That's probably the kit I'd go with for my GLI. Again, as a daily driver... it meets the needs. The semi-metallic pads work good in many different temp ranges. However, semi-metallic pads also produce more brake dust, so you'll get more debris on your rotors faster. One of the other downsides is that they're more aggressive on the braking rotor because they're metallic, so you'll need to check your rotors more often for thinning.

Pros: good in many temps
Cons: produces more brake dust

OEM Audi Brake pads

The rear brake wear on the B9 SQ5 is a known thing. The programming for stability control is super aggressive on applying the rear brakes on turns to keep the rear of the car planted so the rear pads wear down fast if you are even just a moderately spirited driver. The rear pads on my SQ5 only lasted 17k before reaching 2mm

Pros: aggressive stability control
Cons: rear pads wear fast
Vehicle: Audi SQ5
Mileage: 17000 km

My car has smaller brakes than yours, so I was able to downsize to a 245 45R17 for winter use from the 255 35R19 summers and the car is so much smoother but still can handle just as good.

Pros: car is much smoother
Vehicle: Audi A4

I managed to get my hand on a set of MK1 Audi TT front and rear brakes for a steal, also round the corner to my work which was even better. This takes my front brakes from 288mm up to 312mm and takes my rear brakes from 232mm solid discs to 256mm vented discs.

Pros: bigger front brakes
Vehicle: Audi TT

I found a nominal improvement in braking power and feel with the 12.3". But as NOVAdub stated, the biggest impact was on repeatability.

Pros: improvement in braking power
Vehicle: Audi TT

If you want an honest oppinion, do not run these brakes, just get yourself a corrado set up w/ good pads and you will be more than happy.

Cons: heavy
Vehicle: Audi
