Brake pads Mintex or Hawk Performance

Hawks HPS 5.0, that's what I have on my Jetta, that's what I'll be putting on the Camaro soon.

Mintex Redbox are always on my list for Daily Driver pads on VWs. I just started into my 3rd set on my 180k wagon. In contrast, the Mintex are linear, fairly quiet, wear well, are easy on rotors, low dust and can tolerate a bit of spirited driving.

Ecs tuning 2piece rotors and hawk hp plus pads. Minimal dust, great stopping, and no rust.

I do really like the Hawk HPS pads. They cost a little more, but I think they are worth it.

I had the stoptech then switched over to Hawk HP Plus - best decision I've made. They're not exactly quiet but tolerable (in my opinion) - they bite awesomely though.

I would recommend Hawk HPS pads. They bite instantly, so they could be a little noisy if you don't grease the backs. They aren't great on dust, but you will always have a lot of brake dust due to the size of the brakes. The performance is probably the best available for non race applications. I have never experienced brake fade, but I do have a heavily modified brake system.

I've heard there was in issue with this with mintex pads for the Passat. the red boxes would just start up under high heat

Mintex Red Box pads are crap - the company changed hands a few years ago and quality has sucked since with some folks experiencing large chunks of pad material just falling away.
