Look what I got on my front porch....finally my front pads that I need really bad.

Ordered june 9th....just dropped on the door step.....THMotorsports took their time sending these out. I have gotten stuff faster from them before.

Had called them twice and emailed them also....they might be starting to slip.

Which EBC pads did you get? I've been thinking about a separate set of autocross pads and just using the Stoptech pads for the street.

Eric, I got the EBC Blue pads...just one step up from the Yellow and still street compatible.

They have a great bite...and don't fade with heat.....that's why I got a seconds set.

They don't last too long for track pads...but they are worth it.

Q, What you looking at getting ? A 370 ?

Please do tell.
