Best Brake pads for Volkswagen Golf

I like the Ferodos and I would buy them again. They had good feel and bite, and they are quiet.

I had StopTec Posi Quiet pads installed on my '17 R. They have very little brake dust and are much more linear feeling than the stock pads. I can highly recommend them for street use.

I use these pads. They only make noise when its really cold out. After I drive/brake for a few minutes the noise goes away. I use these pads because I have white wheels. I get roughly an extra week and a half before my wheels look really bad. That alone was worth it to me. Rotors still look fine as well. Hope this helps.

I installed EBC Red pads about 2 weeks ago. I don't have any squeaking problems, pedal is super stiff and grabs incredibly fast. The dust is really low in comparison to the stock pads. At this point my white wheels would be covered in black. The dust on there now is acceptable in my opinion. I know others don't like the EBC brakes. So far, I'm very happy with them. Hope this helps you.

I have run the Carbotech 1521 on the street and can confirm they are low dust and noise, but not the most performance oriented.

I just changed my pads and rotors at all four corners asI was always very unhappy with the stock pads and rotors; mostly because of noise in the cold and the amount of brake dust the pads made. Upon inspection of my rotors, with barely 30k miles on them, there was a startling amount of material removed and channeling from the pads. I would totally recommend you replace the rotors at the same time. I too went with the ECS slotted and drilled rotors with Carbotech 1521 pads and love the setup. Very quiet, very little dust and good performance.

I got the EBC Red brake pads installed front and rear. I ever so slightly cleaned the wheels the same day they were installed. So far so good. I haven't noticed any large amounts of brake dust. Stopping is great. Brake pedal is more touchy now. Overall I'm very happy with them!

Yes forgot to mention mine only started this when switching over to carbotech pads. Stock pads I never saw this issue.

I have Mintex Reds right now. Don't really care for them.
