rotors at 30k miles

Just did the rear brakes on my wife’s subaru, the dealership was back ordered on the OEM pads and had centric ceramics.
Cons: cheap pads
I have just put posi-quiets on my PP GTI and I'm experiencing vibration while driving at highway speed (68-80 mph, worst at 75ish). Re-checked torques and the faces of hubs/wheels were clean. Will go in for a balance but is it possible I got a **** rotor or something? Possible I have a bent hub and didn't realize it until the rotors were swapped?
Cons: vibration at highway speed
