DS2500's are always hard to find mate, dont thing they have sensors either? I got EBC Yellows in the end and OE discs from my local TPS.
You could always try ECS or JHM lightweights. Venom Motorsport are agents for ECS and Ferodo so may be worth firing off an email

Hi,
Try the following link for the DS2500 pad for the S4. I emailed camskill a while ago and and got this reply:
We think it's this pad BUT please check shape against whats in the car

Forgot to add that I got my Pagid disks from EuroCarParts.

Got my drilled and slotted discs from ECS a couple of years back. They are hefty jobbies slightly lighter than the stock discs but nothing to write home about. JHM lightweights are a good bet.

at the moment with the missus facing redundancy its not necesarilly about buying the best performance product, so will probably go stock discs.
but thanks for the feedback anyway, may refer to it again in 6-12 months and replace the rotors

with regards to buying from TPS, can you do that if you are a normal customer and not in the trade so to speak?

My local one didn't let me, but the first thing I asked them was if they supplied public or just trade...
Other people buy from them fine, so I wonder if you don't just come out and make it obvious that you're not trade, then they'll probably sell to you.

Depends from shop to shop. Exeter don't care though never had any issue at all. They even ring me the second my overnight parts are in.
They should just open it up across the board, because the likes of GSF and Euro often sell really <beep> pattern or copy parts and it's all money for VW anyway so I don't know why they are picky
