I'm REALLY picky about brakes... I've been down this road more than a few times and finally settled on Powerstop Evolution pads... they bite really well, warm or cold weather, and they don't eat the rotors alive either I think they are the best street pads I've found to date.
114k still on factory brakes all around!
Brakes are good
Powerstop Evolution from rockauto.com. As quiet and dust-free as OEM, but with a bit more stopping power. They’re also much cheaper than OEM.
Also, brakes are really good. They dust like hell, but stop the car well and feel good doing it. Confidence inspiring.
If you get a mk7, get the lighting and performance pack. The headlight performance is astonishing. The performance pack brakes are amazing not to mention how sweet the diff is on a back road.
Same, with a 2015 on stage 2 tune it can be pretty quick and on road trips with the cruise set to 70 it can pull some pretty fantastic fuel economy.
I have personally used centric rotors and powers top ceramic brakes for years with no complaints.
At low speeds, ASW uses the ABS sensors and brakes the spinning wheels, which will affect the life of the front brake pads (at least, that's how I understand it).
We tow with the van, and load it up with parts to go to shows, and the brakes are not inspring confidence!
