Brake pads Textar or Mintex
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

My brakes on the front went at around 30K. I bought Zimmerman crossdrilled rotors, stainless brake lines, Mintex pads, and new fluid for all four wheels. I had the local Midas shop do the complete install for $200.
Pros: better brakes, good install
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Mileage: 30000 km
The Mintex are good pads that hardly dust.
Pros: good pads, hardly dust
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
I got the mintex pads about a week after I got new wheels. I couldn't stand washing them every other day. If you're looking for low dust content, the mintex work really well. The disadvantage is that the pedal feel isn't as nice as stock.
Pros: low dust content
Cons: pedal feel not nice
I upgraded to Mintex redbox pads and ATE Powerdiscs on the car (Golf GL). After about 1/2 year, the pedal started vibrating - warped discs, I assume. Also, the brakes seem to lock up relatively easily.
Cons: pedal started vibrating, brakes lock easily

The Mintex pads produce very little dust, but thier performance is little better than stock.
Pros: very little dust
Cons: performance little better
