EBC disks and pads

[p1ggm]

are they any good?? looking to change mine soon as they have done a few miles now

[Gumball]

no dont buy them.

mine failed and warped before i even got to KH

[scoobykev]

Is that the red stuff pads?, if it is then i'd say NO.

Had them on the car for a while, gave up with them and put on mintex pads.

anywhere online cheap for them, as i am gonna keep them in the boot just incase my pads go at knocky

I'm using red stuff pads without issue, on standard discs. Taken a good beating round knockhill and lived to tell the tale quite nicely.

Its seems theres a lot of info regarding this combination, it seem to

be a matter of what type of driving and bedding in period, It seems

most believe on Scoobynet to give a wide birth, but again you get folks

who say there ok on there cars with Dunc at Hypertech even being a fan.

Anyway a stayed clear and went for DBA and Pagid pads, no probs and

stop like shit, but they do cost more as a combination, maybe its a

price thing?

I'm not a heavy braker usually. Even on track it seems. I'm also using the WRX Pads and the standard WRX discs, rather than the brembo STI stuff.

[alistair_learmonth]

It seems that disc warping and pad quick wearing was the issue. I can't

remember if it was a failing for Sti or WRX cars or a combination of

both. It was well debated on Scoobynet.

Chris i had a look at that link, cheap pads, but it doesnt say which make. have you used them before?

I had them fail rapidly on my WRX and would never use them again.

 

EBC aftersales customer support sucks too!

[jcscoob]

Another vote for Mintex here. Got the M1166 which are race/rally pads from www.asperformance.co.uk for £65 and that was for the prodrive/alcon 330mm kit. Should be able to get them cheaper if it is the standard caliper you are still running. Apparently Mintex have over produced these pads, thats why they are going so cheap. Half price I think.

I'm running ebc t/groove discs on the front and rear with mintex 1155 pads front and rear too, i've also got goodridge braided hoses and good quality fluid and my brakes work fantastic using the standard brembo calipers and i'm very heavy on the brakes (last minute hero)
