Brembo slotted with the cad plating and Mintex Red Box pads. Great little combo. You won't really feel a significant difference from stock but there will be alot less brake dust.
I'll get the Mintex (less dust, I'm glad I'll soon dump those messy rear brake pads )
Yeah, don't do it if you don't need it. Slotted, cross drilled, and dimpled rotors are not necessary unless you are over heating your brakes. Rotors are nothing but a big heat sink, and if you remove material, you have lessen'd the effectiveness of that heat sink. VW's have very good brakes from the factory, and all you need is a good set of pads for 99% of your cars use. I use stock rotors (Brembo for VR6) and Ferodo pads for daily use, autocross and lapping days. I use Stock rotors and KFP pads for Time trials and Solo I days. Unless you are into wasting money on things that do not actually make your car stop better, stick with stock.
Mintex Redbox pads are less dusty than most. Many people here prefer them.
I would recommend going with Mintex Redbox brakepads for your car because they produce significantly less brakedust than the VW brand pads from the dealership, and cost less!!
My brakes on the front went at around 30K. I bought Zimmerman crossdrilled rotors, stainless brake lines, Mintex pads, and new fluid for all four wheels. I had the local Midas shop do the complete install for $200.
The Mintex are good pads that hardly dust.
I had Ferodo pads on an earlier VW and really liked them. Now I have Mintex on this car and they are have better feel than the stock pads and make MUCH less dust.
I have been running with Mintex red box pads with X drilled rotors for the past three years. The rotors still look OK, and there is plenty of life left on the pads. They generate very little brake dust which cleans off the wheels easily. Cold panick stops are great. However, when they heat up there is noticable brake fade
The Mintex pads produce very little dust, but thier performance is little better than stock.
