ebc brakes

[HIGGSPEED]

Just fitted a set of EBC ultimax discs and yellowstuff pads all round, oh and a set of toyo proxes T1R to my RB182 cup.
I am well impressed so far, heres a few pics

ebc rear

the pads have a break in coating on which really helped to bed them in quickly.


i am fitting my new whiteline rear ARB and front polybushes on thursday. i will post more pics of that too. Also i am putting it on the dyno tomorrow as i am having a new custom made stainless full decat system fitted on friday and i want to see the before and after figures. I will try to post pics of that too.
cheers

Looks nice and fresh. Be careful as alot of custom exhausts are poorly made and can reduce power

Any reason you fitted the front and rear discs differently in regards to the direction of the grooves?

look really nice though, where from and how much by the way? (If you don't mind of course!) I've heard some horror stories about ebc being useless. How do you find the pads?

Nice upgrades. Good discs them, ran them on my old car with greenstuff. I found them to be excellent!

AHA! Edges gets todays eagle eye award!! you are of course right, i took the photo of the front before realising they are handed and i had got the wrong one on the front!! Dohh!!!

Yes i rate EBC stuff myself as a biker i have used their stuff for years on my race bikes with no problems.
As for price i got the brakes through Euro car parts. i am in the motor trade (sort of.....classic bike exhausts) so i got trade. just short of £500 with 2 new rear wheel bearings, 2 track rod end and 2 lower ball joints. (thought i might as well change everything i can while i am in there). I think the brakes themselves cost around £360.

Thanks for the warning martin, i am fairly well connected in the exhaust business and i am having my own design built by a very well known manufacturer. another thread will follow for that though. :cheers:

I personally don't like EBC stuff in general, but what you've done looks smart there mate.

Good feedback, thanks! I need to start looking into these soon.

i only noticed the brakes as I made the same mistake on my 330 in the summer haha

Dont rate EBC personally after having a few sets fail on me whilst racing motocross.....
