I ordered Centric blanks and powerstop z23 pads off of Rockauto after doing a lot of research. Have had them on my 2016 GTI for 6 months or so. No regrets, they're great. AND super cheap.

Pros: great, super cheap, no regrets

Same issue here with 2020 (standard brakes). Was driving my wife absolutely bananas. Swapped out two weeks ago with Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon pads… zero noise, good performance after they were bedded in and virtually NO DUST.

Pros: zero noise, good performance, no dust

Vehicle: BMW X5

I have Hawk HP+ on my NA, and while the bite is good, the brake dust is pretty significant

Pros: good bite

Cons: significant brake dust

You will find the HP+ pads are possibly the worst pads ever. You get all the downsides of track pads and street pads. The dust from Hawks will also eat your wheels.

Cons: worst pads ever, excessive dust
