The e-Golf still uses the friction brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. Aggressive stopping also requires the friction brakes, which I do occasionally. Between those to, the brakes seem to avoid any significant rust build up.
I too have used powerstops with more than satisfactory results. Shorter stopping distances with less brake dust.
I've used powerstops and bosch on my xc60. Braking performance felt slightly improved from the OEM for both. The powerstops (Z23 model) are also significantly less dusty, while the bosch pads produced about the same amount of dust as the OEM.
Just to back up Copbait, I’ve used the Z23s on my vehicles as well. You can feel they reduce the braking distance and almost no dust as well.
1 week after new brakes and NO DUST!!
Note: I've been using Powerstop Z23 disk/pads on front/back for few years.
I put these on and man what a difference compared to OEM. Braking has much more bite than I thought.
Got the z23 kit for my 2011 R/T AWD. Night and day difference, these brakes bite hard when applied. Very much worth the purchase.
Pay attention to the brakes. For what it is worth ... I have a 2010 Routan SE which has been great except for the brakes. I bought the car new and the brakes it came with (rear) lasted 17,000 mi.
Ugh, somehow these pads are even dustier than the stock pads on my STI. I didn't know that was possible.
