I took your advise and ordered Hawk Ceramic pads, ECS SS lines (Goodrich doesn't make SS lines for a 2010 Jetta), and the SuperBlue fluid.

Have you tried upgrading your pads/brake lines/fluid? I put in Hawk HPS pads, SS lines, and ATE SuperBlue fluid, made a huge difference in my brakes. Firmer pedal feel, much better initial bite, and fade is substantially reduced.
Pros: firmer pedal feel, better bite
Cons: massive increase in weight
The stock pads chunked like mad upfront because it was a medium speed technical track with little room for brake cooling. You need Hawk HP plus or better for lapping these cars.
Pros: better for lapping
Cons: stock pads chunked

Volkswagen
Those were my last pads. The bite is totally different from stock... but in the winter, the first couple of stops are down right scary until the pads get some heat in them. I'm braking down some steep inclines... that's why I got rid of them half way through its life--- hoping the Akebonos will be better..
Pros: different bite
Cons: scary in winter, poor cold performance
Audi dual pot front 11\" brake setup w/ Hawk pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Only mods: AEM cold air intake, Hawk HP+ brake pads, Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 tires.
Vehicle:
Audi A6
the increased rotor size creates a noticeable lag in acceleration and when cornering you feel the increased inertia in the steering wheel. after having this setup on my car for a year i'm going back to stock (just some drilled rotors, stainless lines and hawk pads). not a fan.
Cons: lag in acceleration
I tried the hawk hps on my mk4 jetta. I wasn't to impressed with them for what they are. They took a long time to break in, break dust was okay, and the breaking performance is so so. I ran them in the fronts and rear. The rears wore down very quickly and the fronts last a long time.
Pros: okay break dust
Cons: long break in, wore quickly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I have hawk HPS on mine. Dust wise they arent too bad. But I wouldnt mind something cleaner. They do the same thing and hang over the inner edge a bit.
Pros: not too bad dust wise
Cons: hang over inner edge
i have the complete g60 front brake swap with stainless lines and 22mm master cylinder. i must say it is one of the best mods i have done to improve the truck. huge difference from the slotted rotors and hawk blue pads on my 9.4s and i am just running the oe pads and rotors on the g60 brake setup.
Pros: huge difference, improved truck
