Have just put EBC TGD's on the front with new ceramic compound red stuff pads. Look and work great. Cost about 320 from a good guy off SIDC. PM if you want his details!

you will find rubbing the disks with some slightly warm cheese will stop you better that EBC green matey

the disks aren't too bad depending on what you want to do, but green are really not suitable for a scoob. if its EBC you want then try the new redstuff ceramics.

you'll probs find more advice by doing a search, or at least looking in the forum entitled 'brakes'- which the mods will no doubt move this too pdq.
