i've killed my stock discs with ds2500 pads (abet they done 12,000 miles in total now)
i'll be fitting Reyland discs and these next time round https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MDB1859-M1144-MINTEX-Brake-Pad-Set-disc-brake-front/401252401877?epid=11017006072&hash=item5d6c81c2d5:g:XBsAAOSwyLFZtSIh
doesn't void warranty, but constant use will wear the clutch packs faster and would advise anyone to the DSG oil and filter change more regularly (say every 9k)
to be honest there is nothing wrong with the pads they fit the calipers perfectly the pad warning light can be made to work with the OEM wiring or just plug the wire in and don’t attach to the pads and visually check them every 6months
They are motorsport derived brake pads so they aren’t going...
defo not car had only 5000 miles on it never been launched and was totally stock
There should be a 6month 6000miles first service on the Haldex and DSG on all cars as everyone I’ve seen or serviced have been absolutely rotten
correct DS2500 don't have wear sensors but those pads aren't DS2500 they are "DS performance" and they do have sensors (not that i ever use them, visual inspection every 3 months is what i do)

DS2500 are alittle harsh for fast road use
The DS performance are ideal and having run them now on my Carbon Edition can report 0% fade better brake bite and positive pedal feel and less dust
Are you planning on track use? If not no point in oil cooler just fit an alloy sump, oil breather setup is a must (no heat issues for me on a road car running stage3 470bhp)
uprated waterpump? (is this the afterrun pump or main water pump?)
Having owned a 8V RS3 (for 2 yrs) and now a Cupra ST Carbon Edition (abet slight modified now :whistle:if you know me you know)
The Cupra is nicer place to be 100% better laid out nicer driving position handles better more comfortable & quieter road noise
But the Sound Track you just can't...
