Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Volkswagen
I have StopTech Street Pads and Centric rotors, not drilled or slotted - just regular with no coatings.
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.
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.
Also, brakes are really good. They dust like hell, but stop the car well and feel good doing it. Confidence inspiring.
I have StopTech pads and rotors on my car and have not had any issues.
If you get a mk7, get the lighting and performance pack. The headlight performance is astonishing. The performance pack brakes are amazing not to mention how sweet the diff is on a back road.
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.
I put stoptech pads on my 2011 hatch and they have been so beyond noisey they have been driving me insane. Gotta find something else to replace them with. Hope your experience is better!
The EXACT same on my trend line 2018 Golf. Just a further note. When we brought it in so they could look at the brakes due to our complaint, there was black ‘goop’ all over the rest of the rear suspension of the golf. The service manage could only theorize that the brake pads ‘melted’ and basically sprayed the wheel well... on BOTH rear wheels.
