A lot of people slate EBC stuff, but I think that's when they are subjected to heavy track work.

When my front OEM pads were shot prior to the 36k mile service and an advisory on the rears - I decided to replace the whole lot - discs and all. I went for the EBC Turbo Grooved discs (cheesey, I know :dead:) and complemented those with EBC Redstuff pads all round.

They behave pretty much like the OEM kit when town driving, but once they have some heat in them - they are very good equipment for A-road blats. I've yet to push them too much where brake fade becomes a problem, but I've never been on track with it - which would obviously stress them even more.

They produce much less dust than the OEM ones as well. I noticed that the alloys were not as dirty when I came to wash the car.

All in all, a very good purchase I think - and I'd be honest and say not if it was otherwise. For everyday driving with the occasional A-road jaunt - the EBC stuff are good all-rounders.

I ordered my kit from here. Typically took about three days to turn up.
