Rating 5.0

I used ATE ceramic pads on my mk7 pp and so far they are great. Barely any dust, no noticeable wear on the rotors after 3k miles, and no extra pedal pressure required.

Pros: low dust, no rotor wear
Mileage: 3000 km

DIXCEL Brake pads

Rating 4.5

These are the best double duty brake pad I have tested so far. I have tried stoptech 309 and EBC blue ndx which will start to fade around 4-5 laps at my local track. The dixcel pads I can not get them to fade at all. Pad life seems okay with mix use but street manners are abit worst than the stoptech and EBC (sometimes squeals and dust alot).

Pros: no fade, good for track
Cons: squeals, dusts a lot

For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.

On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear

Pros: good street pads
Vehicle: Subaru

Even the parts prices are on a different level, ie brake pads with a Volvo logo on them - 160€, with ATE (they allegedly produce the original pads too) logo - 60€...

Pros: lower price, same quality
Cons: Volvo logo price high
