If you want a set of carriers, and Mintex pads and discs pm me. this would upgrade you brakes to 312m. covered 3000 miles before i upgraded to 4 pots! £140 + what ever delivery would be.
EBC Greenstuff = Car is too heavy for these, they just are not upto the job if you use them hard
EBC Redstuff = Very hard compound, they tend to score the discs/warp just ask Unclefester. I'd stay clear
Mintex Extremes = They got some nice feedback from these
DS2500s = The dogs bollox
Of course there are Pagid and AP pads you can go for...Pagid RoadFast Pads are good too.

EBC red - *mutters darkly* i'd steer well clear unless you've deep pockets and don't mind warping discs on a weekly basis.
Personally i would stay clear of all EBC pads no matter what the colour. Don`t know what their discs are like though, hopefully a lot better then their pads.
Whats so Bad about EBC and Green stuff i use to have these on my old car and there was no problems at all???
I don't think there's anything wrong with any brand of brakes but it's more dependant on what is more suitable for your car. All manor of factors come into it when choosing brakes. Some discs/pads can't handle heavier cars etc, speed that the car is capable of...
I found that using EBC turbo discs on my old Mk3 Astra weren't up to the job and warped in less than a week after the initial wearing in period whereas Red.Dot discs and Greenstuff pads managed to lock the wheels up at 120mph+!!! The same set up on a friend's Corsa LET made alot of noise and there was very little feel in the brakes and it was very hard to judge how much brake pedal presure to apply as the (comparatively) small weight of the Corsa just couldn't get enough heat in the brakes.
The best option is to listen to the tried and tested opinions of the other members on here. Agreed, it might not be as cheap as you had hoped but someone else has gone through the trouble of finding out what works and what doesn't.

Mintex Extremes are about a third the price of the DS2500 and are good for quick blasts and sensible driving around.
when upgrading your brakes is it best to up grade front and back, or by up grading just the front, be ok!! i don't really drive my car that hard no more just the odd blast!! mostly motorway.
312 upgrade is standard Audi TT stuff which Golfturbo sales on ebay or you could just get the stuff from your local motor factors.
This brake upgrade is next on my list.
Does anyone know if the Cupra 4 2.8 V6 4WD 312mm discs or the Cupra R 1.8 Turbo 20v 312mm discs would fit the MK1 TDI??

Or would I be better going for same size discs as standard but vented instead with better pads?
I dont do track days or owt like that but I do like the feel of good brakes.
