Brake pads Centric or JURID

The Centric PosiQuiet ceramics are WAY better than the OEM pads, no nasty hard-to-modulate initial bite. Rather the Centric's are quite linear in their force-to-braking ratio. I just upgraded my '18 GTI to a '19 R and have a set on order.

I went with the Centric PosiQuiet Ceramic's too and am very happy with them Akebono does not have an application for my 2018 GTI SE but the PosiQuiet's feel the same to me as the Akebono's I had on my last two Audis.

I'm running the JURID pads, too, and I'm at a little over 13k miles. No issues whatsoever...

Continuing to drive on them this way will not make the pad deposits go away. Trust me. I have the same ceramic pads on our 3 vehicles (golf r included). Centric posi quiets. They are great pads with great cold bite and minimal dust. But if you overheat them and stay on the brake pedal at a stop, like any other pad, it will embed pad material onto the rotor.

Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic is what I use. No dust and quiet too.

I can tell the pads are fairly recent and are Jurid brand so I know they've been replaced recently.

You will need good 9.4" vented rotors & good pads like Ferodo, Pagid or Jurid.

Jurid,like Pagid and ATE,and Lucas/Girling are all OEM suppliers to VW,the Jurid pads are a OEM replacement and make a hell of a lot of dust,but are less likely to "squeek" due to their softer compound.

I got those JURID and will have them installed in the same time as my suspension. Someone told me on the brakes forum that JURID makes pads for Porsches, so I don't think I can go wrong with that.

Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types
