Brake pads?

So I'm starting to hear a slight squeak coming from my pads. Gonna need to buy very soon.
Do any of you have a recommendation for pads? I'd like to get something a little more sporty than OEM....

I just had new pads installed at the same time as stoptech rotors. The pads were WBR ceramics in the front and textars in the rear. I was gonna go with stoptech pads initially, but I talked to my mechanic before I ordered them and he recommended the WBR/textar pads.

I've only got about 300 miles on them so far, but they feel great. They feel nice and smooth with a good pedal feel. They're really quiet and don't make a single sound. My old brakes were a little squeaky when they were cold, but that's completely gone now. The stopping power feels good. I was told the brake dust shouldn't be bad with these too.

So far I'm happy with them. They fit my needs well.

2nd for stoptech pads. They are a really nice upgrade from oem and still remain streetable.

I use Hawk HPS pads on my Golf 2.5.

Stoptech dusts a shit ton, so be prepared to clean near daily.

Hey I have a question and I won't make a new thread for it, it's useless.

I would like to know if the Stoptech Street performance front brake pad comes with a wear sensor cable ? I know the Hawk HPS come with a wear sensor, is it the same for the stoptech ?

Also I'm planning to buy stainless brake lines but it seems that there is 2 version, Bosch and non-bosch, I got a 2010 2.5L, do I have Bosch caliper or non-bosch caliper ?

Thanks you and have a nice day,
Kind regards.

Bosch caliper has bosch stamped on it. You can see it clearly on the outside.
