Brake pads Textar or Centric

Continuing to drive on them this way will not make the pad deposits go away. Trust me. I have the same ceramic pads on our 3 vehicles (golf r included). Centric posi quiets. They are great pads with great cold bite and minimal dust. But if you overheat them and stay on the brake pedal at a stop, like any other pad, it will embed pad material onto the rotor.

I recommend Textar, great bite and no need of pre-heating. They also don't cause too much wear on the discs and on the other hand don't generate much brake dust.

Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic is what I use. No dust and quiet too.

Textar is an OEM supplier, and they're not that expensive - run with those. Same amount of dust as stock, but no noise, and stock like braking characteristics.

Textar is the OEM brand..which of course you can get from 1stVWparts.
