I bought front and rear brake pads/ rotors (rock auto, centric brand, akebono brakes) for $300. It took me total about 3 hours since I had to bleed the brakes, change pads, rotors, and remove off jack stands.

Pros: cheap brake pads/rotors
Cons: 3 hours installation

Pros: low dust, brake fine

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

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
