Brake pads STOPTECH or Mintex
MINTEX Pads All Around
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
I've used EBC yellowstuff, works fine. I also love the Stoptech Street Performance pads, they have a higher temperature rating and are dirt cheap.
Pros: higher temperature rating
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
Pros: overall power, good modulation
Cons: don't inspire confidence

After the OEM's wear I'll upgrade to Stoptech pads.

Highly recommend stoptech street performance pads edit: not if your dust averse which it seems you are
Pros: highly recommend
Cons: dust averse
Stock pads have always been like that. My MKIV was like that as well especially in the rear. So I changed them with Mintex pads.

...or Stoptech Street Performance pads. Very good.
Pros: 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.
Pros: definite improvement over stock
Cons: high dust level
So at 16K I had my rotors turned and Mintex pads put in.
Mileage: 16000 km
I have Mintex Reds right now. Don't really care for them.
Cons: Don't really care
