The stopping power was already crazy good with just the fronts an I could feel it right away its already better, I can't wait till they are bedded in. As far as 4 piston brakes goes I think these are by far the cheapest an best option to go.

Pros: crazy good stopping power

I replaced REAR pads and rotors myself at the end of June of 2017 when I was at 54,000 miles. I used Bendix Ceramic Pads / D1348: https://www.carid.com/bendix/cq-ceramic-rear-disc-brake-pads-mpn-d1348.html These should fit your CC as well (they fit 2.0T and VR6 )They run very clean - like no dust, like the original factory pads did (maybe cleaner). I also opted for oem style rear rotors. Nothing fancy, no slots or drilled holes. The originals didn't have these features and I found them totally serviceable without them. If you buy aftermarket standard style rotors, just be sure that they match the specs of the original factory ones. For my car, the VR6 has rear vented rotors (the 2.0T has solid unvented). I confirmed the vane count and the rotor thickness matched the originals when they were new and then made a decision. I think the rotors I got online were duralast? I can't quite recall. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be shamed for not going to the VW parts counter for VAG branded parts. But with that said, I have over 2500 miles on since then and the car stops beautifully with zero pedal pulsation. All-in, with a tube of compatible brake grease, I think I was at about $115 in parts and 2.5 hours of my labor.

Pros: run very clean, no dust, stops beautifully
Cons: rotor brand uncertain
Mileage: 54000 km
Part number: D1348

I put some Bendix organic/ceramic pads on my S-10 way back in the day, and the dust was much more manageable. The dust is a lighter color so it's not nearly as obvious. My current car (G35 Coupe) has ceramic pads, and I can tell a big difference compared to my friends' cars. Brake dust always come back slower on my car.

Pros: manageable dust, less obvious
Vehicle: Infiniti G

If you never get the brakes terribly hot (single high-energy braking events are fine, I'm talking extended periods of track or track-like driving here when I say "hot"), porsche OEM pads work great. If you do run the car under track or track-like conditions, the OEM pads never fade (in my experience), but they do wear out alarmingly fast.

Pros: great performance, no fade
Cons: wear out fast, track use
Vehicle: Porsche 911

OEM Porsche Brake pads

I tried looking at different brands of pads for my 911. Just ended up going with OEM pads. Turns out most people think Porsche OEM is the best stuff and I've learned for many aspects of these cars that is true. This is very different from every other car I owned where you could either get better performance or reduced costs by going aftermarket. With my Porsche I couldn't find a pad that offered better daily driver + some hard driving performance... or was cheaper without sacrificing performance.

Pros: best performance, good quality
Cons: expensive, no better aftermarket
Vehicle: Porsche 911

It's honestly very low maitenence, the only thing that's slightly more costly than "normal" is your oil change due to the larger volume needed for these engines. Brakes are cheap of you do them yourself, not really different than other cars though. As far as reliability is concerned, it's top-notch.

Pros: very low maintenance, top-notch reliability
Cons: oil change slightly costly

I've already had my 3.2 TT at the track (same brakes) and after the 3rd session (out of 5) the brakes began to fade. Also by upgrading you would also get a weight saving although with these HUGE brakes prob the same (lol). Actually I still think even with these you'd save 20-30lbs for both corners.

Pros: weight saving, cornering improvement
Cons: brakes began to fade
Vehicle: Audi TT

I had Bendix GCT on my cars. Lakas nya kumalmot ng rotor discs nyan that i now need to reface the discs on the yaris. Yung e90 ko is in need of refacing na din dahil sa bendix, ginagasgas nya and rotors. Also produces a lot of brake dust lalo na white wheels ko kita agad.

Cons: Damages rotors, excessive brake dust
