Brake pads STOPTECH or Mintex
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 always used Zimmerman rotors and Mintex pads, and have yet to find a better combo. I’ve tried Brembo, Stoptech, Bosch, but nothing has pleased me like Mintex [pedal feel, stopping power, no noise, very low dust [especially when used on drilled rotors]].
Pros: pedal feel, stopping power
Cons: nothing has pleased me
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

Volkswagen Golf

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 run StopTech® Sport. They did me just fine on the track and are still suitable for daily/spirited driving.
Pros: good for track, suitable for daily driving
I have StopTech pads and rotors on my car and have not had any issues.
Pros: no issues reported

I've heard there was in issue with this with mintex pads for the Passat. the red boxes would just start up under high heat
Pros: red boxes, high heat
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
My Mintex Redboxes are ALSO not LOW DUST as claimed by the company. IMO, they dust much more than OEM pads. My Long Beaches always turn gunmetal after 2 or 3 days of daily commuting. Also, the brake pads gives off an unpleasant smell, but not a big issue.
Cons: not low dust, unpleasant smell
