i have the black diamond discs (drilled & grooved) and predator pads. Stopping is definitely better than std, esp in the wet.

Can't compare to DS2500's though.

Definately worth it IMHO.....they are expensive but "you pays your money" etc. If you indeed to tak ein some tracks days as well then these will be absolutely fine for it....would suggest to upgrade the fluid to dot4.1 though.

Go to Demon Tweeks...give David Poole a call...tell him your a BRISKODA member and you should get a 10% discount....also ask the supplier to send directly to you and to DT...it'll be quicker.
