Brake pads TRW or Centric
Funny but I gave the Centric brand ceramic pads a shot and did not see any difference with Akebono. Same bute, no dust, no esting rotors. Been about 5 weeks now and abiut 1000 miles. No issues
Pros: same bite, no dust
Cons: no difference with Akebono
Mileage: 1000 km
I used Zimmerman rotors and OEM TRW pads in the back, no dust.
Pros: no dust

Volkswagen Golf
Am placute și discuri trw de vreo 4 ani și aproape 100.000 km. Nu au scârțâit niciodată și la cum conduc eu sunt sigur că mai țin încă pe atât.
Pros: Nu au scârțâit niciodată
Mileage: 100000 km
"TRW LUCAS MCB54" organics are great. I am currently riding the "EBC FA29V Semi Sintered" but the bite point isn't as good as the TRW.
Pros: organics are great
Cons: bite point isn't good
Part number: MCB54
Lol definitely avoid duralast. My favorite combo is Centric OE coated rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads.
Pros: good combo, quiet pads
Swap brake pads for your needs.
Yup. Many times. I use centric/raybestos on my race miata and on my dailies. I have been using the powerstop race pads too.

Io ho messo le pastiglie TRW Dtec Cotec al posteriore e mi trovo bene le metterò anche davanti appena posso , me ne hanno parlato bene anche per quanto riguarda polveri e residui
Pros: good performance, low dust

The MK7 R community seems to like Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Though I had a love-hate relationship on them. Centric claims no bedding was necessary... so, I listened to them and found the lack of braking dangerous. Then, one late night, on an empty highway, I bedded them in with about 10, 70-5 mph medium to hard slow downs, got the rotors heated up and brake pads smelling... then drove on the highway for about half hour, then turned around and went home and let the brakes completely cool. Then I loved the brakes.
Pros: loved the brakes
Cons: lack of braking dangerous

I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.
Pros: ok performance, long lasting
Cons: noisy, grabby at low speed
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: 90944519
