So changed the ABS pump, the master brake cilinder. all braking force in 5-6% diffrence . but still the front right caliper is getting more hotter. Dont know what to look else

Are the discs MK7 CCS 340mm floating discs?

full stoptech floating 355 4 piston setup

So the internal vanes of the discs should be rotating the correct way...& hopefully they have not used one "blank" for both sides...

Thats probably your best bet. Idk if they're anything like ttrs rotors but 1 rotor is always hotter than the other because the vanes are exactly the same right to left so 1 of them is not cooling as designed because of the rotation being wrong

noup. stotech has L/R discs

looking to install back the OEMs and compare braking force/heat and see what the hell is up to

Could try disabling xds fully and see if there is still an imbalance, though I doubt it would make a massive difference unless something is off with it.

Is this even abnormal? Perhaps there is a slight difference in brake torque due to lines, or intended engineering design?

I noticed my right front wears a bit faster than my left front.

I'll see if I can find my temp gun and do a similar test.
