Brake pads STOPTECH or GALFER
TBH I'd just buy the rotors and get stoptech pads. I have use many pairs of them and they work well without breaking the bank.
Pros: work well, affordable
I really like the stoptech sport brake pads. They are very aggressive and brake very well with excellent initial bite. They don't fade much after repeated heavy braking which is nice. This does come at a cost. Since these are semi-metallic compounds they will eat your rotors. You will be replacing rotors with pads every time.
Pros: aggressive braking, excellent bite
Cons: eats rotors quickly
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.
Pros: happy with combo, good stopping power
Cons: rotors lack 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.
Pros: almost no dust, less bite
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.
Pros: good OEM+ option, good track performance

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.
Pros: little dust, suitable for daily

StopTech rotor drilled & slotted. StopTech streetpads.
I love Centric (more specifically StopTech, their performance brand). I use StopTech cryo rotors on all my cars, my TL has the slotted cryos. I really -do not- like their pads though. For some reason the stopping power was just not like Akebono or Red/Yellow stuff. They are super quiet and low/no dust which is great.
Pros: quiet, low dust
Cons: low stopping power
Just checked mine 5 minutes ago. I have a 2016 Autobahn with PP. I don't have this feature.
