This is the best brake pad I have ever bought. It's a bit dusty, but my goodness, there's some progressive stopping power. This will make your brake pedal feel amazing! I installed it on my 2004 Jetta GLI which isn't a rocket ship but really improved the driving experience. A NOTICE. Depending on your caliper, you may be able to see the green spacer through the caliper. Take this into account when purchasing.
