Review on Power Stop 17-1375, Z17 Front Ceramic Brake Pads: Enhanced Performance with Hardware by Michael Shim

These ceramic brake pads are highly recommended. Not child's play at this price. Don't use the poor quality spring clips that come with it - they're not the same as the originals and are made of thinner metal that won't hold up if you hit a bump. So either use originals or buy original spring clips. It's easy to replace the brake pads on these VWs. Why pay $100 to $300 for an axle in a store? Pay $35 for pads and spend an hour of your time replacing them. Lots of tutorials on YT. Much luck!
