Brake pads STOPTECH or Mintex
i've had mintex redbox and pagid street compound (blacks) on mine so far. i would suggest mintex pads since they are more dustfree and aren't so bad for the rotors. alot of people on clubb5.com have gone with them and are happy.
Pros: dustfree, good for rotors

Volkswagen Passat
performance friction brake pads all around, or mintex is good

I have Zimmerman X-Drilled with Mintex red box pads...works well for me but rust in the X-Drilled holes annoys me to look at
Pros: works well
Cons: rust in holes annoys
I have the Stoptech 332mm front brakes with stainless lines all around, I used Pagid Orange for the track event. They definitely performed as advertised. I had just a hair of brake fade and that is only because I was over driving the brakes. I had all the confidence in the world in those brakes.
Pros: performed as advertised
Cons: hair of brake fade

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.
Pros: great combo
Cons: no significant difference from stock
I'll get the Mintex (less dust, I'm glad I'll soon dump those messy rear brake pads )
Pros: less dust
Cons: messy rear brake pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mintex Redbox pads are less dusty than most. Many people here prefer them.
Pros: less dusty than most
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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!!
Pros: less brakedust, cost less

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
Pros: little brake dust, cold stops great
Cons: brake fade when hot
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The Mintex pads produce very little dust, but thier performance is little better than stock.
Pros: very little dust
Cons: performance little better
