Default advise on using ds3000 on the road

Hi guys been offered a set of dirt cheap ds3000 pads for my gti6 calipers used but loads of meat left, just after opinions on using them for daily use as they are designed not for road use

i dont use 3000 pads but at the moment i have a set of cl rc-6 (hispec 285mm) and would say so far best pads ive used. i believe these are similar temp ratings to your ds3000.

ok from cold, amazing on track for feel and bite. they are lasting very well and i am heavy on brakes.

i use these on a track car that i drive to the track. they squeel very badly when cold. ive never heard brakes squeel like these haha.

pad dust will not come off my rims. (not that i care)
