Ah fantastic, thanks for letting me know. Better start putting money towards that now haha.

Just paint the calipurs red brembo like and wait till the front pads wear out and then replace the pads. I have used the EBC pads with new new slotted discs on an old falcon and they made a big difference together on a poorly braked std carbut I think pads alone on what is a well braked car already won't make a lot of difference.

Is it worth "upgrading" the brake pads to Brembo ones or EBC Greenstuff ones at all? Would this make the car brake better at all, when used with the standard callipers and standard discs?

I've seen some nice ones on Ebay and Euro Car Parts for some good prices so just wondering your opinions on whether I should get them now, or wait until my standard brake pads wear out.

Alright thanks, thats what I was thinking because even taking my car on QR for ~40mins I didn't notice any brake fade, only a very tiny bit driving the car home afterwards. And that track is known for fading brakes. As for painting the callipers well tbh I don't care what they look like, as long as they work well I have noticed the brakes are very good on the DS3, better than the Polo i used to have and at least imo they have more feel than the ones on a mk6 golf GTI that I have driven.
