Are my EBC Red the real deal or fake?
 

I just picked up a set of front and rear redstuff ceramic. The rear pads came in a black box with all the fancy EBC graphics.

But the front pads came in a blue box with similar graphics, but not exactly the same.

Finish of the metal part for the rear pad are smooth and the numbers are printed directly on the metal part of the pad and covered with black backing plate(?), so can't really see the numbers. Front pad's finish is quite coarse and the numbers are printed on the black backing plate thingy.

Can anybody please tell me how to determine whether mine are genuine or not and wheter I have to new formular or the old sh*t.

Cheers.

I doubt theres any company who would want to fake EBC brakes!!! :D

them chinese pirate anything out there.

Top pic is a new box, bottom is much older.

Impreza / Evo pads will mostly be in the new boxes.

If you can take some pictures of the actual pads I can tell you exactly (back plate, showing the numbers).
