Brake pads options for 370mm Brembo 4 pots

Hi all, Im having a nightmare trying to find the specific part numbers for replacement pads on my R ST that comes with the 370mm disc and Brembo 4pot calipers. Ideally I’d like Ferrodo DS Performance or DS2500 but I don’t know which ones to get ? Eg the specific part number Alternatively...

Hi,
I replaced my Brembo 370 drilled & the 310 rear with Tarox, pads EBT blue stuff.
I know not cheap but you can't beat good quality when your life is depending on brakes. I also found the Brembo's holes kept blocking up from the brake dust = not doing what they were designed for. If you go down this road you will see a vast improvement in braking, you'll definitely change the pressure applied to the brake wet or dry 10 x better than Brembo & they look mean as well
Good luck

The stock discs on these cars are not Brembo.
The only thing Brembo about them is the Caliper.

The OEM front disc is made by SHW.
The rear is just the standard disc on all MQB cars like these.

The dust has nothing to do with the holes on the OEM disc (SHW not Brembo)
It’s because of the OEM pad compound is very dust heavy, it would clog up any disc and are generally not very good.

I went EBC Red, much better in respect of dust, no more clogged holes and much better braking.

Depending on how much meat is left on the discs, you may be able to have them skimmed on the car. I don't think the discs or the pads last very long though.
