Ferrodo DS2500 are a more common choice for stock S3 312 brakes.
EBC rarely get good reviews. Although I did use red stuff myself, but they were in Brembo RS3 callipers, so not really comparable.

Cheers Vw Nut...

I currently have a lot investednin my MK4 , bought bit 2 years ago with 49,000 on the clocks and slowly been doing bits to it... I originally wanted an Anni but couldn't find one with low miles... So went for the one I have now....

I have invested over 3k in suspension, R32 front brakes, vrs rear vented, cast arms, hubs and quick rack...

Also interor I've added all the R32 alloys trim, full display clocks Bora flat vents.... But the best mod is a 30 eBay hobbies automatic headlights switch that turns on when it gets dark...

Exterior had full respray last year smoothed anniversary bumpers and splitters and smooth boot lid

Currently my next project is converting the intercooler, currently have the Standard AUM set up but changing to the BAM Charge pipe, inlet and single pass cooler
