Brakes

I got EBC slotted rotors all round, green stuff pads up front and black stuff at the rear. They are great brakes but sometimes grind when hot. Little bit of dust but not too much (less than stock).
I got fluid changed at same time and have not thought twice about them since.
If your locking heaps, i would say you are driving too fast for the car and conditions, braking too late and coming in too fast.

ok lets just clarify this, i don't lock up my brakes all the time, in fact only done it once since i got the car and that was to avoid an accident!!! i wanted to get my brakes pads changed because they don't seem to b stoppin me as well as they used to!!

i've use DBA Gold rotor & endless brake pads. I guess like most ppl experience with the DBA Gold rotor, they generate fair bit of noise, but they do brake better then standard, especially on high speed.

Hey, which model of endless pads are you using?
Do you know the Mu rating and temp rating?
How much do they cost?

Heard good reviews on them from mates saying they have a good bite n low dust!

Cheers!

hey guys,

Just got my brakes checked..

And they have a crack in the pad now.

Gonna give Race brakes a call, hopefully its under some type of warranty.

Don't know cause it came with the car from Jap. I'm not sure about low dust, cause they are pretty dusty 2 me.

I get my mechanic to find out which one they are

hey guys,

have a good report on race brakes service,

after Finding the crack on the pad, the guys were happy to replace the pad for $50. $150 for new ones.

They said i didnt use it hard enough on the street which could of lead to it not heating up enough. which meant it didnt bed in properly which meant lots of squeal..

The crack could of been caused by not using it hard enough.. but i dunno ??

I have standard and they are pretty good, so what about the premium ones. They aren't really anymore expensive either.

well bendix advanced were the worse set of pads i've ever used, so damn noisy is wasnt funny.
