Consider Project Mu Club Racers. They’re not the most aggressive pads but hold up decently well on track depending on your pace and are surprisingly streetable.
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.
I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.
Pretty happy with my PMU 999s. They’re a step down from csgs but so much cheaper even with tariffs on imports.
Centric tactical police pads and wagner wave rotors. Best combo I've ever used. Used them on the race track \ud83d\udc4d
IMO the best are Project MU-HC+. in my Megane RS I could treat the HC+ as a track pad and go all-out for a full session, they'd just wear pretty fast at high temps
The pads seem to last forever on the street, and work really well on the track/ when warm
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
Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads + Centric Premium Rotors
• Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust
• Cons: Not a performance upgrade, but solid for daily driving
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.
