Default Has anyone tried these brakes

Im in the need for new brakes pretty soon. I am thinking about getting these to replace my oem brake pads. Anyone ever try EBC brakes?

So I bought them, they have different models for the brake sizes after talking to the helpdesk. I will let everyone know how they are as soon as they are installed over oem.

Be sure to bump only once a day.

Also, next time, do a search first instead of creating then bumping a thread.

Thats true, my green EBCs ate up quite a bit of rotor (I cant remember how long it took though), so I got new rotors & pads recently.

I am using the Red ones now with R1 concept rotors. I love them. I have had them at the dragon and many autox's this year and they work great. Plus I still have alot of pad life left

I have Red Stuff now and they have been on for a few thousand miles. They squeal sometimes, but I like them for the most part.

I have the Yellows currently. Surprisingly they are gripper cold than the stock ones. They are completely quite. The track event is next month so I haven't tested their fade resistance yet. But I'm 100% sure they will be better than the stock ones that melted in the back and turned to ash in the front.

Im just going to be placing the brakes on the stock rotors. I dont see a point of really changing stock or having them refinished if I still have brake pad life and the rotors look good.

As long as the rotors surface is smooth, no high/low spots you'll be fine doing that. Some will swear that rotors need to be turned with every pad change. I disagree.
