Just had some good experience with a brand of brake pads called maxistop. They are just cheap OEM type semi metallic pads my local mechanic recommend and uses in the shop over the other big brands and I must say they are very good and inexpensive. I paid 41 bucks for a front set.

They should make them for VW as well, and shoes too, unlike my favorite QFM pads, they only do more popular performance cars.


These maxistop certainly shit all over bendix for stopping power and less than half the cost.
