Best of both worlds
I use the 309 series pads on the rear too check my review if interested, but I think these are the best compound I’ve used yet and I’ve tried 3-4 on the Golf R. The ST40 BBK is awesome, and these are the pads it comes with originally so if it isn’t broke don’t fix it right? These are surprisingly gentle on the rotor too, I have the RS3 brake ducts on the front and with the extra cooling I’ve used the same rotors for 100,000 miles which is crazy lol I swapped the pads once but I’ve gone 40,000 miles and then I’ll check the pads and it’s like they’re new still even the mechanics laugh/surprised when they’re going through tire depth, brake depth and the fronts are still at 8-9mm they’re like wait…lol so yes these are amazing and work to save you and have saved me
