[sean red i]

fitted the new pads (ebc reds) done 150 miles so far on them. took it very easy for a while the pads are fractionaly bigger than the standard ones and had to wear through the slight lips on the edge of the discs. so far so good no fade stop well. havent had any cold issues yet.

Best of luck I still have my brakes to do I also have ebc reds but with ebc up-rated discs at the moment I have ferrodo pads fitted (by the supplying garage) and they seem ok but boy do they smoke/stink when there hot!!!!

Fitted my new disc's and pads today Oh what a laugh!!!! The disc's come from the factory coated in a black hi-temp finish but here's the good bit even the brake surface is coated. I dropped ebc a note and they said it wears off in the first 100 odd miles. So off I set well the first few prods of the brakes were shocking they were noisy and well I had to throw my foot out the door to stop but things soon improved so after about 60 miles I started giving the brakes a harder push and WOW this is getting really good brakes are sharp and feel loads more powerful. So anyway long down hill section to a set of traffic lights I come to a stop and the car disappears in a cloud of smoke!!!!! so jump out check disc's and yep the coating has now gone it was just the last of it burning off!!!!! but the highlight was the guy behind me the shear terror in his eyes as he thought my car was gonna go up in flames and him not be able to get his car out the way. I notice ebc brakes now with a coating on the pads which reduces the need for long bedding in periods
